    Did you read the Anthem? If so what what went on inside of your head when you thought of what went on inside of Equality’s head? Here is what I thought. Equality’s invention, the lightbulb, would benefit mankind greatly. But this was not his intent when experimenting in his cramped tunnel.

    Upon beginning Ayn Rand’s novel Anthem, the reader will immediately notice one thing: the point of view. Anthem is written in first person point of view, which sets it apart from Rand’s other novels such as The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, both written in third person. Furthermore, it is written in first person plural, a point of view that is unusual considering that the narrator, the protagonist called Equality 7-2521, is referring to himself. This use of first person plural pronouns while…

    “‘What is not done collectively cannot be good,’ said International 1-5537.” This quote supports that their society is based upon collectivism and anything that is not done that way is bad and cannot be used. Equality’s invention, for example, was made by him alone and because of this, the Council of Scholars thought it must be destroyed because it was not made by everyone. This is a big hurdle to jump over for anyone in the society who wants to create anything new. If a…

    but no one knew how to change the world the first time. Estrem references Thomas Edison, who states, “I didn 't fail 1,000 times. The lightbulb was an invention with 1,000 steps” ( Estrem 2). Failure is the key to success. Children have to learn from their mistakes, not be signed to unwinding. If children like Thomas Edison were unwound, who knows when the lightbulb would have been invented. In Unwind, if Connor had been unwound, he never would have went on to do something great. Connor took…
