Topic 2: Now think about Anthem. What could happen to make our society like that in Rand's novel? Is this realistic? Which future is more likely, that of V or Anthem?
I think that if someone very persuasive and powerful became the leader of this country, it is possible to become like the society in Anthem. However, I do not think that it is very realistic. I feel that no one wants to be labeled with a name and number like Equality 7-2521. I know that I would not like to be labeled like this. It reminds me of the Holocaust when the captured Jews were given numbers that labeled them, these numbers were tatooed on their wrists. I think that Americans have learned from the mistakes of the past, so I do not think that this will ever come. I think the society of V for Vendetta is more likely to happen in the future than the society in Anthem. Anthem was more controlling than the society in V for Vendetta. The V for Vendetta society just seems more possible than the society in Anthem. The people in V for Vendetta still had some control of their lives, but the people in Anthem had not control of their lives; that is why I think that the society in V for Vendetta is more possible ot happen than the society in Anthem.
