Question #2

Equality experiences a sense of accomplishment and pride. Why was he excited about his creation? Why is the act of creation so monumental for Equality?

Question #1

Equality 72521 was taught as a child to recite a pledge
which states: "We are nothing. Mankind is all. By the
grace of our brothers are we allowed our lives. We exist
through, by, and for our brothers who are the state. Amen."

What do you think happens to the personality and sense of
individuality in a child when he is taught that he is
"nothing?" How do the people in this story seem to feel
about their lives? How is Equality 72521 different from
the others? Give specific examples.

Welcome to Frosh Thoughts

Welcome to our blog!

The purpose of this blog is to further reflect and discuss the themes, characters, and stories read in class. Each week I will be posting a discussion question based on the novella we are currently reading, Anthem.

You are each responsible for posting an answer to the discussion question. Your answer must be a least two paragraphs. You are then responsible for responding to three of your classmates' postings. At the end of each week, I will review your postings. You will receive a grade for your posting as well as for your three additional responses.

Please note that this blog is for literary discussions and should be considered an extension of class. Proper language and etiquette is expected at all times.

I look forward to our literary blogging :0)
