Risa is assigned to play in a band at a Harvest
Camp, performing upbeat tunes while teens are marched to their unwinding. Risa
is conflicted: she knows playing in the band will keep her alive longer, but
it’s at the expense of others, and her joy at having her fingers on a piano is
matched by the horror of knowing what’s going on around her. How would you feel
in this situation? Would you accept the position? Are there any situations in
history similar to this?
I think it has its ups and downs. Like in the book when Risa
has to see her boyfriend (Connor) be brought to his unwinding. The you live
longer topic is an up and a down. It depends do you want to be unwound and get
it over with or take your time. But if you wait things like clappers could
happen and you could live your life. It’s good that she is doing what she loves
before she dies so that is an up. I would accept the position to live longer
and plot and escape. I don’t think this is like anything else in the book
because there is never so much mass death when you’re playing happy.
