  1. #4 I think the word is "i" or "me" because no one is ever alowed to say any word that relates to being different.

  2. 3. Equality is different from the other men in the society because he reaches out .Equauilty wants to answer questions and explore. Equality wanst to know what the others dont want to know .Equality is brave .Equality doesnt want to just sit around and be dull. Equality wants to make his life worth living. Equality is always courios about everything.. always questioning everything.. unlike the others in the society who get told not to do something then they dont care or think about it any more

  5. 2) Their most prevalent emotion is fear because that is what most of them lived in. They weren't allowed to do anything, and they were afraid of what society would do to them if they did anything wrong.

  6. 2) Fear is the main emotion in this society because one slip up and they are in a lot of trouble. If you were to say the word I you would be punished with death and that is the only thing punishable with death.

  9. 4. The word that is not alloweed to be said is "i" or "me" . if this word gets said then whoever said it gets there tongue cut out and death upon them. This is the word that Equality thinks of because he wants to be looked at like somebody ..Equality wants to be reconized..Equality wants to be himself and not have to copy everyone else.

  11. #3. Equality, is independent and does take the chance to wonder things, and doesn't have fear, like everyone else in society. He isn't afraid he wants answers.
    #1. " Her hair was golden as the sunand flew in the wind. Sining and wild as if it defied men to restrain it." It talks about how beautiful her hair is, and how beautiful she is as a human being in general.

  12. 1.) Her hair is her most talked about trait in the book.
    2.)Fear was prevalent because if they did wrong they were punished!
    3.) He is Braver than the other men more intelligent and fearless
    4.) The word is "I" or "Me" because those word are not allowed therefore forbidding them to think alone.
