Unwholly Connections 11

Explain any connections you can make to the real world. Make the contextual connection.

One connection to the real world is organ donor. In the real world, you are able to donate your organs, some of them when you're alive, and most of them when you're dead. In Unwholly, you can be "Unwound" and have every single part of you be donated in some way. There is also a black market for organs in the book and in real life. "The girl's hair isn't quite red, as Divan requested, but it could be strawberry blond in a certain light" (164). Just like in the book, people can request specific traits (like blood type) of the organs that are taken on the black market.
