Ayn Rand Essay Topic #2 In the novella “Anthem” there are many rules and controls among the citizens of the city. Equality 7-2521 tends not to follow them very well and because of this Equality 7-2521 feels that he is different and that he’s in the wrong. This is an effect of the way he was taught and raised upon all these rules and laws he’s never supposed to break yet, he tends to break them anyways. I feel these laws and controls are in place to keep anyone from thinking and acting in ways that make you different from the others.
In the book Anthem, we learn that people live in a collectivist society where they are the great We and the only We. This kind of society oppresses man’s inborn thirst for knowledge and creativity, although one character still possesses the want for knowledge. Equality 7-2521 is the man cursed with the nature to want to know more, even though he is lashed he still persists on his quest for knowledge. What is Equality’s motivation if not for joy, and it is not for the greater good for mankind? The simple answer may be curiosity, for no punishment could change him from wanting to know. Equality is motivated for multiple reasons, one being curiosity, the desire to create something to call his own, and to be part of the council of scholars.

Page four in chapter one, while setting up the background for Candide, Voltaire includes an educational and philosophical speech by Pangloss in which he ends by stating, “...all is for the best.” This direct quote continues to influence Candide throughout his quest. This quote initiates an optimistic attitude in Candide which will encourage him throughout his adventures.
I believe that the theme of The Outsiders is that: “Not everybody is like what you think they are”. This is proven to be true because of these next three paragraphs show how.
This picture best reflects this quote because like the fly is frozen in amber for all of time, Miss Emily is frozen in the townspeople’s memories for all of time. Both will retain their full appearance, never more, never less than exactly what you see. As the fly is flattened down in amber to be looked upon by others but never to be heard, Ms. Emily is flattened down image that never truly ever takes on a life-like quality but remains a preserved relic of the town through their memories of her. The townspeople like telling about Emily’s story, but never really engage with the person. They like pitying her as a duty upon the town.
