ReplyDelete2. It is against his believe of religious and the law, to write anything
ReplyDelete3. He refers to we because there is no I in his time. He said " we are one in all and all in one there are no men but only the great WE, one, indivisible
I agree He never says I or You always we.
DeleteYou are very right, Southall!
Delete2. It is a sin to write when it is not your job to. He is also writing things that should not be written.
ReplyDelete4. Yes I would because I like how he is different from everyone else in Anthem. Anthem is boring because everyone does the same thing every day. I also like how he likes to discover new things whenever he can.
I agree with you on number 4. I would also want to be friends with him because he is different from everyone else in Anthem
DeleteI agree with you and what riley had said about it. I wouldn't want to be friends with the other boring people I like to stand out not fit in.
DeleteI, also, agree with what Riley said about Alyssa's comment for number 4. I like having friends that are different, because I am a very different idvidual. I hate being like other individuals.
Deletei agree with everyones comments on this i like to stand out but fit in at the same time.

I agree with 4. He indeed is very unique and would be a pretty awesome friend because he is different.
Delete2. Equality is committing a crime because you cannot speak your mind as an individual. There is no I, only we.
ReplyDelete3. Equality refers to himself as "We" because they do not know what "I" is. They cannot be individuals. They are always together, never alone.
I agree with you on answer 2. The council has completely take "I" out of their vocabulary.
Delete2. Euality is committing a sin when writes becaue the Council of Vocations have to tell him he can. They did not tell him he could write.
ReplyDelete3. Equality refered to himself as "We" because individualism isn't aloud. They do not know what "I" is. They are one in all and all in one.
3. he cant be independent. there is more people then jst him. so there for he wants to involve everyone.

4. Yes, I would because everything is different for him. He is his own unique person.
ReplyDelete2. It is a sin to write, but if it ist your job that you are assigned to you may write. Equality writes things that he shouldn't have. He is going against his religion by writing.
I like your answer to number 4 Kylee. He is his own unique person and is really not all afraid to show it.
DeleteI agree with that statement because he is unique
Delete3.The word 'I" has disappeared from the language. Everyone is to be equal to one another.

ReplyDelete4 yes because he stands up for wats right
3. Nobody is aloud to be independent. They are not aloud to consider themselves as "I". They cant be individuals in their time.
ReplyDelete4. I would like to be friends with him because he doesn't like to take credit for things. He is very different than everyone else in Anthem. He gives everyone else credit or takes the blame for his friends.

ReplyDelete3. equality is considers himself as we because they cant say i. an everyone is one.
3. He can't say I because it's not a word anymore. He is part of a society that don't think themselfs as an individuals but as a group. His governments controls everyone.

ReplyDelete4. Yes I would be because i like how he is different from the other people from Anthem. He is also very unique in his own way. He would fit with me.
3) In this story the town/city that the people live in they are all treated the same as the people they are placed with. They are not able to think as one person only as a whole, they aren't able to use words such as I, me , or one .
ReplyDelete5)Equality was much bigger then his brothers ( not really brothers ). He was more of a thinker and understood the science of things .
3. He refers to himself as we to replace I because they all want to be together.
ReplyDelete4. Yes, because I want to be friends with unique people and not people who act like the others around them.
