Unwind Part 4/5

In this section of the book i read pages 195-262. In this section at the beginning when they arrive at the final destination there are a list of rules that have to be followed. These rules are called the "Ten Demandments". These rules are put into place to make sure the kids know what to do and to show them what is expected of them. The demandments are: #1 You arrived here be necessity you stay here by choice. #2 Surviving has earned you the right to be respected. #3 My way is the only way. #4 Your life is my gift to you, treat it like one. #5 You are better than those who would unwind you, rise to the occasion. #6 Everyone in the graveyard contributes, no expectations. #7 Teenage rebellion is for suburban schoolchildren, get over it. #8 Hormones will not rule my desert. #9 At Eighteen you cease to be my concern. #10 Make something of yourself, this is an order. I think that these are great rules to be followed in order to keep everyone in order. When they First get to the graveyard they are assigned a job that they will do every day and Risa is assigned to be a medic. Connor's job is to be the mechanic. He has never know how to do anything mechanically but he is going to give it a shot. Ronald gives Connor the idea that the captain is to perfect looking for a war veteran and he thinks that when the kids are called to go on a secret mission and don't come back that they are killed and harvested to keep him looking good. Connor thinks about this for a while and he starts to see how it could be true in more ways. In the end it was all not true and the perfect teeth were just denture that had been made for him that matched what his sons teeth looked like. The captain then tells Connor his story about why he is doing this for all the AWOL unwinds and this makes Connor have more trust and loyalty to the captain. Lev on the other hand became very street smart while he was on his own and ended up in the connections of safe houses. he wouldn't tell the kids he was a tithe, instead he told them that his parents signed the unwind papers after he committed an armed robbery. By the time he ended up at the graveyard he was know not to be messed with and kids stayed away from him. In the end of this section cops find them and take Connor, Risa and Ronald to go to the nearest harvest camp.
