elt. They found a house that was left from the Unmentionable times. Inside the house, they found mirrors, light bulbs, and a library. While reading through the books, they found the word I. I would describe the main character, Equality 7-2521, as a hero. His victory was possible by breaking many the rules. He realized from the beginning that he was not like all the other children at the Home of Infants and at the Home of Students. Everything about him was different, he was too tall, too smart, and the way he thought was different. He was made an outcast by this collectivist society because he was different and in a collective world, everyone is supposed to be the same and think alike. This book was intended for anybody who enjoys reading books where you have to think. Mostly older people will like this book better than younger people will. The author's purpose for writing this book is to inform us of what it could be like in a country that has nothing. She does a good job of doing this. She tries to scare us so something like this can never happen. This book was very convincing. This is something that could happen in the future if everything we have now is destroyed. Anthem made me think of something I don't ever want to go through. The people in the book lived miserable lives. You could call them slaves because that's the way they were treated. They didn't have their freedom. The climax of Anthem is when Equality finds the underground tunnel. This was my favorite part of the book. This is when the novel started to get good. Anthem really wasn't good until then. The cave is a symbol of freedom because that is where he went to get away from all of his hardships. He could go there and work on his light. I would definitely recommend this book. It took a while for this book to get interesting, but after Equality found the tunnel, it got better. It was full of excitement after that. Ayn Rand is a good author...
