Aristotle states that, “a plot is not unified because it is concerned with a single person” (Ch. 6 Unity). A magnitude of things could happen to one person, but they are not all unified. District 9 did not contain events that could have happened to Wikus or Christopher that were irrelevant to the progression of the story or its overall meaning. The writers did not include a five minute long scene of Wikus cleaning an alien gun. This would have been unimportant to the story and wasn’t crucial to Wikus’ character development. District 9’s scenes are aimed at revealing Wikus’ transformation not random events that fail to unify the story.
