ReplyDeleteVery straight forward! Great points in this blog, good job!
DeleteI agree completely! The Council was very strict about people thinking for themselves.
Delete2. The reason wht fear is a big deal in this story is because without freedom in the world it is really easy to get in trouble and punished. Most of the people are weighted with fear in there soul therefore, they follow the rules.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good idea of why fear is prevalent. Good job.
DeleteI agree a very good job of why fear is a BIG deal!

ReplyDeleteher body was striaght and thin and a blade of iron her hari was golden as the sun
ReplyDelete1. Equality says that Liberty is "straight and thin as a blade of iron". She has dark, hard eyes that have no emotion in them. She also has golden hair, and seems to be very defiant of the rules they are given.
ReplyDelete2. It is shown in the story that fear is definitely the most prevalent emotion for the people. I think they are fearful because of the strict rules and standards they have. They are afraid that anything they do or say will get them in trouble, even if it is as a whole.
I agree with Michaela complete because the council did have a very strict rules on what people could and couldn't do.
DeleteI agree they have no say every thing is very strict.
DeleteI agree because they can't do anything about it because if they do they will get in trouble and will be punished.
Delete5. The Great Truth is what really happened in the past. The Unmentionable Times is the past and all they've created. The Uncharted Forest is where nobody goes because it's "dangerous." The Evil Ones fought against the city and didn't listen to them. The Great Rebirth is when everything changed for the "better."
ReplyDeletei AGREE because it was in the book and i had the same thought pretty much
Delete1. Liberty 5-3000 is described as six foot tall with golden hair. They had no fear weighing them down, for they were different.
ReplyDelete1. Liberty 5-3000 is described as their body was straight and thin as a blade of iron. Their eyes were dark and hard and glowing, with no fear in them, no kindness, and no guilt. Their hair was golder as the sun; their hair flew in the wind, shining and wild, as if it defied men to restrain it.
ReplyDelete2. Fear is the prevalent emotion in this society because if any of them does something not equal to the others, they get horribly punished and may even be killed in a painful way. They're all scared to do something someone else isn't because they're constantly being watched and it's terrifying for them.
Thats exactly what I was thinking Bayli! If they are not equal they are punished and that scares them.
Delete1. The laws are so strict and there is no freedom. If you disobey the laws you are immediately sent to the palace of corrective detention. Fear is prevalent because the government wants them to be scared.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jessica. Fear is their biggest problem.
Delete1. She descibes her as strong. Young, Wild, and Free. Ayn said on page 39 "Their eyes were dark and hard and glowing, with no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt. Their hair was golden as the sun; their hair flew in the wind, shining and wild, as if it defied men to restrain it
ReplyDelete5. The uncharted forest is where no one can go. But if they could. They would be free. The unmentionable times is back before when people were free. Like the good times.
ReplyDelete1. In the story it reveals that 5-300 is a women. She has dark eyes that have no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt. Her body was straight and thin as a blade of iron. She was defined as a free person unlike everyone else.
ReplyDelete1. Some character traits that the author reveals about Liberty 5-3000 are that she has dark eyes that appear to have no emotion in them, and that her hair is as golden as the sun. She is basically a female version of Equality.
ReplyDelete2. Fear is the main emotion because if your not exactly equal you are punished. You can even be killed. They're always being watched so that always live in fear
ReplyDeleteI agree because there government is extremely strict on what there people can do.

ReplyDelete2. fear is the most prevalent emotion in this society because the counsel doesn't let the people be there self and do what they desire.
ReplyDeleteI disagree absolutely ridiculous Corey!
Delete5. The Great Truth is what really happened in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe Unmentional Times is the time before the rebirth.
The Uncharted Forest is a place where people aren't allowed to go, a place that isn't on maps.
The Evil Ones are the ones that lived before the rebirth.
The Great Rebirth is when the current world of Anthem was established.
I agree with Lauren!
DeleteI agree with you too. So true!
DeleteI agree with lauren also.
Delete3. Equality has many different traits that make him stand out to the other men. He is very intellectual, unlike the other men. He is not afraid to say what is on his mind, and break the rules.
ReplyDelete1) Her body was straight and then as a blade, her eyes where dark and glowing with no fear, and her hair was golden and flew in the wind. She seems free spirited, and not afraid of anything.
ReplyDelete2) Fear is the prominent emotion because the council is all ways there. So if you think by yourself, do something by yourself, or disobey one of your brothers you get punished.
1. Liberty 5-3000 is 6 foot tall with golden hair. They had no fear of weighing them down.
ReplyDeleteEquality is willing to go against the council in order to do what he wants. Unlike all the others that are afraid to go against the will of the council.
ReplyDeleteFear is the most prevalent emotion because, if your not equal with others your punished. There counsel doesn't allow you to be yourself which makes having fear hard because of the difference with the others.
ReplyDeleteYou are right they aren't allowed to stand out.
Delete1.Liberty 5-3000 is described as 'straight and thin as a blade of iron. Their eyes were dark and hard and glowing, with no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt. Their hair was golden as the sun.''
ReplyDelete2. The feelings in the story is anger and fear. They shall not fear or think what they want because no other man is thinking it. They are angry that they think liberty is different but can not share it. But fear fills them cause they are scared that people will know that they see differently of liberty and that is a sin.
1. She is tall with dark eyes and golden hair, and 17 years old and fearless.
ReplyDelete2. People are born with emotion such as sad, happy, angry etc. It is impossible to be happy all the time. In their world they are forced to be happy, but if they do not act like it they will pay. They must live in fear because if they brake the rules there will be consequences.
1. The book describes Liberty 5-3000 as a 17 year old girl, with blonde hair, dark hard eyes. It describes her as different. She seems to not be scared of anything, and she seems free.
ReplyDelete3. Equality has lots of different things that make him different. He is very different about lots of things, that's how he grew up to be.
ReplyDelete2. Fear is prevalent emotion in this society because if someone doesn't do something equal to others, they'll get punished. There scared to do something different from everyone because their always being watched.
