  1. Wednesday, November 30th • Materials: Notes from yesterday, pen/pencil, copy of “Anthem” • Bellwork: Answer the following question on a sticky note with your name: In “Texas v. Johnson Majority Option,” Judge William J. Brennan made the argument that burning of the flag must stay legal. Which of the following statements from the text best supports this opinion? • “Burning of the flag is indeed disrespectful.” • “One man’s actions will not change the opinion of an entire nation.” • “Physical mistreatment of the flag will lead to ‘serious offense.’” • “Burning of the American flag is an act having a high likelihood to cause a breach of the peace.” • “The Government may criminally punish a person for burning a flag by a means of political protest.”

  2. How is the idea of collectivism shown in Ayn Rand’s novel, Anthem? Use evidence to support your answer. How does the tone in Ayn Rand’s Anthem support/oppose the idea of collectivism? Anthem By Ayn Rand Chapter 1 Rules: No “I”, “He”, “She” No names

  3. Guided Questions • Finish reading Chapter 2 on your own. • Be prepared to discuss the following questions: • Think about the relationship between Equality 7-2521 and Liberty 5-3000; what does the relationship reveal about each character? • What does this chapter suggest about gender roles?

  4. Chapters 3-4 • Why is Equality frustrated with the Council of Scholars beliefs? • Why does Equality fight against them? • What name does Liberty 5-3000 choose for Equality? Why is it appropriate? • When Liberty 5-3000 brings water to Equality and he drinks it, what emotion is he feeling? Why doesn’t he understand what he’s feeling?

  5. Chapters 5-6 • Describe the emotion that Equality is feeling at the beginning of Chapter 5. • Discuss Equality’s main motivation for creating his new invention. • Discuss why Equality is so interested in seeing his own image at this point in the novel. Discuss the emotion he is feeling. • What does Equality expect will happen if he shows his discovery to the Council? • Discuss why the Prisoners never think to escape from the palace of corrective detentions.

  6. Chapter 7 What are the four (4) reasons why the council rejects Equality’s invention. What are the real reasons behind the rejection and the fear of the gift? What is meant by Equality’s statement, “We are old now, but we are young this morning” (pg. 68).

  7. Chapter 8-9 What is Equality experiencing for the first time this morning? How does he feel as a result of this experience? How do you know? Use evidence to support your statement. Why does Equality laugh when he realizes he is the damned? What does the Uncharted Forest symbolize in Anthem? Does Equality have to worry about being followed by the others? Explain. Equality questions the morality of his former society. Contrast what he was previously taught about solitude, good, evil, and joy to what he now believes.

  8. Chapter 10-11 Describe the house and its contents, and explain why Liberty and Equality find it so strange and unique. What great discovery does Equality make in this chapter? Explain what the following quotes mean in your own words and discuss how they can be applied to your life: a. “Whatever the road I take, the guiding star is within me” b. “For the word “we” must never be spoken, save by one’s choice and as second thought” What does Equality now realize is the proper goal and purpose of his life? In what ways is “I” like a God? Explain. Re-read the incident with the story of the pyre (pg. 50). What was he trying to communicate with Equality?

  9. Chapter 12 Why do the characters take the new names of Prometheus and Gaea? Why weren’t they allowed to choose their own names in their old society? What does Prometheus plan to do in the future? How is this any different from his old society? Prometheus realizes that to be free a man he must be free of his brothers (pg. 101). List 2-3 examples from Anthem that illustrate the truth of this statement

  10.
