Anthem (pgs 68-105 end)

Summary
Equality 7-2521 runs into Collective 0-0009, while he starts questioning them and soon find out that Equality 7-2521 is breaking all the rules. Equality 7-2521 is keeping a close look his box that the council considers useless, they believe it will ruin everything so they declare to destroy it, but Equality 7-2521 ran a got this glass box. Equality 7-2521 walk right in the Uncharted Forest, and knew that the council would not follow not go in there. Equality 7-2521 believe that this was it that he was never going to see anybody from his life he just left, trying to survive on his own. Equality 7-2521 notice their reflection saying that they were more beautiful than their brothers. Writing was the only way for him to speak, and on his second day alone he notice that the Golden One was there. She left once she heard that he was gone. They decided to be together. When the Golden One said "we love you" said that is not what she wanted to say. They found a house that they decided that it was theirs, which Equality 7-2521 call it the house of Unmentionable times. They were able to learn to understand what is going on in the house and they both like it. Finally he knew of the words I, my, mine, and never wanted to use the word we. Then the Golden one decided to say "I love you" and they change their names hers is Gaea, and his is Prometheus. He wanted to start a new history, they had a son and he will teach his son the word I. One day he would fight for the freedom of Man, word that will never die he says is EGO.

Quotation
Towards the end of the book when Prometheus says he will fight for freedom, "shall I fight...For the freedom of Man. For his rights. For his life. For his honor" (Rand 104).

Reaction
As I was reading this book I was surprise that he was able to be accompany by the woman he admire which I was happy. When he says the that day will come I wonder how long will that take and would the people he is trying to fight freedom for want it? It does take one to change something. He shows that he cares about his brothers and all the others that have to left in that society under all that control. He is willing to not stay with his father, but help everyone else get it too. It was strange how he switch from "we" to "I" so quickly I would of thought he would say "we" by accident but he hates that word. From this last section I read from the book I think it is self explanatory because here is a guy who found out something is not right with his society where he lives gets out to start a new life, and then wants to get others on his side.
