Extra Credit Film €“ The Imitation Game

This is a reflection paper. In addition to your own comments and observations, address

the following questions:

€¢ Who is Alan Turing?

€¢ What did he do during WWII?

€¢ How many lives did he save?

€¢ Why isn’t he in the history books as a WWII hero?

€¢ What were the obstacles that Turing had to overcome to build his machine?’ What did

this machine do?

€¢ What criminal act was he charged with?

€¢ What is chemical castration and why was this done to Turing?

€¢ In 2013 Queen Elizabeth posthumously pardoned Turing, but not the other thousands of

women and men convicted of his same crime. Is this fair?
