Ayn Rand's 'Call Of The Wild'
OPINION

“The Call of the Wild” is about a dog named Buck transitioning into a new lifestyle to where he has to have a job, and get up everyday doing the same things. Whereas before he could just be a dog. He had such a rough time transitioning into his new life, that now he is free to do what he wants is so much easier than it would have been. My opinion about this book is that I couldn't understand what was happening in the book. Also the book in my opinion was a little tiring. The movie had more detail, and I could picture it better. I did enjoy the last few chapters, starting when Buck pulled 1000 pounds all by himself. I also liked when Charlie came to John to help him, or bring him home. No, I did not enjoy the book. I think

    In the philosophical epic of Ayn Rand, entitled Atlas Shrugged, Rand allows much room for interpretation as to the meaning of the title of her work. As the reader progresses through the different stages of the book, their translation of the title and its relation to the story evolves. Through parts one and two of the book, one could interpret the title to represent two things: First, it suggests that, Francisco D'Anconia, a titan within the copper and mining industry, is Atlas. It was his strategic collapse of D'Anconia mines that seemed to shake the economy, with his rebellion creating a ripple effect that devastated the economy, as if Atlas used the rest of his strength to make the world suffer. It also, however, indicated to be in reference…

    Personally, I liked the book better than the movie. Although the book was confusing at certain points, for example when the chief would refer to the fog, it went into greater detail and was more interesting than the movie. The director changed the movie around for entertainment purposes rather than directly following all the events from the novel. The mood of the characters comparing the book and the movie differ. Each character is depicted in a different way in the movie setting a dissimilar temperament every scene.…

    When the narrator of The Road to Ein Harod discovers that a military coup has taken place in his country and that anyone who is against the coup is being brought together or killed, he leaves Tel Aviv hoping that he can make it to a place called Ein Harod. A utopian kibbutz in which democracy and resistance is still alive and a place where he can be with his family and finally be happy. The narrator’s journey to Ein Harod is not an easy one, though. For instance, it is filled with many different kinds of horrifying crimes. When the narrator finally arrives at Ein Harod, he finds out that it does not exist. All he sees is evidence of the natural world, such as trees, grass, and animals. It is also interesting to him that there are no signs that…

    In this passage, it's basically a psyofrantic person point of view. Because the person hears people telling him stuff. For Example, "I know that I felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line. I had stepped out of my body-I could see my body asleep in front of the cold fire, but it was not I."(Paragraph 4)…

    The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details, and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie, but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book.…

    In “The Difference Between Us” the program begins by discussing how for several hundreds of years, we’ve classified people into separate “races” by external differences; e.g. eye shape, hair texture, the color of skin, etc., not because we found biological reasons but purely because we look different so therefore we must be genetically different. Science has measured, poked and prodded man in the search for anything that will, conclusively, prove we are different, but nothing has been found. Because the modern human race has only been around for about 100,000 years, not long enough to develop the genetic differences necessary to create different subspecies, and some experts believe that all of the human race can trace their beginnings back…

    Everyone deserves to enjoy what they like, even if other people don't like it. Some may say censorship is beneficial because it keeps us away from harmful content. But I believe that books like The call of the Wild should not be banned or censored. Censorship takes away freedom from the creators, takes away freedom from the readers, and it’s a pointless thing to do.…

    "This is a foul place. They are damned who touch the things of the Unmentionable Times" (Rand 32-33). The unmentionable times, Equality’s past and our present, is depicted as a terrible period, meant to be forgotten due to the near destruction of the Human Race it seemingly caused. The world of Anthemis is extremely technologically inept, literally as far back as the Dark Ages, using torches and candles for light. Scientific and technological progress in this society is almost non-existent. It is implied that because of technology and knowledge available to any single man, the world was almost destroyed.…

    In contrast to our present day society in which we are moving towards collectivism, Ayn Rand’s Anthem depicts a collectivist society which is disrupted by Prometheus, the protagonist, ensuing in the creation of a newfound individualistic society separate from the original civilization. “The will of the Council is above all things” (34) in Prometheus’ society; they dominate the people’s occupation, living situation, and the knowledge they have access to.…

    Ayn Rand met her expectations, and along with everyone else. By writing this speculative fiction she has pointed out how people want others to be in the world, but in a more dramatic tense. As Thomas Jefferson said, ¨All men are created equal¨. They may be created equal when they are born, but some strive to do great things while others wait. We are our own individual. Choices made are up to us not others. We are all created different, and meant to be different. That is the whole meaning of diversity.…

    Throughout history and today, it is known that most people want fit in and not be different and if someone isn’t like everyone else it is a bad thing. For those who do strive to be different kind find it difficult not to be put down or made fun of just because they are trying to be individuals. This is clearly an issue in our society and the society in the book Anthem by Ayn Rand. The theme of Ayn Rand’s Anthem is individuality can outweigh society’s expectations. In Anthem the dystopian society says it is a sin to be different and you will essentially be punished or at least disrespected if you are different than the rest of this city. In the first couple pages the theme already starts to show:…

    1. Is Rand correct that if you accept altruism, then you end up with a lack of self-esteem and a lack of respect for others? I think Rand is wrong about altruism because, not everyone wants help; therefore it is not another persons obligation to help another if they don’t want to. When we help someone it should come from the heart not because we feel as though we have to, also when we give, without expecting in return that is true charity. However, it has nothing to do with neither lack of self-esteem nor lack of respect for others. It’s like a baby who is learning to walk. Do we continue to help the baby walk, if we do the baby may become overly dependent, and will never learn on it’s own. Now aren’t we hurting the baby by doing this? I would think so.…
