Anthem and The Maze Runner are both dystopian society based books that teens like to read because they can relate to them and they like how twisted they are. The book “Anthem” by Ayn Rand is a dystopian society in which everything is controlled. There are different levels of society, and the council of vocation chooses the job that will best suite you and the community. The city in the book goes by many strict rules and most have a punishment for breaking them, but there in only one law punishable

In the book Anthem, there are many sins, as well as transgressions. There is a transgression of preference, of being alone, of thinking alone, of writing, and even of disobedience. In this essay, I will talk about why I feel this society is corrupt as well as how I believe Equality 7-2521 has come to the same conclusion and why he doesn't care about his transgressions. I will also talk about how I think Equality 7-2521 realizes the importance of the written word. And lastly, I will talk about how

Even though I tend to like the gory nature of a gruesome death, I don’t favor Dillard’s piece over Woolf’s. I ask myself why that is? Why do I prefer Virginia Woolf’s The Death of the Moth to Annie Dillard’s The Death of a Moth? The answer I conclude, is that I have biographical knowledge of one over the other. The personal background on Woolf allows me to better understand the writer and, thus, the possible meaning of the piece. I will read and interpret what I believe a piece is about, but I like

The Hunger Games and Anthem by Ayn Rand and the similarity and comparison. In both relating in propaganda used to control citizen, of how the government and the society in a way of how they treat the people in the society. Having restriction and no free will and having to follow rules. In the characters are the one of showing how they could change the society, but the reasons are being watched and obeying rules. In comparison with the two stories and being under the government and the “World Society

In the book Anthem, by Ayn Rand, Equality 7-2521 has been placed in a collectivist dystopia and escapes from it. The book starts off by Equality 7-2521, mentioning that “It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words that no others think, and to put them down upon paper no others are to see.”, showing that in his society, doing a task, that we, as people who grew up in a society that encourages such behavior, find to be a normal part of life, whereas in Equality 7-2521’s society would find

Anthem 2-Chunk Schaffer In the book, Anthem, there are two central societies that Equality experiences; both societies can be represented a song. “Paint it, Black” by The Rolling Stones can represent the overall feeling of the first society that is controlling and wants everything to be the same; it is apparent when Equality is in the home of the students and all of the students and teachers are reciting, “‘We are nothing. Mankind is all’” (Rand, 21). The song “Paint it, Black” explains how the

In the short story Anthem the nameless society described by Ayn Rand is filled with rules and controls. They exist to do exactly that control and rule. “We are all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever”(Rand 19). The purpose of this society is one of perfect unity, a society in which all efforts are a combination of one mind and one person. There are no “people” in this society, there is only one person. The rules are there to keep the individuals clueless

In the novel “Anthem” by Ayn Rand, the main character, Equality 2521, proves his worth, but gets a different reaction than he was hoping for. Is it a dystopia? A dystopia has many definitions, as some believe it’s a society where everything is simply wrong, others believe it’s a society defined by human misery. What is known for sure is, the characteristics of a dystopia are overall close to the same, and Anthem meets most of those characteristics. Notably, in Anthem, it is shown plenty of

What would it be like in a world full of honesty and purity, in a place where each person is treated as an equal? It could be either a utopia are it could just as easily be a deception filled dystopia. Anthem is an amazing example of this dystopia. Ayn Rand wrote Anthem during World War two. It symbolizes the struggle she had as a Russian in America during this costly war. Rand could never know the power hidden behind the words in her books and the amount of inspiration among the pages. In this novel

The hero of Anthem is Equality 7-2521 and Fahrenheit 451’s hero is Guy Montag. Equality is struggling for human uniqueness, the ability to think, live, and love on one's own terms. It's conflicting to Equality because he feels trapped by the confinements of the Council’s laws, but he still follows rules obediently, while the others do it gratuitously. An example of wanting to remain in his society is when he asks forgiveness even though he knows what he's done is a transgression “The law says that
