Unwinding In Frankenstein

Improved Essays
UnWholly, the second book in the Unwind series, picks back up where the first book had left it. This book starts off with the introduction of new characters. Miracolina, a tithe, is the first new character. She was to be tithed because her parents had promised God that if their son had lived, they would sacrifice their daughter. The bus of tithes had brought in another character, Timothy. The bus had been ambushed and the children on the bus had been "rescued" by Lev, an AWOL from the first book, and the rest of his team. Cam Comprix, the first ever rewind, was introduced lastly. Cam was an important experiment. Every bit of him was hand selected from talented children. Camus was like a living Frankenstein. Roberta, Cam's caregiver, had worked with him to help build up all of his physical and mental skills. The book will later discuss Lev's new plan of rescuing unwilling tithes. He had a giant house where these tithes lived, new recruits coming regularly. Connor was still the leader of the Graveyard, a place for AWOLs to live …show more content…
(Page 44) I believe it is a really nice plot twist to the series. Unwinding was made to help injured people, not build a Frankenstein. How the author decided to make Cam have parts from a various amount of people was a very intriguing idea. Especially since Cam's brain was made of multiple brains and how he had various skin grafts across his body so he'd have something of every ethnicity. He was said to of had body parts from the greatest and most talented children to ever be unwound. The fact that the author wrote about Camus having to battle every person that he was made of, and still have to create his own personality, was completely ingenious. Cam was in constant battle with "himself" and trying to figure out every identity that made him. He had various different opinions flood his mind on everything. Each "child" still had their memories, even if they were no longer living as a

    The fiend in Frankenstein suffers from abandonment and depression; however, the debate of nature versus nurture is one that applies to the monster. Because the monster is a product of an unfortunate environment, he makes tragic life choices. He murders and impairs others to gain the attention of his creator, who left him alone and defenseless. As a young child, he was not nurtured and quickly became inept at dealing with his emotions. University of Saskatchewan's Colleen Miller states, “… these [dysfunctional] attitudes qualify as possible determinants of depressive vulnerability rather than as correlates or consequences of the depressive episode itself.”…

    Ethical Issues In Unwind

    • 754 Words

    In his novel Unwind, Neal Shusterman offers a unique perspective on the possible outcome of our society’s disagreement on ethical issues, specifically directed towards the debate on abortion. Shusterman portrays the aftermath of a second civil war, in which the process of unwinding, a term disguising the harsh reality of dismembering children, is born. This form of retroactive abortion proved to be the only measure that would restore peace to the nation, however flawed and drastic it seemed to both the public and the authorities. The process of unwinding presented in the novel is an unjust and unrealistic solution to the problems prevalent in today’s society, serving only to further exacerbate the tension and issues throughout the country;…

    Many of the professional literary critiques that emerged following the publishing of Frankenstein were less than positive in their evaluations of its quality and value. Some of these critics devalued it based on its failure to present a positive message to readers while others criticized inconsistencies within the story. One article that criticized both aspects of this novel was The Literary Panorama and National Register’s “Review of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus.” This paper was well known in this era and considered a credible source of information regarding literature. Despite offering superficial compliments, the author attempts to prove that this work of fiction is a disappointment considering the school from which it proceeds.…
