Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the main character's name?

Answer: Equality 7-2521

I wonder if Rand did this on purpose. She gave her main character the name Equality, when nothing in his society was equal.

2. Where do the Old Ones live?

Answer: Home of the Useless

While we don't call them "useless" I think that is how our society feels about the elderly. We put them in nursing homes and just leave them there for the most part. Rand was very insightful.

3. What was the main character guilty of?

Answer: Transgression of Preference

At the council where they decided what job a person would have, Equality desired to go to the House of Scholars.

Answer: True

Equality always had a desire to learn and study that he had to hide for fear of punishment. But he secretly dreamed of going to the House of Scholars so he could discover ways to help his society.

Answer: Street Sweeper

When the council pronounced him street sweeper, Equality asked if they had made a mistake.

12. What is the sacred word?

This small word held such power in a society that allowed no ego.
