This is an entry that I made in my freshman year in response to a book that I read called Anthem. It is definitely one of my favorite and memorable books that I have read yet and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
In this chapter the main characters name was Equality 70-2521. In this reading i discovered they live in a collectivists society throughout their lives. Where thinking or writing what no others think is "base and evil." they meet the only girl they've ever seen named Liberty 5-3000 and discover places from the "Unmentionable Times" from hundreds of years ago. I wonder why they have never seen a girl until up to now when they are older. I also wonder what it means to see a girl now all of a sudden, and what the council will do as his punishment as it is forbidden. I wouldn't be surprised if Equality were to fall in love with Liberty 5-3000, and were to escape in the uncharted forest. What if Equality were to escape with Liberty and find out what the Transgressor knew and died for. I wonder what the consequences would be for that sort of transgression. When the story later progresses, I wonder if Equality finds out what happened to the world before this society came about. I think the character should have the courage to break out of his society and find out the truth.
