It sounds like they are just discovering certain inventions that already existed previously. The book even stated, "It is only the Old Ones who whisper about it in the evenings, in the Home of the Useless. They whisper many strange things, of the towers that rose to the sky, in those Unmentionable Times, and of the wagons moving without horses, and of the lights which burned without flame."]]> 2016-09-27 14:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126665949 https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126666230 It is making sense to me, but the only thing I get confused about when reading is when Equality uses "we" and not "I".

So far I think the book is really interesting and easy to read, but in some ways, it is difficult to understand when the ¨we¨ comes into place because I am used to reading it as ¨I¨ ]]> 2016-09-27 14:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126666991 https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126667014 What are the unmentionable times? and why is everyone forbidden?

He feels as though he should be proud to be a street sweeper and happy. But he defies society laws so is he just faking happiness?]]> 2016-09-27 14:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126667036 https://padlet.com/cbspence1/vva0d582mecf/wish/126667346 If there is a house of scholars then why won't the leaders let people who are smarter than others like equality be in that house to help the society?

How society is ran confuses me, like what are the numbers for after the title of one group? Also, do the people in each group get in trouble if they don't act the same?

I am starting to understand it, but in some ways more than one am still confused. Is Equality being watched while she writes  because she gives this feeling  that she is being watched every move she makes. Also, why does he say "we" still if he already seems to knows about individualism? Or, does he not realize that what he is thinking is individualism?

I also am curious as to what Equality saw in the black hole he went in to that made him so curious about life.
