1. this section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing?: it shows that he's gotten over his whole high and mighty sch-tic and now will do whatever he needs to do to help Cy-Fi and himself get to Joplin
2. while being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "would it be better to die or be unwound?", if given the choice what would you choose and why?: unwound because 1. then i can help people 2. my parents signed the order for a reason so that means that i was probably deserving and 3. then i can rest easy knowing that there's no emotional hardship
3. another question the kids in the book discuss is "if every part of you is alive but inside someone else, are you alive or dead?" they also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out, and if the soul stays intact, what do you think?: i think that you are dead and that the soul if it exists disappears as you need to be whole and alive for there to be a soul it's like in Thomas Hobbes' Theseus paradox where if you take something apart completely but rebuild it later but while your taking the thing apart you replace the removed parts which is the original thing?, i believe that it can only be the thing if it's all of the original parts put together
4. this section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin, as they get closer, Cy-Fi's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. what are some of the things he does, or things he likes that are not his own behaviours or memories?: he remembers tasting pumpkin ice cream which Cy-Fi hates,he remembers where he buried pets and some stolen items
5. what was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard?: things that he had stolen when he was still two people like necklaces rings and pins
6. this section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination, what do you think of his parents' behaviour? and what does Lev's support show you about his character?: i think his parents response was completely justified and Lev's support shows that he cares enough about Cy-Ty enough to not only see his journey through but to help him and his parents connect again
