Think about the "This I believe" essays we've heard, and the ideas you read about in Anthem. In thinking about Equality,
1. What would you say he believes?
2. What has he learned about life and how does this influence his beliefs?
3. Jackie Robinson said one must be willing to fight for what is good. What is Equality fighting for? Will it be a losing fight, do you think?
4. What will sustain him in his fight?
5. What will he do for others, do you think?
6. What other questions do you have, from your reading last night?
