Anthem Ayn Rand met her expectations‚ and along with everyone else. By writing this speculative fiction she has pointed out how people want others to be in the world‚ but in a more dramatic tense. As Thomas Jefferson said‚ ¨All men are created equal¨. They may be created equal when they are born‚ but some strive to do great things while others wait. We are our own individual.
