  1. Equality takes the name Prometheus and Liberty takes the name Gaea. The reason that Equality wanted them to change their names is because he read in a book about how individuals used to have names that distinguised them from all other individuals. I also think that he wanted to take a new name because the name Equality reminded him of the lies that the world council was feeding to the people.

    In the future, Equality plans to rebuild the achievements of man and put lights all the way around his house. Then he plans to go back to his hometown and save his friends and tell everyone of the great truth he has discovered.

    Equality wants to put the word 'Ego' above every door, and on every door.

    If I were him, I would choose the same word to be my sacred word because the word ego is what defines each and every individual. It is the the right to be different from every other individual in the world.

  2. 1.His new name is Promethus, and her new name is Gaea. The purpose of the new names are, because nobody should be without a name. He took the name of a god, ans she took the name of a goddess.

    2.He plans to live in his own house, to learn many secrets by reading books, and he also plans to rebuild the achievements of the past and use them in the future.

    3.He plans to put the word "EGO" on top of doors, and on banners.


    Honors:Ego means to have your own identity, and to be yourself.If I was in his position, my sacred word would be "Freedom", because he is now free to do whatever he wants to do.

  3. 1. Equality’s new name is Prometheus, and Liberty’s new name is Gaea.
    2. He plans to stay in the house, work the land, and he wants to learn more secrets about the “Unmentionable Times.”
    3. The word that he says he will cut above the doors and print on his banners is the word “EGO”.

    Honors:

    Equality’s scared word in my opinion kind of defines who a person is. If a person doesn’t have an ego I kind of wonder if they are a real person. Your ego keeps you going and it defines who you are. You should always know who you are, and your ego helps you with that.

  4. 1. Equality takes the name Prometheus and he gives Liberty the name Gaea. He chose these because they were individuals who distinguished themselves from everyone else.
    2. He plans to gather the others who are not brainwashed to society and start a new civilization the right way.
    3. The sacred word to him is Ego.

    Honors Prompt:
    Equality's word describes what each person has to make them distinguished from everyone. My sacred word would be the same because you can't not have an ego and be individual.

  5. #1: Equality picks the name Prometheus and Liberty takes the name Gaea. Equality used these names because he read them in one of the books from the "Unmentionable Times" and he believes that the name Prometheus was a good name for him to take, and same thing with Gaea.

    #2: He plans to start a new revolution in which men are themselves. He plans to live in this house and make his own family and that family will live on its own.

    #3: The word is "Ego".

    Honor's Discussion Prompt: The word Ego means to me that you think highly of yourself, and it can be good and bad. If you have to big of an ego you think your better than everybody else, but if you have very low ego then you have very low self respect. If I was in his situation then my word would probably be independence. It would be independence because the old society he was in never allowed independence and you were a part of "one man".

  6. Equality's new name is Prometheus. Prometheus stole fire from the gods like Equality took knowledge from the council so to speak. Liberty took on the name Gaea because she was the mother of the earth just like liberty will be the mother of the new mankind.

    He plans to stay in the house and bring back people from the city.

    "EGO" is the sacred word.

    Ego is the one for himself word for Equality. In my situation the word would be I. This is because it gives a sense of self purpose and individualism.

  7. 1. Equality's new name is Prometheus. He chose this name because no man should be without a name. This name is very significant because Prometheus brought light to all the other gods, and Equality discovered a little thing called light. Liberty's name is changed to Gaea, which was the mother of earth.

    2. Equality plans to start a brand new society where the word "We" must never be spoken. And he will have a child,where the kid must never use the word "We". He will start with his home, which will be the center of everything. And start a brand new beginning for men.

    3. The secret word is Ego.

    Honors Prompt:
    The word ego, will be placed everywhere to state that it will never die and is always going to be the thought throughout all of this new household and society. The word states that Equality has gone past the ways of the last society, and created a brand new look on himself and man. I don't think another word would be good to take the place of ego.

  8. #1: Equality took the name Prometheus. He took this name because Prometheus took the light from the gods and gave it to man, and that’s what Equality did in the form of knowledge. Liberty took the name Gaea. She took this name because Gaea was the mother of the earth and gods, and liberty will be the mother of a new society.

    #2: Equality plans to stay in the house and bring back the achievements of the old world. He plans to rescue International and the others from the Council. Most importantly he plans to build a society that does not use the word 'we'.

    #3: The sacred word is Ego.

    Honors: Ego is some one's idea of self importance. It’s basically how you see and feel about yourself. My sacred word would be "original' because that’s what everyone should be. Everyone should be able to think and do what they want in a way that unique to them.

  9. 1. Equality chooses the name Prometheus, which comes from a book in the "Unmentionable Times". In the book, Prometheus takes light and gives it to men. Equality gives Liberty the name Gaea (mother of the earth), because she will become the mother of a new society.

    2. He plans to gather all those that will follow him in a new individual society.

    3. The word is "Ego".

    Honors: Ego means to be an individual, and how you conduct and think of yourself. I think my word would be "individual". Because, in the end, thats what Equality is searching for.

  10. #1 Equality chooses new names for himself and The Golden One because in the books he read, he discovered that in the past, men were given a name that distinguished them from everyone else. His new name is Prometheus and The Golden One’s new name is Gaea. Equality chose those names in particular because they were important individuals.

    #2 Equality plans to build a brand new society where everyone is taught to be an individual. He plans to have a family and learn as much as he can from the Unmentionable Times, then he wants to go back to his former society and share what he has learned with his close friends.

    #3 Equality wants to put the word “EGO” above every door and place it on every banner.

    Prompt:
    The word Ego means to have a personality. Without Ego one everyone would be the same, no one would be special. This word also means to have self-importance and self-interest in oneself. It’s about caring for who you are and what you stand for. If I were in Equality’s shoes my sacred word would be character. Although this word is very similar to the definition of ego, it means to have distinctive qualities and unique traits. Character is something you build over time; it’s how you live and what you believe in.

  11. 1. Equality chooses the name Prometheus, and gives Liberty the name Gaea. He chose Prometheus because he could relate to what he had read about the man. The books said he took the light of the gods and brought it to men, and taught men to be gods, and that he suffered, as all bearers of light must suffer. Equality felt this name suited him because of that. He gave Liberty the name Gaea because that was the name of the goddess that was mother to the earth and gods, just as Liberty would be mother to a new kind of gods.

    2. He plans to live in that house and work for his own sake. He wants to learn from the books and rebuild the achievements of the past, and to achieve even more. He wants to learn and to build, and to raise his child to know the word 'I'. He will also go back to the city one last time and take his friends and bring them back to his home, and write a new chapter of the history of humans,

    3. The sacred word is ego.

    Honors: I think ego pretty much means 'self'. It is you, and your personality, and who you are. It is individuality. However, as important as that word is, it wouldn't be my sacred word. Mine would be 'individual'. It would be that because that is what I think it is most important for people to know...that their an individual, and their important.

  16. #1 Equality's new name is Prometheus and Liberty's new name is Gaea. Prometheus was a teacher so to speak. Gaea was a goddess and the mother of all of the other gods. Equality chose this name because he did kind of the same things and Equality chose Liberty's name because she was to be the mother of this new society.

    #3 The word is ego.
    Prompt: Ego is the self of any person. My word most likely be would be individuality.

  17. #1 Equality's new name is Prometheus and Liberty's new name is Gaea. Prometheus teached people so Equality fit perfectly with that name. Gaea describes beauty and Liberty has those characteristics.

    #2 Equality wants to construct a new society with his peers.

    #3 The word is Ego. It describes the individuality of a person.

    Prompt- My world would have to be individuality.

  18. #1: Equality's new name he gave to himself is Prometheus and he gave the name Gaea for Liberty. He gave them new names to start fresh in their new lives. Plus, it's also for their lives as individuals.

    #2: Equality's plan is to create a new society that would overcome the one in Anthem. He was going to make one better and bring all of his friends to the new society. It would be a place where men could be free, and speak freely.

    #3: The word is "ego."

    Honors: Ego is basically what makes you different from everybody else. It's the self in every person. My word would be individuality. I chose that word because it's the indiviual inside of you. It makes everybody their own person; it's who they are. I think that word could work just as much as ego.
    (Sorry Jacob I wasn't copying you. That's the word i was going to use and then i saaw you had the same thing!)

  22. Honors: ego is your own self-definition. My word would be self because the belief in it is important for identities.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1- Equality and Liberty take the names of Prometheus and Gaea. Equality took the name of Prometheus because he was a very intelligent man. Liberty took the name of Gaea because she was a goddess and Equality pictures Liberty as a goddess.

    2- Equality plans to start a new community. He is going back to his birthplace and collecting his most loyal friends to start a new community. He also wants to build a wall to protect his friends and family.

    3- The sacred word is “ego.” He says that it is a word which can never die and it is the heart of it and meaning and the glory. It will be on the portals of his fort and the word shall be his beacon and his banner. He also explains that the word will not die even if they all perish in battle.

    Honors- My sacred word would be “trust.” Because we all need to rely and trust on each other to get through life. Equality’s word also says a lot. His word explains what we are all made of.

  24. 1). Equality takes the name Prometheus and Liberty takes the name Gaea. He gave them these names because he is reading the books and figures out that all humans should have a real name not just an identity.

    2). In the future, Equality wants to put lights all around his house and start to recreate mankind. Then, he wants to go back and get his friends to show them the freedom they're missing.

    3). The word he wants to put above every door is ego. That is his sacred word.

    Honors: Ego is how you define yourself. It is what you are. My sacred word would probably be the same because to have an ego is to be an individual.

  25. #1/ Equality takes the name Prometheus and Liberty takes the name Gaea. Prometheus in Greek legend was the being who brought light to man and Gaea was the most beautiful goddess to ever be mentioned.
    #2/ He plans to harness electricity to the point of powering the house and then he will return to his old city and show people that light and knowledge are not evil.
    HONORS PROMPT/ I think ego means how a man feels about himself. My sacred word would be EGO or I. I would choose one of these words because I value my opinion the same as if not more than that of others.

    Equality takes the name Prometheus and Liberty takes the name Gaea. They take these names because Equality read in a book that long ago people used to have diferent names that made them different from everyone else. Gaea ment mother and was the most beautiful goddess and Prometheus brought light to men. In the Future Equality plans to have sons and create a "kingdom" of sorts and use his electricity to protect and aid him. He will go back to the city and get his friends that can be indivisauls and he will fight the society that tried to fool him. He will print EGO on all his banners and his door to show mans true self and resolve.

    Honors-
    Ego is the self and personality of someone and what they have come to be seen as in the eyes of others and themselves. If i had to pick a word it would be Sunrise which would represent the rise of something new and strong that would shine over all and warm something that was once dark and cold.

  30. 1) Equality took the name Prometheus, and Liberty took the name Gaea. These new names signify their new life.
    2) He plans to start a new revolution and teach his kids to only use "I"
    3) The word is EGO

    Honors: In Equality's situation I would choose the same word. Because it places you as an indiviual, not a follower.

  31. Hcurr: I like the way you put this.

    Lcrem: Very good way to put this.

  32. HONORS PROMPT/ Ego is self-personality and how one feels about something in their own unique way. It is one of the most important emotions because it lets one put themselves before another at least in terms of what they are interested in. I would probably be my sacred word because it shows that you should respect me for my opinions and not just me.
