Scythe

Two young people have to learn the art of murder in the fearsome new series, the first book by Neil Schusterman, the bestselling author of the New York Times.

In the world where disease is eradicated, the only way to die is by random killing ("gathering") by a professional reaper ("sickle"). They are irrelevant to occupation, but they have to learn every way to end their life and understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as an apprentice. When it is clear that the main job of winning an apprentice is to gather losers, Citra and Rowan fight each other in a struggle for life.

The following questions can be used through Scythe's research as a subject of discussion and reflection, or as a hint of reflective writing.

In Sais, the two main characters (Rowan and Citra) were recruited to become his apprentice by his wise and empathic Size. They eventually caught up in the heart of Sais' political conflict, and between the old guards who believed their work is a regrettable and compassionate regrettable act and a new order. We deal with death. Thunderhead keeps on this confrontation and can not say that this is not spoilers. This is a garbage part of the sequel to the review.

POPGr 9 has been a year since Scythe and Scythe Anastasia 's events (formerly known as Citra Terranova) lived with her mentor Scythe Marie Curie. The way to collect is to be killed. Anastasia believes that this approach is more humanitarian and she believes that they represent their work with dignity and humility rather than joy and pride like the "new world" "Same as a sickle.Nevertheless she could not remove a bite surrounding Rowan Damisch, her disciple whose current name is Sissy Lucifer He is looking for a corrupt sickle as a policeman, Is dead. The domination of the world is Thunderhead, knowledgeable artificial intelligence, but since it has no jurisdiction over Scythedom, measures to stop Rowan have not been taken.

(Almost) omnipotent and (almost) intelligent artificial intelligence In the world operated by Thunderhead, only respected Scythes brings permanent death to nearly immortal humans. However, it has proved to be feared by society and active outside the range of thunder and that more and more sickles are very unpleasant. His disciples saw a sickle struggle for their companionship and prestige, 18-year-old citrus terra nova and Rowan Damisch no longer realize "... a high school murder with scythedom". Citra recalls Scythe Anastasia, not only doubts the current situation, it also opposes the "new order" and the murderous enthusiasm for its dangerous incendiators. Call himself Sais Lucifer and Rowan hunts other Sai tais who believe he is corrupt. At the same time, the problematic Thunderhead pledged doubt on its role as human creation and security guards, swearing that it would not take away life, but otherwise the utopia falls into dyspea I was worried about it.
