In a well-organized paragraph, describe the society in which Anthem is set. Some areas
to consider are the political structure, technology, social relationships, quality of life, and
education. - ✔✔Anthem is a dystopian society where every aspect of an individuals life
is controlled by the government. For example, the government decides what job you
preform for the rest of your life. Everyones know everything and theres nothing new to
discover. Because it is forbidden to reminisce about the past, the more intelligent people
are often watched with a tight eye so they can not figure out any information about the
past.
Provide at least two character traits for Equality 7-2521 and explain how these traits
make him stand out from his "brothers". - ✔✔Equality 7-2521 is taller than most others
which distinguishes him from the rest of the people. His physical appearance is
different. Also, he is very intelligent and known to ask many questions. While others are
strictly following the rule, he is much more curious.
Despite his differences, the Council of Vocations assigns Equality 7-2521 to be a street
sweeper. Explain whether this is because the Council of Vocations made a mistake, is
incompetent, or has another motive. - ✔✔The Council of Vocations purposely assign
Equality 7-2521 because since the government is aware of his curiosity and differences,
they want to make sure that no one can decipher information about the past. Instead of
giving him a job such as a scholar, a job like street sweeper keeps him occupied and
focused on something else.
What is the setting of the novel - past, present, or future? Provide evidence from the text
to support your answer. - ✔✔The novel takes place in the future due to the fact that it is
mentioned in the novel about "Unmentionable Times", which refers to the past. In the
past their were "wagons which moved without horses" and "lights which burned without
flame".
