Chapter 1

Anthems society could be compared to the dark ages. It seems to be later on into the future. There education is very basic because they only teach them how to survive, they didn't learn very much about science, math, english or anything else. "But we could not speak and we stood there looking upon them." (page 33) People in this novel also manipulate other people, because they are raised into being scared and being told what to do. No i would not want to live in this society because i hate being held on a short leash and being told what to do. I also like learning and getting a education and they don't do that in this society.
