I wonder how they decide who gets what job and why. The council decides everything but there has to be a reason, and this upsets me because there is no reason behind it, they just pick your job for you but they need to have a reason why and should test them instead of just giving them a job.

I am confused as to why Equality got chosen to be a street sweeper. I didn't get why the person chose him to do that and I feel like it wasn't explained. I also don't understand who is enforcing the rules on society. How do you get in that position? What is the purpose of the collective society and why can't they prefer one job over another?

# data[].attributes.body
I am curious who picks the council. It seems very unjust. Also how do they choose who gets a job. Do they just randomly pick people for different jobs. And does it have something to do with the class system. And also what is the history of this place. Why did they choose this how it is.

I would like to know how they actually communicate with each other. Would they still say we all the time or would they only say it if they were talking about themselves and another person? I would also like to know what he learns while down in the Earth. It tells us how he learns things from the unspeakable time and things that even the scholars don´t comprehend, but would that be how society is now in our world or would it be information on how we used crops or old wars and why we fought?

I just wonder what conversations between two people would sound like in the society of Anthem. It seems like people aren't allowed to talk about a lot of things, so I wonder what they do talk about or if they even talk to each other much at all. Also I do not really understand how the book represents a dystopia so far because it seems as though everything is in order and everyone is happy save for Equality.

How does the council decide who gets each job? Also, how is Equality able to steal things and get away with it? I don't understand how it goes unnoticed.

I am confused about exactly what the manuscripts are. I know it takes someone a whole year to write one of them, but what do they contain? And how did Equality and Liberty manage to steel two of them if it is such a great defense to do so?

I was wondering who picked the council? Because someone higher up would have to be in charge of council, but no men can be superior to another.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused over the Council in general. How did they get their power/who gave them their power? Also, how do they decide who gets which job? Why did the old society fail and why did the council revert back to old times instead of embracing the new technology that they used to have?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm confused on why the Anthem society is the way it is. Who made the society the way it is? Why did they want it this way?

I was wondering about how they choose who gets what job. Is it random?

Within the book it talks about how the council chooses the jobs. My question is how does the council decide who gets which jobs? Another question I have is how was the council formed, and who are they?

# data[].attributes.body
I was confused on the council overall. I was curious on how they decided that the council should get to choose in the first place. Then also, how did the council know that they were choosing correctly on what they'd be good at?

I'm getting a little confused on who is who in the book, but I'm getting more and more used to it. I also don't quite understand the 'Homes' of the people and what exactly everyone's job is.

I'm confused by the leaders and council members and how they pick other leaders. Do they just have a sense that someone will be a good leader, is it by looks, or is it by how they act?

# data[].attributes.body
When I was reading I wondered if there were any specific reasons behind what jobs were given to what people. Do they decide on the spot? Is it based on what they look like? Do they already have the jobs picked in advance? Hopefully we will find out later in the book because that confused me. Also, I questioned how Equality did not get caught during those 2 years of going underground.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the council get to pick jobs for everyone?  What made them decide on those jobs for that one person? How did they get to be on the council?

I want to know why the council is the council? Like who put it in order and why and why they think they should be in charge of literally everything about a person?

The one question I have is why some people are scared of the council and others are not like International 4-8818. What makes the men want to go in the hole and what convinces the others to go down too. Some men want to report to the council just to get the reward while others want to learn about it. What made these men so different?

I don't understand how Equality is able to steal all the things he needs to perform the experiments in the tunnels without anyone from noticing. Is there a police force that can regulate the crimes that happen in this society, or that no one cares that he stole rare documents to help his research in the tunnel lab?

I was a bit confused by the concept of this whole society and who put it in place? Also, I wonder how they decide who is in the council, do they have elections or is it like a thing similar to a royal family, where sons/daughters of current members get to join? I also am wondering about the Palace of Corrective Detention, is it like a normal prison or is it more like a psychological prison, where they break people down and make them think a certain way?

# data[].attributes.body
While reading I was confused about why the council got to choose the jobs of everyone and why they had no say in what they would do. Why do the people agree to go alone with everything that is decided in the society?

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know more about the way that the laws work. I know that Equality said that they would be lashed to death if the Council found out that they didn't tell them about the tunnel. What kinds of punishments would be administered to certain crimes?

# data[].attributes.body
I am just a little bit confused about the whole idea of the council, how do they get to decide and why, who came up with this idea and why do most people follow it?

In the book, it talks about how they are doing random science things in the tunnel, and reading books to learn more things than the Scholars knew. How is it that with a tunnel and left over items they are understanding more things than the Scholars, who have their own building. If the Scholars are doing their job properly, then they should not be able to be passed up by some random experiments. So the only question is, are the Scholars not thinking as openly, or are they being restrained to what they can do by the leaders. If they are not restrained, then their is no reason for them not to be constantly making new things.
