" The book I read was Anthem by Ayn Rand. Equality 7-2521 lives in the dark ages of the future where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, and all traces of individualism have been wiped out. The youth Equality 7-2521, he has found a hidden tunnel and hides in it to write. Even though he does not feel guilt for writing, because it is against the law, he still begs for forgiveness. As he spends more time alone, he realizes that solitude suits him, and he begins to crave more and more times by himself When the council of vocations assigned him to be a street sweeper instead of a scholar, he was pleased because it meant he could atone for the sins he had committed. The characters consist of Equality 7-2521, Te Golden one, The transgressor of the Unspeakable Word, International 4-8818, and collective 0-0009. Some one who enjoys books that has a little bit of a mystery and enjoy books that have to do with history would enjoy this book, Anthem. "
