I am. I think. I will.

Due Monday, 9/22
.
1.) Read Ayn Rand's Biography. Her life and environment very closely shaped her literary philosophy and is imporant to have this background prior to reading her work.
.
* 2.) There are several terms you will need to be familiar with in order to understand the social and political motifs which run throughout all of Ayn Rand's writing. Define to the best of your ability and in your own words the following terms on your blog page;
  • Collectivism
  • Individualism
  • Socialism
  • Capitalism
  • Communism

* 3.) Read Ayn Rand's essay on Man's Rights and her essay on Collectivized "Rights" and post an analytical response on your blog (minimum three paragraphs) comparing/contrasting the two articles. Be sure to cite specific selections from the essays in your analysis and to support any opinions with corresponding evidence from the text.

* These can be posted either as one blog entry or two seperate ones as long as both #2 and #3 are addressed sufficiently.
