chapter 1 of unwind summary

The book unwind is about where there was a second civil war and there was a bill of life passed. Which says that a parent could choose to unwind there child from 13-18 which is the process of taking out the organs of the person and giving them to another person so the child could live on in another body.
   The first chapter is about a kid named Connor  who’s 16 and his parents signed the wager form for him to be unwind. Conner find this document signed in his dads study and he tell his friend Arianna about what his parents plan to do and she’s very sad about it so they discuss a plan to run away with each other. When Conner gets home he sees his  dad sitting down at the fireplace  and he looks very troubled but who wouldn’t be he technically should his son’s soul to the grim reaper his dad tells him his mom has dinner for him in the microwave but he doesn’t go to eat instead he goes to his room and pretends he asleep till he runs away. so a little skip further in the chapter he goes to Ariannas house and tries to see if she was ready to leave but she decided not to go with him. So he travels to a trucker stop and sees two police cars patrolling the truck stop so he hides and waits for a place to hide he sees a trucker leave a room in the truck and he leaves the door ajar so he runs in there but then the trucker  walks back to his truck and sees him so he lets him stay in there till morning. But the trucker gets pulled over and arrested but Conner bolts in to a road and runs inside a taxi.
     My personal reaction to this reading selection was disgusted because why would parents even do that like to me its just murder, killing your own child and giving his organs away the whole concept of unwinding is just sickening but it was an interesting read though.
      if i was to create notes to help me remeber the most important point from this read i would choose lists because when i write a list i tend to remeber the material better. When i take notes i usually put them in lists because i tend to be able to learn/understand the material better.
