One part in the story that really amazed me was where Lev is talking to Pastor Dan at the end about how Lev has become the face of the unwinds. It sparked debate among the community, unwinds were becoming less of a given and more of a controversial topic.
"For years, Unwinds were just faceless kids that no one wanted - but now you've put a face on unwinding" (327).
I don't know if you've ever seen Happy Feet, but this strongly reminded me of the ending scene, where the penguins' dancing is interpreted as some sort of plea. A refresher (go to 5:39): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-h1sXumytI
Some people think they need to leave the area alone, others don't think they should change any habits just because some penguins were dancing. But they were heard. At last, their welfare was being considered.
Which brings me to my question: Do you think unwinds will be better off after the publicity given to them by Lev, and why?
