Unwind Reaction Paper Imagine a world where a mass amount of children were being aborted not while in the womb, but as teenagers. This is the exact world that is portrayed in Unwind by Neal Shusterman. The story takes place in a future where unwinding (the process of taking teenagers apart and giving their body parts to others who need them) is a common practice.

Honor is upholding ethical and moral choices, and maintaining an excellent reputation. For a student, it can be quite difficult to maintain a virtuous moral compass. This is due to an abundance of different factors, like peer pressure and high expectations. In my own life, I maintain my own honor by not taking the easy way out.
