Unwind essay 
Write a letter, in essay format, to The Committee persuading them that you should not be unwound. Provide three reasons that you should be kept alive and allowed to continue your life as it is now. Use examples from the novel to compare with, or support your personal, individual situation. Cite the textual evidence properly. This is not a simple task, it must include descriptions of your accomplishments, details of your reasoning and heartfelt emotional appeals to not be unwound.
