I was pleased when Connor’s nurse helped disguise him. Connor was in the spot Lev had destroyed, so he lost an arm. From surgery he thinks he is unwound, but he has an unwounds arm. Connor told the nurse his name; the nurse responded happily. “As it so happens, an ID with the picture charred off was found.. it would be a shame if the ID went to waste”(318). This was lovely; the nurse saved Connors life by hiding him.

I was shocked when Connor survived the bombing. Lev was very anxious when Connor was going into the operating room. The guard shot Blaine with a tranq gun and hit the detnator. Everyone was very scared Connor had died. but they spotted something in the distance it was Connor! ¨His face is a shredded, bloody mess. He´s lost an eye.... But he´s alive!¨ (311). This made me shocked because I was expecting Connor to die.

I was shocked when the boy who walked into the pawn shop knocked out the store clerk and robed him. After a long time of convincing the employee the gold necklace was worth $500 the boy followed the worker to the safe. ¨He got him to open the safe, and the moment he did, he knocked him out and cleaned the safe¨ (161). This suprised me because the kid would have recieved $500 anyways.

When Cy took a golden bauble from a X-Mass shop I was confused. When Lev looked away for a second, Cy was gone. He was in a X-Mass shop. Cy asked the employee if there were any nut crackers. ¨Oh there on the back wall. The woman turns to look across the store, and the moment she does Cy picks up a dangling gold bauble¨(132). Cy did such a daring act that confused me, making me wonder why he did it.

One part that was very surprising was when Lev wanted to get unwound. When Connor pulled Lev out of the car and held him hostage, Lev tried to break free. He wanted to run back to the car with the pastor in it to go to the harvesting camp. ¨I would never run away from my own tithing¨ (42/43). This was very strange and surprising to me because he chose his fate as dying without even trying to change it.
