1) The Three Identical Strangers , without the mystery aspect of it, would be a documentary about three triplets who found each other in the streets of New York, and it was a beautiful and emotional reunion. This is because, without the mystery, most of the documentary would be about how the triplets found each other. 2) Nancy Segal thinks that the twin study was about social psychology because the book explains that most social workers wanted to keep the twins and triplets together instead of separating them. It was Hoffman and Oppenheim who wanted to separate them to conduct studies. 3) I’d say that a part of the passage does characterize Eddy Galland’s experience of discovering he was one of the three triplets because the passage explains that twins are a human mirror that understands you perfectly. That’s exactly what happened with Eddy and his 2 brothers because they all had very similar likes and dislikes. 4) Natasha Josefowitz thinks that people are upset about the fact that personalities are extremely hereditary, meaning no free will. She says that this would upset people because they would no longer have control over their lives. 5) Twins study Methodological details V Neubauer Study Bouchard et. Al. Study Years when the research took place Roughly 1960s-1980s Roughly 1979-1990s Institutional affiliations Louise Wise Adoption Agency Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research How were the subjects They were triplets in the Monozygotic twins who

selected? agency and were split up into different families. were separated at birth were selected. Were the subjects informed that they were a part of a study? No No Were the subjects of the study physically or emotionally harmed? They were emotionally harmed because they were never able to be brothers together during their childhood. Emotionally harmed because they couldn’t be siblings at a young age. How were the subjects tested, documented, and measured? A person would go to each house of the adopted triplets and take notes on their behavior, what toys they like, and their functional skills. The twins would be measured for their body circumferences and analyzed physically such as their hairlines, etc to see any differences between twins. Was the study longitudinal? Yes Yes 6) One of the triplet’s smiles curls a little higher than his two brothers. This teaches us that the power of genetics is great, however, each person develops their own quirks and different features.

7) When Nancy Segal says that what interests her the most is the twins that have similar bodily habits, she is talking about the similar behavioral traits shown by twins. Twins that have been apart most of their lives, and have similar traits, interest her. 8) Ana ïs Bourdier says that she feels French because that’s where she lived most of her life, in Paris. She also said that she loves salami, which is a staple in France. 9) Jonas had no problem with his gender identity, However, Nicole, ever since the age of two, thought that she was a girl. 10) In the Minnesota twins study, the triplets had very similar smiles, however, one of the triplets had a smile that was slightly more curved at the top. In part 2 of Becoming Nicole, both twins had to get their wisdom teeth removed, there was no denying that biology. However, Nicole’s gender was able to be contemplated and Nicole understood that she didn’t belong in this world as a male. 11) Both Jonas and Nicole, according to Becoming Nicole, had a temper, especially Nicole, who would lash out at her brother over the smallest thing. 12) According to Ana ïs Bourdier in Twinsters, she feels more French than South Korean, but she isn’t denying her South Korean ancestral identity. She just feels more French because that’s where she lived and grew up. Jonas Maines, in the book Becoming Nicole, decided not to transition into a girl because he thought that being a male is what he should be, and that’s how he felt, and that was his gender identity. 13) - Minnesota Study of Twin Reared apart, also known as MISTRA, according to Born Together Reared Apart, was a study of twins that were separated at birth and supports the idea that genetic factors have a large role in the differentiating features of humans such as personality and intellect. This study was done in 1979 and consisted of assessing
