Unwind Questions Part 3 (Transit)

1. In the course of the book, Connor and Risa get separated from Lev, who travels for a time with another character. Why do you think Shusterman chose to split the narrative into two distinct threads? What do you think this achieves? How does this affect the evolution of the characters? It affects the other because since they are both thinking how the others are doing they will be getting distracted and think if the other have been caught and unwound or if they are fine.  
2. On p125 & 129  the novel touches on same-sex relationships. Has the attitude toward same-sex couples changed (for better or worse) in this futuristic society? Explain your response. Lev says that he has heard of it before but in his head all of that stuff is a part of a different universe. So in this world im not sure if it has changed for better or worse I guess it could be better because it could be better because people don't mind same sex couples.  
3. P130 begins our journey into understanding a little more about Cy-Fi. Through his character, what do you learn about the effects of unwinding on both the donor and receiver? If you get a part of someone elses body mostly the brain they are still there and tell people what to do depending what part of the brain or part of the body it is. Cy-Fi says that someone is telling him to take anything that is shinny so he does. He also said that he got a peace of someone who had been unwound.  
4. What is the real reason Cy-Fi need to get to Joplin, Mo? Pg 131. It does not really say the reason why he is leaving and going to Joplin all that we are told is that they are going there but we don't have a reason yet.  
5. What is the significance of Connor holding in his anger around Roland? Pg 147. It shows that he is listening to Risa and taking her advice to not take the bait. Which is good because Roland is starting to think that Conner really does not care. 
6. Connor's anger and lack of impulse control is often a problem for him, until he learns to control and channel his emotions. Do you ever feel like your impulses are stronger than your will? What strategies do you use to control your feelings? Do they work? Some ways that I change the way that I am feeling is I try to think about something else or something that makes me happy. I also can just go and talk to some of my Friends or family if I need help with anything.
