When the narrator of The Road to Ein Harod discovers that a military coup has taken place in his country and that anyone who is against the coup is being brought together or killed, he leaves Tel Aviv hoping that he can make it to a place called Ein Harod. A utopian kibbutz in which democracy and resistance is still alive and a place where he can be with his family and finally be happy. The narrator’s journey to Ein Harod is not an easy one, though. For instance, it is filled with many different kinds of horrifying crimes. When the narrator finally arrives at Ein Harod, he finds out that it does not exist. All he sees is evidence of the natural world, such as trees, grass, and animals. It is also interesting to him that there are no signs that

    In this passage, it's basically a psyofrantic person point of view. Because the person hears people telling him stuff. For Example, "I know that I felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line. I had stepped out of my body-I could see my body asleep in front of the cold fire, but it was not I."(Paragraph 4)…

    Ayn Rand is known for her liberalist writings and very compelling works of fiction that border along being something of an attempted prophecy, specifically in the case of Anthem. While we may not have direct words from the author to prove this, the book gives off this aura as though it were a vision of what the world could become if communism as Rand knew it during her time continued on in the direction it had then been traveling. Perhaps Anthem was written, in contrast, to simply deliver a message of self-worth and independence to a new extreme. Her new arrival to America could have opened her eyes to the way that the world and government had the ability to be; it would have been a discovery that could have further turned her off the sort of…

    Globalization is perceived as beneficial to our economy and society as a whole, but when further defined by some today; it is not only harmful but fatal to citizens and mainly women of the world. Naomi Klein, in “Fences of Enclosure, Windows of Possibility”, uses the theme of fences to explain how often humanity is obstructed due to globalization. Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn discuss the discrimination women are facing all over the world. As a whole, globalization is harmful to women because in many places it is conceived as turning the world into a global market for goods and services dominated and steered by the powerful corporations and governed by the rule of profit. This gives no consideration to human rights, only selling a…

    “It is a sin to write this.” Equality once thought that when you write anything you become a sinner. As far as how he thinks now about everything, his perspective has changed dramatically. The Great Rebirth made it so everyone is supposed to believe in the same thing and act or look the same way, but Equality decided that he was better than that and decided to go against the status quo everyone else was under. Equality 7-2521's development as a character throughout Anthem can be seen as a progressive move towards the distinctive way of thinking he discovers and presents in the chapters of Anthem.…

    The purpose of Take Back the Night was to promote awareness and support survivors of rape, sexual assault and relationship violence among students and nonstudents. I also think the goal was to unify the community by allowing survivors to open up about incidents of abuse/assault within their lives. I observed the audiences reactions when the audience showed lots of support to the survivors that were telling their stories of assault and abuse. Whenever a survivor would leave the stage the audience would applaud the survivor for being courageous. Also close friends of the survivor would reach out and hug and give words of encouragement to the survivors. Also the men who were in the audience were shocked and in disbelief when they heard some of…
