Ayn Rand’s Anthem is a rebuttal of collectivism. The ideology of collectivism is heavily criticized in Rand’s novella where the oppression of an individual is summarized in the following statement, “What is not done collectively cannot be good” (Rand 73). Collectivity robs the people of their individuality and uniqueness, attributes that are disregarded in Anthem. The need for everything to be done collectively in order to be beneficial for the society is a fallacy. Reaching a full consensus…

Much of my troubles with Joanne actually begins with Danette. Danette would often come to my office to complain about Joanne. This happened maybe 4 or 5 times. It was always the same thing, Joanne was complaining that she wasn't getting any support staff help, and was critical of Katrina and Alyssa. Danette would basically say that Joanne wouldn't need any support staff help if she wasn't so slow. Eventually it got so bad that on 3/6/15 I approached Burgess for help and explained what was…

waving and the no stars. The reason there were no stars in the picture taken on the moon didn't have stars was because the cameras didn't have enough resolution to see any stars. the flag was waving in outer space where there was no oxygen was because Neil Armstrong had to twist the flag into the layer of the moon to make sure the flag would stay. Newton's first law is what goes in motion stays in motion unless an outside force stops it. Which there was no outside force to stop it because there…

For this Quarter, I viewed the Deerfield Honors Band Recital on the eleventh of this month. It was a great concert that featured many soloists and groups that played some jazz pieces and marches. I heard a lot of great music and I learned a lot at the recital. The first piece I enjoyed was Fly Me to the Moon. It was performed by Zachary Klein on drums who was accompanied by Alexander Ambrose. It was written by Bart Howard in 1954 but was made famous by Frank Sinatra a decade later. Frank…

In the story of Anthem, by Ayn Rand, The theme is pushing toward, people shouldn't fear the unknown but look towards it for hope. She uses fear to shape the society into a dystopia, because people blindly obey and if they fail, they are punished which gives them something to fear. Which is why she is pushing the idea that people shouldn’t have to fear the things outside of their territory but instead look to it for something new. Rand wants people to understand that people have always been…
