this show Equality’s rebellious acts, and it is also shows his motivation of individuality. The society of Anthem has shaped and “tried” to conform the human mind, to think that everything that is taught is right. The brain is so powerful that Equality 7-2521 cannot help let his thoughts although simple considered generous, get a hold of him. “Two common types of rebellion are against socially fitting in (rebellion of non-conformity)…” (Phycology Today).
The Nile River is one of the most well-known and iconic rivers on Earth. Empires and many nations were built near the Nile because of the many benefits the Nile provided. The Ancient Egyptian empire lasted from about 3100 BCE to 30 BCE and many cities and farms were built around the Nile at the time.

Moreover, the poem ends dramatically as Dawe states ‘you’re dead, dead, dead’, in which it foreshadows the recruits’ deaths and yet, reinforcing the crudity of wars and reality through the repetition of ‘dead’.
Violence is not something one, no matter one 's level of expertise, can actually plan for. I can think of many tough young men dead young now. The symbolism of the ring, or the octagon gain resonance because they appeal to our desperate need for order out of the desperate appearance of chaos, for a struggle, if not for a taste of our hero 's invulnerability, for a portion of his honor and nobility. Gorn ties this drive, over time, to the class struggle both in England and America, and how the working class who fought for workers rights often identified closely with great fighters and bare-knuckle boxers. This is not a mindless venture into violence this study is a glimpse into the reality of working class heroes that perhaps many who purport to be their champions among the liberal class would rather shy away from.

Poetry is a type of literary work where authors can express their views on feelings, life or something they feel strongly about. Mark Strand and Larry Levis used poems to express their views on poetry.
