Topic: Pick either "Hoops of Steel" (Chapter 10) or "The Devil Himself" (Chapter 11) and do the following:
For "Hoops of Steel":
What do you think happens after "Hoops of Steel" ends? What results do you think they get from their experiment? What are the implications of these results on the existence of souls? What are the implications of this for identity purposes? What if the results were the opposite? Would that change things for you? Why or why not?
For "The Devil Himself":
What do you think happens after the end of "The Devil Himself"? What do you think comes out of the gate? (Here are a few options: another Derek, Jean, some combination of them, some altered version of them, or something entirely different) What are the implications of this for identity purposes? Who is it that appears? What does all of this say about the possibility of our survival after going through something like a transporter? Do you think it would be "you" that comes out of a transporter like the one described? Why or why not?
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
