Anthem’s Constitution The Preamble We, the Society will form an order of how the society will stay and think as one. As we choose the steps of the future, we ask that we all accomplish what we are assigned to do. The future, we plan for. The present, we live for, and the past we will never speak of. We all have a job to do, and as we achieve them, we need to learn our ways there and back. Forget the past, and look forward to the future.

In Ayn Rand's Anthem and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four it shows how ignorance can be more or just as powerful as knowledge. In Anthem it shows exactly how powerful knowledge can be. On the other hand, in Nineteen Eighty-Four it shows how sometimes it doesn’t matter how much knowledge is known, rather how ignorant you choose to be.

“What is not thought by all men cannot be true” is the common belief in the totalitarian world of Anthem (73). In this post-apocalyptic and altruistic society people can only exists through the service to their brothers, and individual thoughts and actions are shunned upon. Equality 2-72521 is brilliant, using technologies he found from before the “great rebirth” to formulate new conclusions about the virtually unexplored world of his time. With individualism shunned, personal thought is prohibited as well. Idiosyncrasy of anyone is looked upon as evil because it is different from other brother men, so people are bred to be and think the same. Science and technology are advanced upon with the thought of individuals coming up with new hypothesis

In the novella Anthem all the brothers are seen to be equal. They all grow up together

No one was supposed to perish that night. He did not wish to perform his job, but the decisions of those that expire shall always repeat. He was stuck. He moved through town, piercing through the foggy streets of town, heading as slowly as possible for the inevitable destination, just outside of town where he should wait. They would come to him, sooner or later. They always did.The calm closed around him, moving from those that chose their fate, hearing their echos seemingly drown away in the mist. He was not needed here, he would see them soon

Another part of this is at the end of the story when he does not believe in him anymore and his is the quote that i have got for when his dad has passed away that it says that ‘ “there were no more prayers at his grave no candles that were lit to his memory his last word was my name” (wiesel 106) as this continues on he does not believe in him anymore.

Anthem was written in 1961. The book is set in the future in a dystopia where all technology has digressed. The most recent inventions of the protagonist's time is the candle and glass window. The government has complete control and citizens have absolutely zero freedom. Nobody, not even the government, is allowed to say the word “I”; not many people even know that the word exists. Instead, citizens use the word “we” because of an ancient stone with these words engraved on it: “We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever” (Rand 19). The government, or high council, put many rules into place. For example, men can not talk to women, everyone has to agree on everything, and walking somewhere without a purpose is outlawed.

Anthem depicts a world of the future, a collectivist dictatorship in which there is no individualism

Anthem overall was a good book it caught my attention. In Anthem the younger people are the ones that are curious about everything that was the past that is hidden and everything that isn't or hasn't yet been discovered. The maze Runner is a good relation to anthem because of the kids being the ones to explore and want to know about everything. Every adult i've ever met has always tried to tell me what to do. The reason young people are attracted to dystopian style books is because they feel that they know more than the adults think they do.
