Anthem

Do you ever get tired of doing what people tell you? Don't you want to decide for yourself? Equality 7-2521 did.

In Ayn Rand's novel ,Anthem, she creates a world that demolishes the individual, where everything is about, for, and because of WE. Everything they do is for their brothers. There is no love, no hope, and no free will.

But Equality 7-2521 couldn't think that way. He was "cursed". He had committed transgression after transgression, and the only things he cared about are his light and the "Golden One".

So what do you do when don't fit in and are hoping against hope?
