The book Unwind has characteristics of a dystopian society like it has a backstory. In Unwind they have a war against reproductive rights like abortion. At the end they came up with a solution, Unwinding.

For my Mosaic I did Connor. Connnor is sweet and tough. He gets angry a lot but all he wants to do is protect Risa. When she is in trouble he helps so he is kind.
I was trying to get more of my age or older to like my video. The point of my video was to try to make other people read Unwind.  I was trying to get more of a action angle. In my video I was talking about the main parts that stand out to me and that I thought would make people be interested in reading the book. The music was hard for me to find. I couldn't find of good song that went with the book. There are so many songs it was hard to choose from. I chose the song I did because I thought it was the best one I could find. The song is kind of slow then gets faster it is called I still believe. I think this song went with the book because Risa and Connor still believed that they might make it if they tried.

Hey, E-jay I just started reading more this year. I like reading different kinds of books too. I do think that one of the main characters with be unwound just to make more suspenseful and the rest will make it to 18. To make it more interesting I think someone needs to get unwound because like you said not every book should have a happy ending. In reality there are not that many happy endings if any at all. I think the book is good so far. I get what you are saying why you don't agree I just think it's really different compared to nows society but I get it's in the future and the society is really twisted like how the parents get to choose to have their kids unwound.
