"What the two men shared was the knowledge that they were individuals. (page 67)"
Hmmm. I think this sentence is particularly interesting because these two men live in a society where conformity is mandatory. It's bizarre that the idea the men share is that they are different. I know it's not that big of a deal, but it's odd that the unifying factor to this friendship, or at least bond, is their differences.
I also think it's strange that this society is all about conformity and homogeneous personalities while our society today is all about individuality. I think this book is futuristic, so I wonder what the author imagined happened to change all society so drastically! *ALERT!* Once again, my lacking attention span has brought me to an epiphany! I was just looking at the Casey Anthony case, and maybe it's small(not that the death of a child is small at ALL) incidents such as this(if she is guilty), where the government goes against human rights to push their own agenda. That seems like what happened yesterday, so maybe the BNW society isn't as far-fetched as I originally thought.
