Ch. 20: When Louie was a prisoner in Ofuna, he and the other prisoners suffered under inhumane conditions. Tortured by their Japanese captors, they barely had enough food to eat and there was a lack of proper hygiene (they had no toilet paper, everyone had dysentery). There was still “a humming underground of defiance.” This included “saving up intestinal gas” and letting “thunderclaps fly for Hirohito.”

Ch. 15: In this intense chapter, Louie, Phil and Mac struggle to survive an attack by a Japanese bomber. They thought the plane was coming to save them. The bomber then strafed them several times. Louie survived by hiding in the water under the raft and fighting off the sharks that were circling him. Then, all three men had to patch the raft, while pumping air into the raft and flighting the sharks with an oar.

Ch.10: When Louie was at Funafuti, he was lying in his tent and heard a small plane overhead. He thought it was a lost crew. Instead, it was a Japanese scouting plane. Soon after the rest of the Japanese planes were bombing them. “Bombs were so close that the men could hear them spinning in the air.” The men were panicked and in shock. They all tried to take cover, but not everyone survived the immense destruction.

Ch. 4: When Louie ran in the finals of the 1932 Olympic 5000, he ran faster than any of his competitors in the last lap of the race. The winner of the race ran his last lap in 69.2 seconds, Louis ran it in 56 seconds. When he was running, Louie was thinking of his brother’s words, “a lifetime of glory is worth a moment of pain.” I was impressed by the energy Louis was able to put into the final lap. He gave his all.

A freaky part is when the protagonist Trazyn got killed by a raptor and transferred his consciousness to his lynchguard, And quickly it started to look like Trazyn.”His hood sprang up segment by segment, rising over his head as the lychguard´s death mask rearranged into his own features. A cloak grew out from his shoulders,”(26) This is freaky since to see something start reshaping into the person you just killed.

A stressful situation in the book is when, Jennfier ran away and Gabby was frantically trying to find her. This is stressful since Jennfier might kill herself and Gabby is responsible for her.”She knew only that she must find Jennifer and stop her before it was too late, before she lost her granddaughter forever.”.(92) this illustrates the panic that Gabby was in by showing that this is all she can think about.

A funny part of the book is when. Jennifer and her grandmother Gabby were shoveling horse poop. I find this funny since it’s such an out of Earth activity especially for a grandma and her grandchild, and shoveling horse poop.”How many granddaughter do you suppose can say they shoveled horse pop with nanas(grandma) even once in their life?“(p44) This shows by asking this question that not many would do this willingly.

A sad part of the book is when the protagonist Jennifer inversely tried to commit suicide. Jennifer has had a down hill life up to this point, to point were you give attention that anyone could end your life and except that. She almost khs by ¨the slightly hyperventilating intake of drugs and alcohol, allowing her to drift off on a cloud of Xanax and tequila¨(2). This is shows how sad her life was up to this point.

A scary part was when the FBI showed up at the club. When Henry and Keiko was at the Black Elks club, the FBI showed up for bootlegging since the club was Jamaican Ginger.¨But as shocked as he was, Stunned was more like it, Keiko looked terrified. Henry felt the heavy hands of the two FBI men as they escorted them both.¨(p57) This is scary because having the FBI just come and then carry you with everyone in a panic .

A sad part of the book is when we are first introduced to the main character, Henry. When we meet Henry we learn that his wife Eathel died. This has changed Henry, making him alone and not enthusiastic about anything.¨Deep down there was an Ethel shaped hole in Henry´s life, without her, all he felt was a draft of loneliness¨(4).This proves Henry is alone and not enthusiastic by saying with a draft of loneliness.

A important part of the book is when Blaine gets shot by a tranq dart and explodes causing Mai to detonate in the chop shop. This is important because the expositions helped Connor, Risa and Lev avoid being unwound. Also This event is change the max age to be unwound to 16 years old. "He aims his tranq gun at Blaine's left thigh, and fires."(309) I think the moment they fired the tranq dart the explosions started.

a statement that surprised me is when the narrator said that the whole unwinding prosse take only a mear three hours. This is surprising because amputating a arm just a arm takes 20-60 minents so now amangen that all your body part takes around or longer then that time so when you to the whole body it should take at least 12 hours which is 4 time 3 hours. "It takes three hours." (page 288) Just four words surprised.

One trait to describe Lev is clever is shown, when Lev came up with a way to get food from dead animals on the train rails, When he was going on the track with CyFi. "We walk a few miles down the tracks, marking each dead critter with a stick. Then, When the next train comes through, we backtrack. Anything we find that's not marked is fresh."(123) Lev said. This exhibits Lev's cleverness by finding a way to get food.

A funny point in the book is when Connor and Risa start clapping and everyone else panics. They were outside of their school and surrounded by cops. Risa told Connor to start clapping. A student "drops his backpack and stares at them in utter horror. 'Clappers!' he screams." (87-88) "It echoes in the kids around them." (88) This shows how a student is fearful of people clapping, yelling alerting kids causing panic.

One importnet part was when Conor, Risa, and Lev meet. Conor is runing away from being unwound, and Risa is also. Conor pulls the tithe, Lev out of his car and he gets hit with a tranquilizer. Conor takes him. Conor and Lev run to woods as well, and Conor say, "Whatever you're running from, you won't get away unless we work together"(38).This shows them comeing together to work together to survive.

Rafi is finished with The Jacket
One surpising part is when the main character threw his jacket across a fence to just go get it again.He was ashamed to wear it to school since the jacket is so ugly. "I flung it over the fence into the alley. Later, However, I swiped the jacket off the ground and went inside to drape it across my lap and mope."(3).This shows that dispite he dosn't like the jacket he still feels greatful that he has a jacket.
