Imagine a world in which the word "I" has been abolished. When we've finished Lord of the Flies we will begin Ayn Rand's Anthem, a future world not unlike 1984, without Orwell's horrific vision that we are all doomed to conform.

The society of Anthem looks only at the group as a whole. Individuality is against the law. You are a part of a group. Only. Personality, independent thinking, the ideals of individualism are only the memories of old people. Imagine that world if you will.

To remind you of the direction we're going, listen to and interpret the lyrics to George Harrison's "I Me Mine" (Beatles Let It Be). But remember, "I" has been abolished.

I Me Mine

All through the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
All through the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Ev'ryone's weaving it,
Coming on strong all the time,
All thru' the day I me mine.
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine,
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one's frightened of playing it
Ev'ryone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through the day I me mine.
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine,
I-me-me mine, I-me-me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
No-one's frightened of playing it
Ev'ryone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through your life I me mine.
