There are rules and laws in this book that takes away the freedom of one of the characters. The character goes by the name of Equality 7-2521. Equality is trapped in a world with his

For many years, the fight for equality has either brought peace and unity or hatred. One of the greatest events that happened in the United States was The March on Selma better known as “Bloody Sunday”. What started as a peaceful protest, turned into turmoil.
