  1. 1. He finds himself. He's never found himself as one person. The miracle of him is his own to keep and his own to guard, his own to use, and his own to kneel before.

    3. "I" is like a God because it will grant them joy and peace and pride. There is no more we, instead, it's I.

  7. 2. Equality discovers in this chapter that his goal in life is just to be happy. He has always been restricted from doing what he wanted, so he never really knew what being happy was like.
    3. In the chapter, Equality makes the word "I" seem like it is godly. He thinks it is because he has always called himself "we", and using any other word made you seem like you were of a higher value than everyone else.

  9. 1. Equality finds happiness. He found the word he has been looking for; it is I. He now knows that he is not to serve others, but he is to have his own freedom. He is to find his own peace within him, and not follow the rules of society, but set his own.

  10. 1) When reading one of the books in the house he discovers the word I.

    3) He thinks the word I is like a good because he thinks it of peace, joy, and pride, things he hasn't got to feel before. So he thinks of the word I as being god.
