q1 – (a) The literary theorist John Gardner (whom we did not read) has famously argued that fiction or story-making is “a game played against chaos and death, against entropy”.

– Question 2 (10 points)
Required Reading Question (10 marks)
The following question is about the required reading by Kate Knibbs called “Live Forever: Searching for Death’s Cure”. For Kate Knibbs, The Immortalists are a kind of religion’. She notes that they evangelize, have pseudo-priests, have followers, and congregate in sacred spaces. In what other ways (than those just mentioned above) might we understand anti-aging or immortality-seeking groups, such as the Immortalists, to be religious? [Note: answers that focus on the points mentioned in the first part of the question rather than coming up with different reasons will not receive a passing grade.]
q4 to q12 are attached below. (300-400 words each answer) I will also provide the additional materiall which will help
