Anthem, Evaluating Author's Style: I should clarify that this is 6 questions and I'm gonna need the answers by Thursday.
1. Ayn Rand wrote Anthem in a deliberately simple, austere style. Explain why this style is appropriate, given the novel's setting and characters.

2. Discuss the meaning and significance of the following figurative language in Anthem. "We blew out the candle. Darkness swallowed us. There was nothing left around us, save night and a thin thread of flame in it, as a crack in the wall of a prison" (59).

3. Discuss the meaning and significance of the following figurative language in Anthem. "But International 4-8818 are different. They are a tall, strong, youth and their eyes are like fireflies" (26).

4. Discuss the meaning and significance of the following figurative language in Anthem. "The shoulders of our Brothers are hunched, and their muscles are drawn, as if their bodies were shrinking and wished to shrink out of sight" (47).

5. Discuss the meaning and significance of the following figurative language in Anthem. "The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them" (52).

6. Ayn Rand wrote Anthem in diary form, using first person major point of view. Discuss the merits of this form and point of view for this particular novel. Consider: Why is the diary form crucial to plot and character development in Anthem? How does it help to reveal the setting and establish the nature of this society? How does it contribute to the mystery surrounding the Unspeakable Word? How would using third person omniscient point of view weaken the novel?
