Social system of the dystopian world in Ayn Rand’s Anthem

  2. Compare the social system of the dystopian world in Ayn Rand’s Anthem with the social system in Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day. What sorts of family structures exist in each society? How are people’s mates and sex partners chosen, and how is it decided who is allowed to have children? How do those relationships affect people’s living arrangements? How similar or dissimilar are the social relations in each society to those of mid-century America? How does each novel represent self-chosen, pair-bonded families as a criticism of the social relations of the collectivized society? MLA STYLE 1. When quoting or paraphrasing from a work, include the author’s name and the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. For example: In criticizing Eliza's behavior, Selby writes to Boyer: "I am quite a convert to Pope's assertion, that `Every woman is, at heart, a rake'" (Rowson 53). Note the use of double and single quotation marks and the placement of final periods. (Periods and commas always go inside quotations marks, except before parenthetical documentation.) 2. You should append a Works Cited page to the end of your paper. The words "Works Cited" (no quotation marks) should appear at the top of the list. The list can appear on the last page of text or on a separate page. The entries should be double-spaced throughout and should follow the following format: Author's last name, first name. Title of work. Publisher, Year of publication. Please note the "hanging paragraph" style--first line flush left, all other lines indented 1/2-inch. Also note that titles of full-length works (novels, epics, plays, books of poems) should be italicized. Titles of shorter works (sermons, short stories, short poems, essays, one-act plays) should be enclosed in quotation marks. (Look at the way I have punctuated the titles on the syllabus if you have any doubts.)
