How Does Equality 7-2521 Change His Mind

After a couple of weeks, he has successfully built a light bulb by using the materials he had found in the tunnel. He decides that he wants to share his invention with the World Council of Scholars when they meet in his city. During that time, Equality 7-2521 meets Liberty 5-3000 or as he likes to say the “Golden One.” He speaks with her even though its completely wrong and they end up falling in love. What he’s doing is so dangerous, but he can’t stop himself from falling in love with her. One night Equality 7-2521 comes home late to the Home of the Street Sweepers, where he lives. When he refuses to cooperate and tell his Home Council, where he has been, he is thrown into the Palace of Corrective Detention. Even though he gets tortured, he still refuses to cooperate, because he wants to keep the light bulb a secret until he gets to show it. He remains in detention until he decided to break out and go to the World Council of Scholars. Equality 7-2521 arrives and tells them about his invention, but they reject his invention out of fear. Their whole lives they’ve been using candle lights and now he comes to show them his idea and they're scared. They want to destroy the light bulb and Equality 7-2521. He escapes with his invention into the Uncharted Forest. The major conflict in the story is Equality 7-2521 against the rest of his society. He struggles to identify himself and be free in a society which rejects the complete thought of individualism. The

All his life he had been told that it “is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick. It is not good to be different from our brothers, but it is evil to be superior to them” (21). The Teachers made Equality believe that everything he did was wrong, and because they were appointed by the Councils, he believed them to be correct. The appointing of all things by the Councils relates to the Supreme Court. This situation relates to the moral sin in society. Everything is controlled. When Equality turned fifteen, the Council of Vocations appointed him the job of a “Street Sweeper”; it pleased him. This happiness did not last because he was unsatisfied. He always craved more, and one day, a gift was given. Equality 7-2521, with fellow Street Sweeper International 4-8818, uncovered an underground tunnel that was used for subways during the Unmentionable Times, which gave Equality hope. This underground tunnel became everything to Equality because it gave him peace, and it became the one of the many reasons why he was able to break free from being controlled by the leaders of his time of the Great

As he moves forward in his measures in the underground tunnel, Equality 7-2521 uncovers light in the glass box. For the first time, he is not afraid of his misbehavior against society, the box of light mattered, his findings is critical; he is important, and for the first time, Equality 7-2521 feels happiness. Nevertheless, the World Council of Scholars does not feel the same, “How dared you, Gutter Cleaner to hold yourself as one alone and with thoughts of the one and not of the many?” (Rand 72). As Equality 7-2521 perceives these words, he makes his most valuable discovery, successful community is not one of collectivism, but individuality. As he makes this analysis, Equality 7-2521 discontinues from the allegiance and is frightened as he runs to the Uncharted Forest, but as the days go on he turns into being unfearful, for he can do as he chooses when he wants. Soon Liberty 5-3000 meets him and the two go on to getting a house together. When Equality 7-2521 and Liberty 5-3000 find their house, and the books, he starts to interpret about Prometheus, who brings light when there is

Nowadays, individuality is perched on top of the highest pedestal. There's nothing that compares with the ability to stand apart from each other and no one dares take that away. But in Ayn Rand’s novella called Anthem, it is the complete opposite; there are numerous Councils who are in charge of everything for the people. Some of the things include, what jobs and what future people have and also they regulate intelligence and inventions. Equality 7-2521, later renamed Prometheus, is a member of this dystopian society; he isn't at all similar to his brothers. This, leads to his urge to break away from them. The Council and the society damn him because of his actions and brain, but after his escape, he realizes this damnation is hilarious because they are the damned, not him.

When Equality 7-2521 begins the novel by saying, “It is a sin to write this.” he has a different moral assessment of writing than at the end of the novel. Throughout Anthem, Equality’s actions affect how he views his society and the people around him. By the end of the story, Equality begins to realize that the government and society that he lives in might not be so perfect, and it might not be a sin to write. Equality’s eventual moral assessments of his sins are correct and are supported by; his growth throughout the story, the themes of independence developed in the novel and Ayn Rand’s concepts concerning communism. These are the three ideas that will be developed and explained in this paper.

When Equality 7-2521 is assigned the job of a street sweeper, he replies to the council that, "The will of our brothers be done.” (Rand, 26) Equality 7-2521 wanted to be a scholar, but accepts the assignment of a street sweeper because he is still contributing to the group. In this society, even being genetically unique is considered selfish for standing out. "This is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick.” (Rand, 20) Just because Equality 7-2521 is smarter than his fellow men, he is looked down upon. He is scorned for being tall as well, which shows the irrational view this society has towards

By the end of the story, Equality 7-2521 has changed his mind and become very critical of the leaders of his society, denouncing them in moral terms. Do you think he is correct to do so? Why or why not? Do you think he would agree with the advice that Rand offers in her short essay “How Does One Lead a Rational Life in an Irrational Society?”? Explain.

After starting a career with H&R Block back in 1988 as well as working with tax professionals all over the United States including Puerto Rico, many tax professionals are very passionate individuals. Leadership roles are the social glue that holds a district together. Since leaders in this role are responsible for reaching the organizational goals this position has the most influence over employees that touch the client first hand (Arnold, Connelly, Walsh, & Martin Ginis, 2015). Tax professional retention is important to the organization due to various reasons. The main two are knowledge and client retention.

One day when Equality 7-2521 was studying in their tunnel they lost track of time and they didn't notice that the sand jar which they measured their time with had run out. When they returned to the House of Sweepers they were questioned of where they had been, and they wouldn't tell where they had been at the time so they were sent to the House of Detention. They escaped and brought their box to the World Council of Scholars in hopes of being forgiven of their crimes and being accepted with the scholars but the scholars rejected and with that it humiliated them. Equality

Every citizen believes the way they are living is correct and that there is no problem with the society. “This was the only thing which moved, for the lips of the oldest did not move as they said: ‘Street Sweeper’(Anthem)”. Equality 7- 2521 feels differently when he knows that he is extremely smart and is given the job to be a street sweeper. Throughout the story, Equality 7-2521 learns to realize that the society is brain washing every single citizen. “The locks are old on the doors and there are no guards about. There is no reason to have guards, for men have never defied the Councils so far as to escape from whatever place they were ordered to be (Anthem).” Any citizens who were supposed to be locked up would never to attempt to even escape because they knew they would be put to death, however, escaping was easy for Equality

Every single day for more than 2 years equality would escape society for 3 hours a day and he would get to think, study, learn, and write what he has held in for so long. Equality’s brothers didn’t have a strong self-connection. All of Equality’s “brothers” had no energy, happiness, nor creativity (Rand). Unlike Equality they didn’t know who they were as a person, they

In conclusion, Equality 7-2521 has executed a wrongdoing by writing his journal. Equality 7-2521 has traveled far to be able to continue his writing, showing he does not feel safe around others while actively committing this sin. He has also thought on his own and wrote without the Council of Vocations authorization, even though he has been raised to obey the laws. Through these actions, Equality has carried out a great

This novel displays exactly what Ayn Rand’s theory of Objectivism does not support in order to expose the weaknesses of her opponents ways and express the importance of self improvement. She puts forth for the reader the faults of a collective minded society as the leaders and society within Anthem attempt to control mans body and mind. Towards the close of the novel, as Equality 7-2521 discovers the sacred word he also comes to understand the perks of self improvement and striving to advance as an individual. The leaders and society attempt to accomplish the tyrannical end to their dictatorship through their control of mans body and mind by hiding the past and maintaining a collective

I can say, I do agree with you in how you said that back in time we didn’t imagine that women had all these many rights, and this recognition of being everything and a strong figure in our world. It is hard to see how in the ancient era women was know to be a deity figure for many years until our current time we can see a inequality between men and women. I do believed that females need to be treated with respect and be identify as a beautiful figure in every aspect. Meaning that I do believed that women ability to be mother is the most important role.
