They’ve shown great potential in achieving new things. No one is quite like these four. In fact‚ they were the building blocks of their society. Despite their unique distinctions they are somewhat alike. Prometheus and Gaea‚ characters in the book Anthem‚ fought through the struggle to gain singular knowledge and individuality. Prometheus devoted his life for a chance at having individual intelligence‚ in a place where everyone is looked upon as a whole‚ nothing more‚ nothing less. In spite of the

Some common themes that Chrysanthemum deals with are overcoming differences‚ bullying in school‚ and self-esteem issues.

Wilfred Owen’s Anthem for a Doomed Youth is exactly that‚ an anthem ( a solemn song) to commemorate the innocent youth‚ whose lives were taken to soon by war.

Written in sonnet form‚ it is
