Equality 7-2521

The First chapter of the book, Anthem states,“It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil.” In the collectivist society Equality 7-2521 lives in, there are many rules put into place. In this society all must live as one and one must function as all. Therefore, when Equality 7-2521 goes out on his own, it is seen as a sin and or crime.

“For everything he did he served the Greater Community… worked in a factory and never got fired,” (line 7) the author states this to emphasize that the Unknown Citizen dedicated his life to following the rules and regulations of his job in order to help the society in which he lives. Parsons works in the Ministry of Truth correcting “errors” made in past publications and “was employed in some subordinate post for which intelligence was not required” (Orwell 22). Parsons unquestionably and willingly contributes to destroying the past and hiding the evil of the Party. The Unknown Citizen and Parsons are alike by assisting their leaders’ incessant desire to regulate and control the world in which they

And to earn my love,my brothers must do more than to have been born.”(96)As you can see towards the end Equality totally becomes independent from the society and starts to have his own opinions.I think this is a big part of information for Aye Rans message on how you should just care about yourself. In the end of the book,Equality and The Golden One realize how they don 't need society anymore and go to live up in a house in the woods where they can become independent.Then he talks about all he has discovered about himself and how his brothers have to earn his love to be apart of his life and how everybody should not be equal.I think how Aye Ran ends the story is very interesting because she goes over a lot of life messages and her opinions on life.Also I think this message is a huge part of Equality and The golden ones relationship and it changes the outcome of the book a

We knew that men not follow us, for they never entered the uncharted forest. We had nothing to fear from them. Only we wished to be away, away from the city”(Rand 76) This quote is effective since Equality did not care about the society's rules, he wanted to get away and live freely. Therefore this shows defiance due to Equality not obeying the rules in this society, so he escaped for a better life. Harrison and Equality both show similarities in defiance for the reason that they both do what is right in their own mind.

In the book Anthem, by Ayn Rand, it tells about a flawless society where everything is gathered and distributed. Eventually the main character escapes the society and lives on his own with everything he can do himself. Ayn Rand went too far when she made the character completely autonomous. Three reasons that support this claim is how they couldn’t make decisions on their own, the way their life was mapped, and how people interact with each other. In Anthem the society did not have any opinion on anything or how their life would go.

You’ll never know yourself until you be yourself. In Anthem by Ayn Rand Equality says “To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.” This quote means a lot, if you follow your brothers all of your life you won’t get anywhere. If you decide to make your own decisions your life will be so much better. You have to be your own person to do what you want to do and not what your brothers want you to do. How could you want to live in a world where you do everything for mankind and nothing for yourself?

There was no hatred, fear, war, and pain. The society also eliminated choices such as what job an individual will possess and to who one could marry. The society pushed for perfection by rejecting individuals who were born sick or broke their societal rules. Because the society lived in a world of “contentment,” Jonas had no idea of the horrible doings within the world he lived. However, Jonas was given the job as the receiver of memory, which granted him the memory of the previous receiver, known as “the giver.” Those memories were filled with color, sex, music, hatred, and all the other forbidden items of his society.

You know what these things have taught little Jimmy? They have taught him to be a hoarder. He kept all of those participation awards because he could never get a not-nearly-as-important first place medal. Participation medals give people so much to look forward to in life. It opens them up to a whole new world of participation.

Individuality makes a person unique and different from anyone else. Their personality frees them from any ties they have with society. Both of the short stories, ¨The Pedestrian”by Ray Bradbury” and “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut are about the future, and how technology conforms people to be equal. In the article, “The Sociology of Leopard Man" by Logan Feys is about a tattooed man who doesn’t live anywhere near society. As Fey states “Living in society, we are under constant pressure to surrender our individuality, to the will of the majority, the school, the workplace, the family, etc.” Feys’ argument is accurate because conforming into society all the time can hinder one’s individuality, for this takes away a part of who they are.

No freedom, no purpose, no opinion, no choice. All of these thoughts accompany the terrifying concepts of totalitarianism and dictatorship. Every day, we believe that we are safe from falling victim to these forms of reign, but what if we have been placed within one all along without truly knowing the difference? We are aware of power and who may possess it, yet this may not be sufficient for those that seek it. In 1984, George Orwell creates a dystopia where the common people live in conditions set forth by their totalitarian government, known as Big Brother.

He envisioned a world of peace and equality for all. He wanted to change the way India was run. In his ideal state, there would be no representative government, no army, no police force, no industrialization, no religious violence, and a future Indian nation would be modeled after the India in the past. There would be self-sustaining villages, an absence of civil law and it would show an agrarian economy. Gandhi wanted a place where there was no violence, riots, or any civil disobedience.

In the book anthem by Ayn Rand starts off by saying that “Its is a sin to write this.” Why does he start the character by saying these words? in the book the main character is named equality 7-2521 and in his society they have taught him differently than ours. in mentioned in pg 19 “we are one in all and all in one there are no men but only the great we , one, indivisible forever.” The people in equalities society were taught by using the word “we” not I you but ‘We and Us”.their were all in one as brothers that were equal. equality was taught the same as all his brothers he thinks that writing this paper is a sin because as said in the book pg 17 “It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper.” in his society
