Chapter 3-6

In the story Anthem by Ayn Rand, Equality 7-2521 discovers electricity in the story it says that he uses the lightning out of the sky to make his power and he connects wires and they produce light. This discovery is really important to Equality 7-2521 because he thinks that if he gives it to the scholars the council will forgive him for all the sins he committed. So it is basically a get out of jail free card in his opinion, and it might work in the story he imagines the whole world basically powered by the sky. He thinks he will also become part of the scholars instead of being a street sweeper.
