Theme Analyses Each member must submit at least one theme analysis, two of which must be from the following:
Individuality is key to society progressing.

The impotence of the collective group.
by Quinton Stewart
The theme of the impotence of the collective group is built on setting. Society created a candle and it took years. It took Equality a couple of days to make electricity. This means for me is that society took forever to invent and it took Equality several days to invent electricity and this separates him from others. This supports my point because it tells that Equality is very smart and that he can succeed better than others and that he is not a failure.
The value of martyrdom.

Tone Analyses Each member of your group must write one analysis of a single, agreed upon tone. The group should decide on whether or not the tone changes over the course of the novel. If it does not, write about a single tone. If it does, write about the shift between two tones. Make sure to sign your analysis.
The author’s tone is judgmental. It is very bad to be very smart, and the group doesn’t like that anyone is different. They punish him when he discovers electricity because he wasn’t with the group when he did it. This means that they are very judgmental about anyone who is smarter or better than the council. This explains my point because it tells that Ayn Rand is very judgmental on men in Collectivism on how they go about things and how they want to live in the future. - Quinton Stewart
