Equality Can Ruin!!!!!
I found equality in not only the book anthem but also in the book the giver. These books both show different kinds of equality. equality can be a good thing in many ways but also can be bad the good and the bad may weigh each other out at times but thats not always the case. . sameness/equality depends on your own opinion. If you had come from one of the community’s in this book you would not have an opinion, because you would not know what opinion means. Knowing you are entitled to your own opinion you tend act open and rebel. Sameness equality is not always bad, but also not always good.

In the book the giver equality is a big part
in the community although it may just be a book there is big possibilities that
this is what the world will become. The community in the giver are very
concealed they have restriction, as in they are limited to the freedom they are
given not only do they not get to choose their parent they also don’t choose
their companion or their jobs that they will be stuck with the rest of their
life’s. In the giver Jonas is chosen as the receiver of memories, he is chosen
for this job not only because of his smartness but also for his ability to see
beyond. Jonas comes to learn that things can be different from the way they are
in the community. Being the receiver of memories he receives the memories from
before his time, from before they had so many rules, from before they were told
what their jobs were. When everything was loved. “I am going to give you the
memory of snow,” the old man said, and placed his hands on Jonas’s bare back.”
(Lowry 79) the giver is a great book. many may be worried about the book giving
others the idea to make everything the same. this book very much could change
the world in the future. the giver is a good book i recomend this book to
others only if they don't plan on getting any idea’s. : )
in the book anthem equality is an even bigger
part in the community. in the anthem there's hundreds with the same name just
different digits on the end. they all have no title to their own opinion.
equality is a street sweeper who like jonas in the giver can see beyond. he has
ideas but his idea’s are pushed away because he is a street sweeperthey have
levels of importance in this book and he is not important. therefore he leaves
starting his own live with the girl he loves who knows what is to come but i
know the world is gonna be great.
equality can be a good thing in many ways, but also can be bad the good and the bad may weigh each other out at times but that may not always be the case. think about it the good is how our life is good there is sameness but not enough to ruin our lifes but there is same samess. the bad is in the 2 books that we read in class no one has their own opinion. they are told what their job is. and they are very limited. some good is well think about it we all are the same because we are all entitled to our own opinions.
in conclusion sameness can be good but when it comes down to it i dont choose that path of life for me.if thats what you choose cooodo’s to you but i like life the way it is. sameness can be good but the bad its gunna crush the good.
