1. Why do you think the author titled her essay “Entropy” instead of a more common title like “disorder”? How does Cole capture the reader’s interest with such a scientific concept as entropy?
2. At which point in the essay does the author focus on what really concerns her the most about the concept of entropy? Is the timing of the focus justified strategically? Explain your answer.
3. What is the thesis of the essay and where is it stated? What does the thesis accomplish for the reader?
4. Do you agree or disagree with the author’s view (see paragraph 14) that entropy wins because there are so many more paths toward disorder than toward order? Cite examples from your own experience to support or challenge her argument.
5. As you analyze your life style, which kind of person do you tend to be-orderly or disorderly? How has your sense of order affected the way you see yourself? What changes, if any, would you like to make in the way you deal with the order or chaos around you?
