A thorough, yet fun final review

You’re about to be unwound: 100Consider the quotation below:

“But on the other hand, he’s changing. He’s been getting into fewer fights…every time he forces himself to think before acting, it’s her voice in his head telling him to slow down…” (204)

Whose perspective is this excerpt from? What does the realization in this quotation reveal about this character? Whose voice is in his head?

You’re about to be unwound : 200Consider the quotation below:“All at once the truth comes to [him]. Pastor Dan

wasn’t telling him to run away from the kidnapper that day- he was telling [him] to run away from him. From his parents…after all that talk year after year about [his] holy duty; it’s all been a sham” (80).

Name the character that is being described in this excerpt. What is important about what this character realizes at this point? How does this knowledge directly impact this character’s struggles and future decisions?

You’re about to be unwound : 300

In Part 2, “Storked”, of Shusterman’s novel, a character is faced with a difficult decision when he thinks:

“The thought of having to face them makes him feel ashamed. Doing the right thing shouldn’t make you ashamed…The police have been called…”(78)

Which character from Shusterman’s novel is being described here? What do these thoughts reveal about this character’s growth throughout the course of the novel?

You’re about to be unwound : 400Consider the directions below:

“What I want you to do is write a letter…Write a letter to someone you love. Make it as long as you want, or as short as you want; I don’t care. But fill it with everything you wished you could say, but never had the chance…” (108)

Who is the speaker? What is he or she talking about? What discovery does the protagonist of Unwind make as a result of completing these directions? What does this reveal about him or her as a character?

You’re about to be unwound : 500Consider the quotation below:“His teeth are perfect. They’re not the teeth of an

aging war veteran. The way he looks at people- looking into their eyes-it’s as if he were sizing those eyes up, looking for a pair that might suit him…” (207)

Which character from Shusterman’s novel is described here? What does this description reveal about the first impressions of this character? How and why do these first impressions change?

A change of plans to say the least: 100

Consider the comments below:“He didn’t just follow you to the bathroom- he pushed past

me first. He made sure I knew he was following you here. This whole thing wasn’t about you, it was about me- just like you said. He wanted me to catch him. He wanted to make me crazy, to get me fighting mad. So I didn’t take the bait” (152).

Who is the speaker? Who is he or she talking to? What would this character’s usual plan have been when faced with an obstacle? How and why does this character approach this heated scene differently?

A change of plans to say the least : 200

Consider the excerpt below:

“There were only thirty guys in all. One-in six chance it was Connor…Please, God, let it not be Connor. Let it not be Connor. Her last words to him had been angry ones” (179)

Who is the speaker of this quotation? Describe the scene that creates this suspenseful thought process. How and why have this character’s perspectives on Connor changed throughout the course of the novel?

A change of plans to say the least : 300

Consider the excerpt below:“He knows he’s been changed by this moment, transformed in

some deep and frightening way. Wherever his journey now takes him, it doesn’t matter, because he has already arrived there in his heart. He’s become like that briefcase in the ground- full of gems yet void of light, so nothing sparkles, nothing shines” (193).

Who is this passage referring to? How and why has this character changed from the beginning of the novel to this point? How does this realization impact his or her future decisions and people that he or she associates with?

A change of plans to say the least :400

Consider the quotation below:

“Now I must to the monument alone. / Within this three hours will fair Juliet wake./ She will beshrew me much that Romeo/ Hath had no notice of these accidents,/ But I will write again to Mantua…”(23-27)

A change of plans to say the least :500

Consider the lines below:

“What if the potion which the Friar/Subtly hath ministered to have me dead,/ Lest in this marriage he should be dishonored/Because he married me before to Romeo?/ I fear it is; and yet methinks it should not/…How if, when I am laid in the tomb, / I wake before the time that Romeo/Come to redeem me? There’s a fearful point!/…..” (24-33)
