ROAR POST #2 & LAST ONE
Summary:
Two years ago Equality 7-2521 made a discovery while cutting open a dead frog. Even though the frog was dead it would move reason being because the frog was hanged on a wire of copper and when the metal knife cut through Equality 7-2521 made a discovery that goes against all laws. Metal draws in the sky, lightning, etc but can also give back. They made it, a glass box that gives forth the power of the sky of greater strength than the whole town believed. They made light from metal. Equality 7-2521 wants to present their discovery to the World Councils because they might even give them a higher rank from sweepers to the house of the scholars. Equality 7-2521 have not been writing for 30 days, reason being is because they got caught. It was a night where they were out longer than necessary. The house council demanded to know where they were and Equality 7-2521 said they will not tell. That made them be taken to corrective detention. They escaped 30 days later because they had to show the World Council their discovery. It didn't turn out as they wanted it. Equality 7-2521 had been insulted and said he did not have a good thing. He was going to be sent to the palace of corrective detention, so Equality 7-2521 escaped and ran for his life and ended in the uncharted forest. The Golden One followed them all the way to the forest and confessed their love. Now they love each other. They found a house, something from the unmentionable times and they live there. Equality 7-2521 read books and saw what "we" meant and he then after referred himself to "I".
Quotation:
Equality 7-2521 said "The word which can never die on this earth, for it its the heart of it and the meaning and the glory. The sacred word: EGO" (Rand 105).
Reaction:
When Equality 7-2521 said this it came to mind of the meaning of Ego. It means self, they way you are, it means "I". Equality all along has been trying to see why he never fit in why he never thought the way his brothers did. In the end the answer to it was that he was put under a category and reading the books opened his eyes to reality that he is one.

ROAR POST #1 :) .
Summary:
To cope living under the rules of government and not individual freedom. To do things of our generation in their time is forbidden but Equality 7-2521 doesn't follow what is required to be met. No one is allowed to write , love a brother more than another, everyone is supposed to be against evil. Jail is a palace of corrective detention. A palace ? Yes, what irony. To identify people they have a bracelet with a number on it. To begin with Equality 7-2521 does not fit the norm. You have to be of average height, 5'5" and they are 6 ft tall. They were born with a curse that makes them think thoughts that are forbidden, Equality 7-2521 characterizes themselves as evil but do not know how to impede it. Equality 7-2521 portrays a human living in our generation but put into a different environment with different set of rules. In this place you are assigned what occupation you will be fulfilling. Equality 7-2521 ended up being a street sweeper. While working Equality 7-2521 he discovers an old iron grill. over a black hole. It was forbidden to not follow the rules but they broke them anyways, they entered into the black hole and they saw that it was a tunnel built in the unmentionable times. The unmentionable times is our generation. Being under ground they discovered so much, they discovered acids and how to melt metals things they were never taught. Every one has a soul mate and Equality 7-2521 is in love with Liberty 5-3000. Men and women in this society are separated and they can only mate when it is "time of mating" but even that is arranged. Equality named Liberty the Golden One.
Quotation:
"Rather shall we be evil with you than good with all our brothers" (Rand 34).
Reflection:
The reason i chose that quote was because just reading a few of these pages it has come to my attention that Equality 7-2521 are humans but with our characteristics. Equality said the quote above and he will rather stick with one group that to try to fit in with the rest. Many of us try to find ways to fit in when we just need to stand out. Equality also portrays human characteristics of this generation because he falls in love and has favorism to certai groups.
