A revolutionary is something people dream of becoming, whether you’re George Washington leading a revolution, or you’re the person who created the wheel. The process of creating technology that changes the world is one in a million, many people attempt this feat but many wind up crashing and burning. By paraphrasing Schatzberg’s law we see that, technologies aren’t what’s truly revolutionary, but they are what’s used to create a revolutionary. To see this in its entirety it’s useful to see both
The Virginian The cowboy hero, The Virginian, as portrayed in Owen Wister’s novel was the first of his kind and today is known as the stereotypical mythic cowboy figure which our view of the western frontier are based from. The Virginian was the first full length western novel apart from the short dime novels which marked the final stage in the evolution of the cowboy hero to a national icon.

Of the millions of cowboys,trappers and mountain men camped out in the rugged mountains and long plains of Montana, very few were artists. Even fewer had a dream as big and ambitious as Charlie Russell’s, and nobody shared the amount of respect and love he had for the West. He created art now renowned around the world, and his statue stands in the US Capitol Building representing all of Montana. But what made the cowboy’s art so famous was the way he lived. In 1864, a happy couple lived with their

Zaylee walked past the red sea of dismembered bodies that stacked on to each other in the hallway. She continued to walk through the bodies until she heard a banging sound coming from the janitor’s closet

Evansville, Indiana to pick a subject for my paper. I chose to review the sculpture created by the American artist Frederic Remington. This sculpture was casted by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company in New York in the year 1895 (Evansville Museum of Arts, History, and Science).

It said that Frederic was inspired by horses and accurately depicted them in mediums such as drawings, woodblock
Creators and Parasites in The Fountainhead "The creators concern is the conquest of nature. The parasites concern is the conquest of men," Howard Roark states in his dramatic courtroom speech defending himself after the Cortlandt Homes incident. This quote sums up the two categories of people in rather graphic form. The creator, or non-conformist, being glorified in his attempt to better the very earth itself, independent of the constraints of humanity. The parasite, or conformist, being reduced
STUDY GUIDE ----- The Anthem Chapter 1 1.a. The society that is represented in the novel is futuristic in terms of the actual date, yet incredibly underdeveloped to what we experience today.

between men of greatness and men of mediocrity. An individualist to the core, Rand defines a man of greatness as one who is independent and uncompromising, one who derives his self-respect from his accomplishments and integrity rather than the approval of others. Rand defines a man of mediocrity, by contrast, as one who doesn't care about actually being competent and upright so long as he appears that way to others. Rand refers to these mediocre men as second-handers, because they get their self-respect
Ayn Rand - A False Romantic The Romantic period at its height extended over just a bit more than a century, from the latter half of the eighteenth century through to nearly the end of the nineteenth century. During this period, a new school of poetry was forged, and with it, a new moral philosophy.

individual. His happiness is not satisfied when he must share it universally with all men. Not every man can be as happy as the next, and therefore the forced brotherhood of all men will only deplete the spirits of those who are successful. In Anthem, Rand tells of Equality's joy when he "discovers" electricity. At that moment he knows that the joy of discovery is only his to relish, and that it cannot be shared or manipulated by any other man. In that regard, his own well-being is the end of his striving;
The Powerful Message of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged Capitalism, according to John Galt, is "mutual trade to mutual advantage," (Rand Atlas Shrugged 989) or as Adam Smith put it: "[trade] by mutual consent and to mutual advantage."

Ayn Rand and We the Living "We the Living is not a story about Soviet Russia in 1925. It is a story about Dictatorship, any dictatorship, anywhere, at any time, whether it be Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, or - which this novel might do its share in helping to prevent - a socialist America."
