The narrator’s description of the garden is a representation of mankind. Chance’s garden and his care for it is, in my interpretation, God or someone who cares for us. Helping us grow, and strive to the best we can be. When we are sick they give us medicine when we are in pain they heal us, and we are down they encourage us, just like chance did this with the plants. From the beginning to end he cared from the garden just like God or our parents or loved ones do. When it comes to Rand’s…

The thought of independence did not delight them, nor did it ever come to their mind. Everyone was so into the idea of using “We” instead of “I”, therefore, avoiding individualism. In Chapter 11, the first line includes: “I am. I think. I will.” (Rand, 1961, pg. 94) This is the exact moment when Equality…

is to keep a perfect society in check. “It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own.” (Rand 17) A rule is that you can not write your thoughts or words others do not think down on paper for no one to see.

Director D.W. Griffith employs a variety of innovative filmmaking techniques, under the categories of mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing, to tell his narrative in Death’s Marathon. I will focus on a few techniques that stood out to me as essential stylistic decisions that progressed the narrative. Firstly, the costumes and how they distinguished between characters, and events; secondly, the blocking and character movements and how they expressed emotion; thirdly, the lighting and how it…

Ayn Rand’s Anthem is a novella which has many underlying messages. In literature, especially if the piece is fiction, there is generally a theme, or a political message in the text. Readers gain a new perspective, or a moral lesson by reading these works. There are thousands of examples of this in literary tradition, for example, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The work contains multiple themes, including: “Is physicality a necessary component of romance?” , “How can we know if love is true?”…

One of the main themes from the novel Anthem is identity and individuality. In Communist Russia, when the time came to get a job, the government assigned one to you. This is parallel to Anthem. “They called the students’ names, and one after another, the Council said: ‘Carpenter’ or ‘Doctor’ or ‘Cook’ or ‘Leader’.” (Rand, 1961, p.25) Another fact that…
