A.I. - Artificial identities
In the first part of this second unit, we will be looking at two stories: the first one is fictional, of a family that assumes the identity and belongings of a deceased couple and tries to keep that charade going for as long as the world will allow, and the second is a true story of a man who assumes many identities (and professions) over a fairly short period of time until he is caught by the law. In both cases, we are exploring the characters, their motivations, and why they turned to fiction to make their reality work.
