1. Apply Sunstein's idea that conspiracy theories are "self-sealing" to a conspiracy theory that is circulating right now.

2. Bodily Harm presents a number of memorable horrors--so much so that I almost didn't use it for this course. Consider the effect reading about this kind of horror has upon you. One might say, that the horrors make Rennie feel that her own problems: breast cancer, Jake, the man with the rope, Daniel, etc., become small compared with the problems she sees in St. Antoine. Does anything of that kind happen to us as readers?
