The+Anthem-Individualism

Audience 1. 2.Individualism 3.Mariz DelosSantos 4. The audience are those who seek a hero and adventure. “ Equality 7-2521, the hero of Anthem, is twenty-one years old when he escapes to freedom from a totalitarian state. The author of Anthem made the same escape, at the same age. Then, like her hero, she proceeded to rename herself” (Cox 1). Since she felt the same adventure from the story enough to actually escape on her own, her audience may be looking for something similar. Though the audience may not exactly run away and change their name, they could still feel the same sense of adventure. Rand lived in a place where people couldn’t express themselves and then wrote about someone who escaped to freedom before she took those actions herself. She needed a place where she could be her own individual self. Rand probably doesn’t connect with the audience so much because she basically wrote the book to make an escape for herself.

Cultural 1. 2.Individualism 3.Scott Hearn 4. Cultural events influence the relationship between the author and audience by religion. Religion has certain “rules” and when people try to express their individualism, that goes against the religion and people start judging. This affects modern culture by influencing people to have a certain standard set for people. The persuasion of this “perfect” standard is spread throughout people and taught to children as they grow up which influences the way that they view the way indepence is portrayed among certain people.

4. The author experienced a time in his life when we escaped from the world and lived on his own. He wrote the book based on his coming of individualism. Written form his expericences it shows how individualism evolves over time. The book the anthem was written in 1938 and individualism was a lot different back then. Back them people relied on people for things more than they do now. History will be made from this text because it shows the differences of now and then and showing how people didn’t have freedom to be an individual.
