It is illegal to say “I” because there is only we. The government has stripped the individual of anything that made them special and forces them into a collective hive mind with everyone else. This world of full conformity is from a book named Anthem by Ayn Rand. Anthem was written in 1938 but today the country of North Korea strongly resembles how the citizens in the book act and how their government rules them.

Equality saw Liberty in a different way then he saw any other person. He felt happy with her and would think about her constantly when they were not together.

Fact or Falsehood Hamlet sparks up a certain question that takes hold of the majority of the play; “Was Hamlet truly mad or mad in craft?” I believe he knew exactly what he was doing in order to obtain the information he was after. Mental illness runs all throughout Hamlet which is interesting because it just suddenly happens right after the deaths of some of the characters. In Hamlet we question whether he is faking his madness throughout the play and how it relates to real world events in today’s

During the fast tempo‚ the string instruments were what really
