Governmental Systems/ Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
7-10 page research paper on the following event that takes place within the novel Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and develop a connection to the greater meaning it represents in the novel AND to the current society.
*The interaction between Hank Reardon and Dr.Potter requesting Reardon stop producing his metal (pages 178-182).
2) Once you have established the connection between the issue and the novel in its entirety, develop a stronger connection to our greater society.
3) Locate between 4 and 7 sources that you canuse to prove your perspective in regards to our world’s connection to events depicted in the book. Use valid news sources, magazines, journals and web sites to support your position (Editorials are not valid). Of the resources, websites that are focused on Ayn Rand or her philosophy are also not valid for the purposes of this paper. You are responsible for connecting the book to society today, not an opinion piece from an online source. Further, of the resources selected, only TWO can be from websites.
The selected sources will all be cited properly within the paper, as well as on a works cited page, in CORRECT MLA 8 format.
4) Develop a thesis statement that provides an insight into the connection between the real world and novel. The thesis statement provides an insight into the connection between the real world and novel. The thesis should include a conclusion that can be drawn in regards to the bigger picture that is only alluded to.
5) Discuss the chosen event in regards to its importance to Rand’s novel and then as a reflection of society today. Be sure to address the ultimate impact of the event(s) on society as a whole. You may wish to trace the event(s) from inception to current form, showing the destructive path or relevant outcome, as you see it.
Note: I have to turn the paper in to turnitin.com which makes sure there is no plagiarism involved. Also, my school has a database with resources to help with a username and password I can give you that if you’d like. Also, my professor explains that the database is not counted as a website resource, so it can count as another resource. The essay has to end with an MLA 8 format citation page. Thank you
