  2. In David Henson’s The Deeper Why:

    1. What logical error does Ralph Hawkins make in his search for “why”?
    2. In what way is Ralph’s quest for causality actually an emotional avoidance strategy?
  3. In N. G. Leonetti’s Everything Is Alt-Right: In view of Georgia’s belief system, is her revulsion at Donna’s death plausible? Is it plausible that Georgia would feel responsibility for Donna’s death to the point of homicidal reprisal and suicidal remorse? What would be her more likely response?

  4. H. Roth-Brown, The Last Ones the Light Will Touch: (Bonus question) How does the story’s viewpoint and conclusion differ from those in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles?
