The story “ Anthem” by Ayn Rand is about equality and freedom. In the story, the main character learns to be independent and be his own person. There are many times in my life when I was forced to be independent and self-reliant.
Not that long ago, a few of my friends began to smoke cigarettes. They weren’t in my closest group of friends, but I was still very friendly with them. More and more people started to join too, thinking it was cool. They approached me several times and asked me to join. Each time I turned them away.
