Fountainhed by Ayn Rand: How not to do a book review

Oct 17, 2006 20:01

Howard Roark, the book's central character believes that man should worhip the greatness of mankind and man should work for his own satisfaction. he doesnt believe that man should do a collective work for the society and anyone who thrives on the work of others are parasites and second handers. he is the hero of ayn rand's masterpiece. his belief is what ayn rand's follower called as OBJECTIVISM.

c ayn rand d i usa ka aethist, russian emigre niadtong uso pa ang communism sa europe ug sa russia. wala cya ganahi sa mga communista ug ni-uyon cya sa pagtu-o sa capitalista, grabe ni cya ka anti-communist ug dinhi niya nakuha ang ubang binhi sa iyahang tinu-ohan nga Objectivism but it is being adopted now-adays as the LIBERTARIAN movement.

samtang nagbasa ko aning libroha, halo-halo ako gibati. naay mga pulong nga c ms. ayn rand nga daw pwerteng ka tinuod ug dali ra kaayo ko nakatu-o pero naa pud siyay mga asoy nga lisud katuhu-an ug magduha-duha ka sa imong hunahuna.

ang estorya mao ni: Howard Roark,

usa

ka loner ug architect nga mu-design ug buildings ug balay accdg sa iyang gusto pero dili cya gusto nga hilabtan iyang mga design sa bo-ut mag-patukod kaniya. Pero

usa

cya ka genius when it comes to designing in matters of air ventilation, spaces, .........ah ....ah ..... basta gud genius jud kuno ni cya nga architect. Libog ug lisud sabton ang dagan sa iyang utok kay before ka mag-padesign niya mupirma ka ug contrata nga dili ka manghilabut sa iyang mga gipang-design. Mao nga wa kaayo cyay mga clients, accdg to him, like minded clients will come and seek him.

Si Peter Keating, another architect character who in the mainstream atong ma-consider nga everybody's man. Kung unsay gusto sa kliyente, na hala , larga. Iyang mga designs walay originality in comparison to Howard Roark, puro mga spin-off sa Roman and Renaissance designs. Tanang tao nagtu-o nga c Peter Keating maoy pinaka-bright ug pinaka-maayo nga architect sa tibouk USA, pero wala sila kahibalo nga sa tanan niyang mga award winning designs, si Howard ang nag han-ay ug nag-porma sa internal and structural lay out. Kutob ra intawn cya sa design sa gawas. Unsa may importante? ang gawas o ang sulod? Peter hates Howard so much because of his inferiority and shame in accepting that their were lots of times that Howard save his ass. Si Dodong Howard pud, dili pud kabalibad ni Peter kung mangayo ug tabang, kay for him its an amusement to see a second hander more rather than his desire to help out. (Praning jud!)

Of course, naa jud tay heroine. C Dominique Francon,

usa

ka newspaper high society columnist nga naay pagka-maldita, michivous ug hait nga manuwat. Sa wala pa sila nagkaila ni dodong howard, duna nay nahitabo nila, gi-rape ni dodong c inday pero c inday wala mupalag kay diha ra kuno siya nakatagamtam ug tumang kalipay sa

usa

ka tao nga walay expectations kaniya isip

usa

ka lover. From that moment, she kept on looking for the man who violated her but not to prosecute him but to offer herself (di a pay laing praning). Until such time nga nakit-an jud niya c dodong but instead of plunging herself to her man, iya kining gi-ridicule, gi-daut, gi-tamay ug gibi-ay biay sa iyang column to punish herself. but their illicit relationship flourished but not sa atong usual nga description. drecho cla chukchak nga way sultihanay then exit dayon, its more of their body desire but it reaches to a point nga their souls meet in this arrangement. no need for words ilang gugma. to punished herself more nagkig-minyo atong inday ni Peter Keating instead of dodong Howard bisag dili niya gusto basta lang nga masakitan siya (way sama sa ka praning!).

Si Elseworth Toohey,

usa

ka cultural comentarista/impressario sa newspaper nga nag-tuo nga ang tao nagkinahanglan nga magbuhat ug maayong butang to improved society. siya maoy anti-thesis ni howard ug sa atong author. daghan kaayo ni siyang gidala nga foundations, organizations and groups to help alleviate mankind kuno. Amigo ni cya ni Peter. Si Else gihimo ni ms rand ug symbol sa mga zealots, opportunists and leeches in society. ti amonang, naa cyay amigo nga gusto niya pahatagon ug building for the displaced children but the friend wanted to be a temple for himself. Else recommend dodong howard. C dodong pud intawn, nagbuhat ug temple to represent the greatness of mankind with a naked sculpture of dominique as a centerpiece but the friend did not like the temple, he expected something like a basilica but howard built him a one story building with lots of spaces and windows to represent the ideals of man. Kahibalo na gud c Else sa mga style ni howard, gisakyan dayon niya ang issue of the ugliness of the temple. Gi-batikos pag ayo niya c howard ug ang iyahang friend. ang nahitabo, the fren gave the building to Else to do whatever he so wishes with it. Ang timamak, gipabuhat dayon niya sa iyahang home for the displaced children. Very sly person!

Gail Wynand, owns the newspaper that ELSE and Domique work. pwerteng pagka-yellow journalism kani iyahang newspaper, it publishes the most scandalous and the most screaming headlines. he's doing it to sway public opinion mostly to sway to his own opinion. during the depression, he was considered as the richest man and the most womanizer. it also in this period that Peter Keating 's firm was not doing well. Kay kuno amigo cla ni Else, gtabanga niya si peter nga makakuha sa Stonebridge housing project which gail own in exchange for his wife Dominique. Gail got Dominique to marry him and divorce Peter. But this was with inday's whole consent because as he got to know GAIL, she found out that GAil and Howard represented to her the same thing, they both believe in the greatness of mankind and what his newspaper represents is not true of the owner. Now, gail wanted to build a house for dominique, guess who he hired, c dodong howard, pero wala kabalo c inday. he just saw some buildings ni dodong and he liked all of them, so he hired dodong. But c dodong ug gail nagkabarkada man hinuuon, as in nagka close jud cla pag ayo. Mag-swimming cla rang duha, mag-chika NGA cla rang duha (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN!!) Gail doesnt know of inday and dodong's past. Kebs ra pud c inday kay kahibalo man cya nga soul brothers c Gail ug Howard.

Then, nagpatabang c Peter ni Howard ug design sa usa ka low cost housing own by the government which is under the influenced of ELSe ang approval. howard saw it as his ultimate opportunity to create, wherein he proves in the greatness and ingenuity of man. he made peter promise not to tell anyone that he designed the building and that there should be no change in the building design after. pero wala man masunod ni peter ang ilang gisabutan, gipang usab man sa mga govt bureaucrats, gi-pun-an ug gym diri, swimming pool didto. pwerteng suko-a ni Howard, iya lang gung gipabuto ang tibuok building den nagpabilin cya sa bombsite after. pwes, gidakop dayon cya ug gi-kasohan. ang newspaper ni gail, grabe ug laban ni Howard, bisag ang ubang newspaper gibatikos pag ayo c howard, laban gihapon to the max c gail. hangtud nga nag =strike ang newspaper workers, strike pud ang advertisers ni gail much to the insistense and silent campaigning of ELSE. the strike was about the issue on why the BANNER (ang newspaper) would insist on the innocence of howard when all the evidence suggested otherwise. it was not about any legitimate cause but if you consider rallying to the underdogs as a worthy cause basig legitimate ang cause. lugi na kaayo ci gail. howard always insisted nga dili cya pa-laban ni gail pero c gail padayon jud. then gi-pugos na jud c Gail sa iyahang board of directors to desist from siding with howard, ni give in c gail, not because he doesnt believe in howard but rather in the futility of the excercise. Bawos pud dayon c Dominique, nag buhat pud cya ug iyahang scandal, niapas ni cya ni howard ug nag pareport-report sa pulis nga nawala iyang bracelet ug kung pwede magdala ug media ang police para naay coverage. Ang ok-ok nagpa-picture man hinuon nga nag- nighty gown sa kwarto ni howard. Gidakop dayon mga newspaper nga ang asawa ni Gail, gi-kabit ni Howard. Is this the way to treat friend who sided with you through hell and back? Mao ni ila gi-singal nila pag- ayo. C inday ug dodong nag-dayon na jud. After that wala na jud mag hinabi-ay c Gail ug Howard. Pero, sa dihang magpatu-kod na si GAil ug building isip iyahang monument si howard iyang gikuha nga architect kay si howard ra jud kunu ang maka-capture sa true spirit of man and of his truest spirit and to translate this into a building.

The end sa storya pero hangtud karon wa pa ko gihapon kasabut sa bout ipasabut. Basig kinahanglan nakong basahon ug usab. basig pud ug kuwang lang ko sa pag-sabut. Daghan kaayong gipanuwat si Ms rand ug mag quotations nga lisud kaayo hubaron. nindot jud ciguro nga ikaw mismo ang mubasa mas meaningful ug touching ug personal ang imong experience.
