LITERATURE ANALYSIS #2

FICTION ANALYSIS
This is a book about a man called Equality 7-2521. This man is in a post appocolyptic time where people are living in colonies and each person are not a single individual. they have to address themselves as we because they find individuality a sin. you can be punished for being yourself and for being different. Equality is different. because of this. he is given a job that doesnt require thinking. he is assigned to be a streetsweeper. he actually wants to become a scholor for his community. he is actually really smart compared to others but because being different is bad, he has to be punished. like having to be a street sweeper. and the story goes on like this.

It is very saddening. you feel kind of sad that the world would turn out like this. also it is very cult like. making everyone do what you want all because of a religion.

"there is evil in your bones, Equality 7-2521, for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers." The tone is kind of depressing that he gets treated like that. " all men are good and wise. it is only we, Equality 7-2521, we alone who were born with a curse. for we are not like our brothers." He doesnt quite belong with his community and gets treated differently. "we are one in all and all in one. there are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisable and forever." it has a very cult like feel to it.

CHARACTERIZATION
He describes the protagonist as being six feet tall. this is direct characterization. union 5-3992 as being half brained. this is an example of direct characterization. The golden one is the name of a character. she was given this name by equality. because she has golden hair. this is a form of indirect characterzation.

She doesnt really focus to much on characters. its more of what they do or did then what they say. this book kind of has a poetic feel to it also. because all the characters speak in a manner of we instead of i. so it kind of makes me feel like i am reading shakespeare.

the character is dynamic. the whole story is about his actions. it is kind of like an autobiography. it is a book in the style of a journel. so it describes everything about him.

I came out of this book feeling like i have met someone. It kind of makes me sad to be done with this book. I would have liked for there to have been more to the story.
