Constantly being told how to feel, think, and live can create a world of rebellion as people fight for their rights and beliefs. Equality 7-2521 is proof of the fight that happens in one’s mind and how it is often translated into a conflict with others of different morality. Since the society Equality 7-2521 lived in had a more “popular” morality than the one he created, he was seen as an outcast and never fit in with his brothers. Leaving everything he knew, Equality 7-2521 risked his life to be different from others and was finally able to feel emotions that were trapped in him. He lived with confliction throughout his life trying to understand the morals he was unknowingly creating for himself, but in the end fought for a cause that meant something to him and impacted his world

Both Elie and the mother help to prove a common theme between the two passages.

By looking past our differences, such as race, class, and gender, we can then form a connection among each other and rely less on adhering to comparing and ranking oppressions. By viewing oppression as a fight between domination and subordination, we can then lessen the impact in which race, class, and gender play, and focus on the inequality between the two structural bases. Changing our view on oppression is important, but we also need to change our view of people.
