“What is not thought by all men cannot be true” (Rand 73). In the novella, Anthem by Ayn Rand, it is believed that all men must correspond each other. For instance, all men must have the same ideas and beliefs. If one man believes something that other men don’t, then he is “cursed” and he shall never think the way he did ever again. Of course, new ideas are not tolerated, especially from Street Sweepers. For example, Equality 7-2521 daringly showed their leaders the discovery of a lifetime; the box that held new detections that no one had heard of.

Thus, the society of this novella is built upon collectivism.…

I often did not know how to tackle certain subjects because I was the first in my family to take them. When I began taking advantage of tutoring services, in tutors I found mentors. I realized early that I enjoy tutoring and mentoring students, specifically those who have limited sources like I did. For the past three years, I have been tutoring at a non-profit organization,…

Understanding my learning patterns form dynamic learning relationship is a key element to my view of how and why I process the learning experience, even relating it to every day life.…
