Introduction and thesis
I read Unwind written by Neal Shusterman. It is in the genres of Biopunk, Adventure, and Dystopia. It was published in November 6, 2007. The goal of the report is to inform others of this book. Summary
This section will need to be at least two paragraphs. An entire novel shouldn’t be summarized in one short paragraph, since the storyline is in-depth and includes many sub-stories, plots, and actions. A thorough summary of the novel’s storyline should be written and expounded upon for this section. This section is not for the discussion of characters or descriptions of them, nor is it a place to discuss conflicts in depth. Those deeper discussions are reserved for later sections of the report.

One example of this is seen in the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles and the 1989 movie Dead Poets Society. Although there are a vast amount of similarities between these two works, there are three prevailing comparisons between the characters. They include: the comparisons between Neil Perry and Finny, Todd Anderson and Gene Forrester, and finally, Neil’s father (Mister Perry) and Brinker’s father (Mister Hadley). These main points demonstrate one key example of how books can be similar to movies.…

    A person’s right to their body has been an issue often debated throughout human history. Some examples of body right struggles include body snatching, organ harvesting, legal kidnapping, and abortion. In a novel by Neal Shusterman entitled Unwind, the repurposing of human teenagers is decided by their parents or legal guardians.

    The hate and bitterness of his “snarl” is the final implication as to how the Misfit feels about religion (O’Connor 645). Bellamy insists that the reason for the devilish message in the Misfit’s speech is due to his mission to play to role of the Anti-Christ. Bellamy asserts that, “The central message of the Misfit’s sermon, for a sermon is what his remarks amount to, is a familiar one in Flannery O’Connor’s fiction; there is no middle ground between absolute belief in Christ’s messianic fiction and a belief that like is nasty, brutish, and short,” (200).
