1.) To live in a society where there are no "selves", and "we" has replaced "I" the world would be empty. I say that it would be empty simply because "we" would learn to hate or forget about others and become more focused upon our"selves". Also we might become a world of robots and full of technology. Robots have no feelings so that takes away the emotional problems. There would be no "we", "us", "selves", or "I".
4.) I think the unspeakable words are "I","WE","US", and "SELVES". These words represents self independence for man. They can't speak of these words because they where suppose to forget about them and because a dependent society.
3.)Equality 7-2521 explains his background, the society around him, and his emigration. His exclusive use of plural pronouns (we, our, they) to refer to himself and others is immediately obvious. The idea of the World council was to eliminate all individualist ideas. It was so stressed, that people were burned at the stake for saying an unspeakable word.He recounts his early life. He was raised, like all children in the world of Anthem, away from his parents in the Home of the Infants, then transferred to the Home of the Students, where he began his schooling. Later, he realized that he was born with a curse: he is eager to think and question, and unwilling to give up himself for others, which violates the principles upon which Anthem's society is founded. He excelled in math and science, and dreamed of becoming a Scholar. However, the Council of Vocations assigned him to the Home of the Street Sweepers. There he was not allowed to fulfill his dream only to learn the skills of a street sweepers.

ANALYTICAL RESPONSE
I think that “Man Right’s” and “Collective Right’s” differ many ways. “Man Right’s” states what man can and can not do. Man has the right to earn enough and to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation for himself as well as for his family, when it comes to basic survival. When it comes to the law people such as police officers may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. The right of free speech means that a man has the right to express his ideas without danger of suppression as long as they are true statements. ( 1946, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966 by Ayn Rand)
In collective rights it states that these rights are the definitions of proper social relationships. Observe the double standard: while, in the civilized countries of the West, the “liberals” are still advocating internationalism and global self- sacrifice—the savage tribes of Asia and Africa are granted the sovereign “right” to slaughter one another in racial warfare. Mankind is reverting to a pre-industrial, prehistorically view of society: to racial collectivism. I think that collective rights are a personal choice to a person and culture. To some men self- sacrifice might not be acceptable to the, but for religious and cultural reasons it is.( June 1963 by Ayn Rand)
“Man Right’s” and “Collective Right’s” are similar in one. They are similar because they are a set of rules/rights by which people use to govern themselves. These rules/rights are important so that they can have some type of control and system of consequences. Everyone might not agree upon these restrictions but they must be followed. They have the right to express their religious belief and not be judged.
In conclusion, I really didn’t understand what I was reading. I hope that there is another way for me to go back and fully understand it. However, both of these essays are about man, his rights, and the consequences to his wrongful actions.

Lets Be Real
Rough Days
Good Morning is the first thing I tell you
Good Night is the last
But today is the day that you want to show me your ass
I have been there for you from day one
We go through hours of talking and days of texting
Sometimes I wonder was I mistaken
You though I was gone but sorry baby you was sadly mistaken
As the hours past on I have to forgive
What we have is NOT DEAD it never will be
The real reason as to why I was mad
Is because you know how to make me mad
A little jealous is a way to make the world seem small
All I have is my basketball to cry upon
But before I leave please give TOOKIE a hug for me.
