As the final exam next week will include an essay on "Anthem", we carefully reviewed Marcos' study guide answers on Chapters 11 and 12 which examine the novel's philosophy and theme. Marcos had some questions on Rand's use of the phrase " a creed of corruption" . In order to clarify that phrase we studied the language before and after the quote to assist him in locating in the textual basis for Rand's characterization. We additionally focused on Rand's explanation for the "collapse of society" being caused by the worship of the word "We". Marcos supplemented his study guide responses accordingly. Last, we reviewed the organization of his essay on "Gathering of Old Men" and Alice Wallker's " Tribute" and noted ways to better support and to organize the essay . For homework, I assigned rewriting the essay per my comments.
