Reading log week 10

1 hour     Anthem    pgs. 17- 51
Details: When Equality is chosen for his job in society as a Street Sweeper, he accepts. But with his intelligence, he decides to conduct his own experiments from his passion for knowledge. HE also meets Liberty 5-300. He gives her a nickname, a forbidden law.
            Equality claims,"We have given you a name in our thoughts, Liberty 5-300.
            "What is our name?"
            "The Golden One."
              I think he gave her this name because of her golden hair and her own individuality. HE defies sthe laws however.

1 hour    Anthem   pgs 51- 105
Changes over time: In the beginning, Equality only knew to express himself as "we". But now, he know the word "I".
              "This god, this on word:
                  I."
                   IN the future, I think that equality can bring mankind individuality and ego.
