"They are a tall, strong youth and their eyes are like fireflies, for there is laughter in their eyes." (Rand 1). This simile is trying to show that there is light in his eyes and that something was different about him from the rest of the people in the society.

The sky to a black sieve with silver drops

"The sky is like a black sieve pierced by silver drops that tremble,ready to burst through" (Rand Ch 1). They are talking about the night sky and how the stars are bright little specks almost like they will pierce the sky. I believe it is kind of a foreshadow and how the space is the society and how the stars will break through and take over the night like Equality and the Golden One.

The quote shows that Equality and the Golden One have finally gotten to a point where they realize it is okay to by selfish sometimes and to just be themselves, differentiating from others.

This explains how even though Equality thought he was doing it for the better good of society others did not think that way. Equality realizes that he really did do it for himself just so he could become a scholar.

This shows that even though Equality wants to be himself he knows that it would be a great sin and decides to just deal with it. Equality did this since he didn't want to cause trouble and lower his chances of becoming a scholar.

Finally, the theme is refined when it becomes apparent to Equality when he must run away with his light into the forest just to become different from the rest of the society and get his own name with the Golden One.The author explains “My dearest one, it is not proper for men to be without names. There was a time when each man had a name of his own to distinguish him from all other men. So let us choose our names" (Rand Ch 12).

Later the theme is developed when Equality was going to show the scholars his creation of light, but the scholars told him if it was not made by brothers or accepted by it is not real and must be destroyed. The author states, “So you think that you have found a new power,” said Collective 0-0009. "Do all your brothers think that?” No,” we answered. “What is not thought by all men cannot be true,” said Collective 0-0009" (Rand Ch 7).

The theme first emerges when Equality was stuck bored in class and was not allowed to go ahead in school since he would be unequal to the other students who were struggling. The author shows, “It was not that learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy. This is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick" (Rand Ch 1).

Too much equality can cause people to lose individualism completely.
