With freedom to be who you are and what you are, it is a definition of individuality. People decide on a day to day basis how they want to be perceived. Although, my response to this reaction was not anything close to this one. I wasn't exactly sure on how to take the story when I first read it. I looked at the story as something that unidentified a person but not exactly was from the idea of freedom to decide and perception of self.

I think the author was effective in getting her point across. It makes sense to say that as one does wrong, they are stripped of their rights and in this case, name. It seems like such a little thing to do but in retrospect, it has a large effect on the individuality of that said person.
