...that is asked frequently in these situations in the articles Anthem by Ayn Rand, “Emancipation proclamation” by Abraham Lincoln, Prometheus in greek mythology, “Critical Thinking video” by Leo and our Socratic Seminar. What do you want most in life? but not just the people in these texts have trouble asking themselves this. Many teenegers now struggle with this too. They have to decide whether they want to do something or not and most of the time this affects their entire life. I also struggle with answering this and getting what I want most in my life. What i want most in my life is freedom and acceptance. First, In the book Anthem by Ayn Rand Equality wanted freedom. He wanted the freedom to be himself and to learn. He also wanted to be accepted by his “brothers”. In the book equality struggled to fit in. He always hid who he was so he wouldn’t get in trouble. For example he was so different that he was even taller than everyone else “ There is evil in your bones, Equality 7-2521, for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers” (Anthem pg.18). But equality is not the only one. I can relate to this because I've also struggled with acceptance from my family and i still do....

...Which is worse failing or never trying? That's a question many of us should think to yourself and say it inside our brain which is worse. The books that we looked over to answer this question were Anthem by Ayn Rand , “The Emancipation Proclamation,” by Abraham Lincoln , “Prometheus,” from Greek Mythology also the audio of “Critical Thinking” by Leo and lets not forget the Socratic Seminar with the class. I think it's worse to never try in many thinks like in life. First , Equality 7-2521 in Anthem By Ayn Rand never gave up in what he discover. An example of this is planning to escape from the council to show them the light he discover in the tunnel. This is when Equality 7-2521 discover a light that no one has ever done or disobey orders from the council and following the light. This connects to my life by always disobeying everyone why because is something I always do I like doing many things on my own and in my own way not their way. Next Emancipation proclamation , by Abraham Lincoln. In the Emancipation Proclamation Abraham he wanted to free all of the slaves so that they can have freedom as the americans do. A quote of the Emancipation would be “ I order and and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated states , and parts of states , are...

...For example, Martin Luther king wanted to give equal rights towards African Americans because they were very supressed at that time and you can say Dr. King accomplished what he was trying to do. Some people work their whole lives to buy a car they've always wanted, and they accomplish it. Different people desire different things. Some people work for themselves to find self euphoria and others assist people to pursuit their own happiness. The text/videos and authors I will be referring to in this text are first off , Anthem by Ayn Rand, “Emancipation Proclamation” by Abraham Lincoln, “Prometheus” found in greek mythology, Critical thinking by Leo, and our very own socratic seminar we had as a classroom. I feel as if I can apply the question , “what do I want most in life” to each of these text/videos because they were trying to find a way to accomplish their vision. I want most in life is to find my happiness First off, I will be talking about Anthem by Ayn Rand....

...Have you ever questioned yourself what are you doing about the things that matter the most in your life? The texts/videos we reviewed are Anthem by Ayn Rand, “Emancipation Proclamation” by Abraham Lincoln, “Prometheus” from Greek Mythology, Critical Thinking Audio by Leo, and as a class we did a Socratic Seminar. I have worked hard to do everything I can, so far, about the things that matter most in my life such as education, family, and myself. First of all, Equality in Anthem did just about anything about the things that mattered in his life even if he was breaking the law. According to Rand, when Equality discovered light the first thing that came to mind was that he was able to learn more than what he was just taught. Equality was very astute and he wanted to know more. He wanted to show the World Council his discover. As a result, he decided to escape to the Uncharted Forest after the World Council basically denied his discovery. Eventually, Liberty had found him, since she followed him, and decide to stay with home. After escaping,...

...Which is worse, failing or never trying? In Anthem by Ayn Rand, The “Emancipation Proclamation” by Abraham Lincoln , Prometheus from Greek Mythology, Critical thinking audio by Leo and a socratic seminar is the text that I will get my examples and information from. My opinion was that it’s worse to never try rather than fail because when you never try your filled with curiosity and regret, you can gain experience from your failures to help you and sometimes it will better your future or the people around you. At first, in Anthem, Liberty is born into a city where his rights are revoked. Basic human rights such as a name, being able to see your parents, or even picking your career choice was never a luxury for them. Liberty was born different though, he has felt it ever since he was little. He was more curious about things, he fought with the other kids and he was very smart. However, this was all considered evil nature in that city....
