The Fountainhead: Peter Keating

Though Peter Keating is without a doubt a bastard, I cannot say that I hate him, or even really dislike him, though I do not really like him either, in some ways my feelings toward him are neutral, if anything I think I feel pity or sympathy for him in some ways, but I still have the deep down desire to see Roark crush him. 

I think I understand Keating's feelings toward Roark. Keating has no real passion or love for what he does, and he is not even particularly good at it, most of his best works have really been done at the hands of Roark. Keating just knows how to move ahead, how to use people and manipulate them, but architecture really means nothing to him. He himself never wanted to go into the field it was his mother that pushed him to it. The only thing that Keating strives for is to feel like he is important, to be somebody to achieve greatness in the world, and architecture is simply the tool he is using for this means. In this way knows that he is a fraud, and that is the root of his constant insecurity in everything. 

He knows that Roark is the true genius, Roark has passions for his work, ideals, and convictions. And it does not matter how successful that Keating becomes, and how obscure that Roark might be, as long as Roark keeps his ideals he will always be a threat to Keating, he will always be taunting Keating and looming over him. Keating feels like he is living the shadow of Roark. 

In a way I think this is the reason why Keating feels so driven to try and push Roark into not being so stubborn, and into comprising his ideals, and submitting to just become "one of them" Because even though he knows that if Roark did that, his skill would soar above Keating's and he would likely soon become one of the most noted architects, in a way it would put Keating on equal footing with him, knowing that Roark had to give something up, that he was just like everyone else. He would always feel a certain satisfaction in that knowledge, and it Roark sacrificed his ideals, it would lesson his threat to Keating. 

What Keating fears most of all is Roark somehow succeeding on his own terms. Because of this happens, Keating fears he will be shown as the fraud that he truly is. He will be proven wrong. No matter where Roark is in the world or what becomes of him, as long as he holds onto his convictions, and ideals he will pose a threat to Keating. For as long as Roark believes in something greater than himself, it will serve to remind Keating constantly, that the only thing he believes in is himself and his own greatness. 

In some ways, he knows, and feels he does not deserve his position, he knows that Roark, really should be the one, and the only thing holding Roark back, is Roarks passion and dedication to his work and his unwillingness to do produce something he cannot respect.

The Fountainhead: Howard Roark

I have just recently started reading The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand and I have to say I have grown truly obcessed with this book. It is completely entrhalling and fascinating. Whenever I sit down to read, I just gobble it up. And can never stand to stop and pull myself away from reading it. I have just finnished Part 1: Peter Keeting, so I just had to share some of my thoughts on the book up to the point I have read thus far.

First of all I have to say I love Howard Roark, there is something about his whole manner, the way in which he is so disconnected with the world, and moves through it without giving a single thought to what others things, that is so highly appealing to me.

I love the way in which within the book people often remark that when he looks at you, it makes you feel as if you do not exist.

As odd as it might seem, I both respect him, and envy him. I envy this confidence and his calm and almost carefree manner in the face of opposition and diversity, and the way in which he always seems so certain of himself no matter his situation.

When it came to the Bank Commission that he was offered, I was quite divided, a part of me so desperately wanted him to accept their compromise and the commission because he did need it so badly, and because I wanted him to succeed I wanted him to rise up in a position where he could actually pose a reasonable threat to all those nae sayers that would never take him seriously.

But on the other hand, another part of me, was quite delighted that he did not forfeit his ideals, that he stayed true to his art, no matter what the cost of doing so might be.

I truly envy that because if I were in his position, if I were offered the opportunity of a lifetime that could really propel my career forward, but the cost of it was to have to make one little sacrifice to my art. I think for the sake of the future, I just might have taken it, with the hope that in doing so I would be able to earn the position of never having to make another sacrifice again. I do not think I could walk away the way in which Howard Roark did and so I admire that greatly.

For if he had done it, if he agreed to it, than all the "Old boys" would simply see it as his finally coming over and that he finally "grew up" and saw reason, and that he submitted. And that would be a terrible thing.

If success is within his future, I think it should be purely on his own terms, and not anyone else's.

I do have some more I would like to say regaurding the character of Peter Keeting which I shall do at a later time.

My Observations

Though my participation in Lit. Discussion forum, there is something I could not help but to notice. I do not know the reasons for it, or just what it means, if it really means anything at all, but I found it pesonally interesting, and it is what I have experinced.

It seems to me that people whom read different authors have very distinct personlaity traits. I read a wide range of different things so I have partkane in a vairty of different discussions of different books and authors on the forum, and this is what I happend to notice.

People whom read D.H. Lawrence tend to be very agreeable, they seem like a frinedly, and laid back group that are pleasent and ejoybale to hold discussions with. They are always very respectful, and beyond that they are quite nice and curtious. Though they do not always have the same opinons or persepctives, more then just resepcting the thoughts of others, they also encourage and welcome different ideas, even if those ideas may be different from thier own. They hold intelligent discussions that are a pleasure to partake in and have a very relaxed air, even when things can get quite philosophical.

Those that read George Orwell seem to be a tad more critical, but still very resepctful, and never really hostile. They may be a bit more forceful with thier own thoughts and opinions, they still allow others to disagree or provide a different persepctive without being personal or arugmentitive about it. And all in all it is still intresting and pleasent to partake in thier discussions and debates.

But those whom read Charlotte Bronte, and I should say Jane Eyre in paritcular, because that is the only thing of hers I have read thus far, so it is the only discussion of the author I have partook in, are very agressive. They are extrmely hostile to those that have differnet opinions, they are down right argumentitive and further more insulting to those that happen to have a different view point then they do. Thier debates seem to lack any real intelligence, becuase of the millitance in which they express thier views and seem to be just of the vien of I am right, and you are wrong, and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid, just using fancier words. I have made the decision to no longer attempt to partake in any of the Jane Eyre discussions even though I really enjoyed the book becasue it is just downright unpleasent.

People of the Fire

I have this obcession and fascination with books about Native Americans, Prehistoric People, or Primitive tribal types. I think Island of the Blue Dolphins is what first caused this interest I have in such liteature, becasue it ranks among one of my faveoirte books, and I thought it was just a wonderful story. In a way I think a part of me is almost on a quest to find the next Island of the Blue Dolphins and though that has not happend yet, I am currently reading this Prehisortic America series by Micheal Gear and Kathleen O'Neak Gear. Though they are perhaps not the most remarkbaly memorable books I have ever read and not the best writing I have ever come acorss, they are still good books and I am enjoying the story and they have thier aeras of interest, and I do find them rather easy to read.

I am currentely on the second book People of the Fire and for me one of the most fascinating and intresting parts of this book, and well my faveorite part of the book thus far, is this little aside, I guess you would call it. It is part of the main story, but it is also set a part from it in a way.

In the first book People of the Wolf there was this powerful dreamer known as the Wolf Dreamer, and now in the second book the Wold Dreamer is a spirit watching and looking over the People. There is also a powerful talisman or charm, called the Wold Bundle, and at the end of almost every chapter, there are these little conversations between the Wolf Dreamer and the Wolf Bundle and thier observations of what is happening with the People and what it could mean for the future, and the Wolf Dreamer is alwyas very patient and belives in just watching and seeing where things lead, and trusting in fate so to speak or what he calls the spirals of the world. But the Wolf Bundle gets impaitint and wants to take a more active role in what is happening, and is always wanting to use his power to strike down and kill those that he sees and interfering but the Wolf Dreamer always holds him back.

The other thing that is kind of interesting about the books, is that at the begining there is this Introduction that takes place in the modern age where someone will be working on a site that had been where the tribes had once lived long long ago, and the modern people will find artifacts from those that had once lived there, and then it will go into the story of the ancient people.

Things I learn from books

It is no wonder that reading as much as I do I might learn a thing or two from the books, but sometimes the things that I do learn from reading can be quite unexepcted and perhaps a bit currious. I have just learned from a book the perfect way in which to cut bread, particuarly a fresh loaf. In the past no matter what type of knife I used or how sharp or new or old it might have been whenever I tried to attempt to slice a loaf of bread I always ended up murduring it in one way or another. Either I would rip and tear the bread, or get uneven slices, or just smash and squish the bread trying to cut it.

Well in this book I am reading, there is this character named Don Lark, and he renovates old houses and then sells them, so he just recently began work on a house when a pair of old laides that lived next to the house he was working on intived him over for super, and he had sliced the fresh baked bread they had made. And he talked about how the best way to slice fresh bread without messing it up, was with a constand steady sawying and genlte downard motion.

So I was slicing some bread today, and the first peice came out like all the others do, when I suddnely thought of the book so I figured what could it hurt? So I began to slice the bread as recomended by Don Lark, and low and behold it worked. I have never cut a more perfect slife fom bread before.

Animal Farm

Well I just finnished reading Animal Farm today and all in all it was a pretty good book, though I must say that it seems that Orwell has a very bleak view of the future, I perahps am no optimist but I do not think I near as bad as it seems he is.

But with that aside, I have to say one thing which kind of dissapointed me about the book, though I know that it was ment to be a metaphor, and not to be viewed as litteral, I was still a bit unhappy about the fact that the horses within the book were made out to appear as rather stupid animals, considering that horses are in fact quite intelligent.

I would have to say that I think Benjerman and the cat, whose name I forget were a couple of my faveorite characters though they did not have very large roles. Mostly I liked them for the fact that it seemed they just were going to do what they wanted with little regard for what was going on around them. Though they would not act to change anything, they also were not truly so readily brainwashed or convinved as for them it made no difference they held themselves apart.

I did almost cry about what happend to poor Boxer, though he could not see the truth for what it was, he was truly a nobel animal that was treated in a most cruel fassion.

Reading such books as this and 1984 it does make me currious as to just what Orwell's political views might have been, as it seems he comes off as almost an anarchist for he comes out so stauntly against all forms of government it seems.

Skywater

I just finnished reading this book Skywater by Melinda Worth Popham, and I was surprised by how good of a story it really was, I very much enjoyed the book, more so then I had first thought I would. I thought the author did a very unique and interesting job with the story and brought a certian realisim and belivablity to it that many such stories seem to lack.

Skywater was the story about a Coyote known as Brand X, and he lived in the desert in Texas, and originally Brand X with 6 other coyotes were gathered around this area becasue there was this couple of old people that lived there out in the middle of nowhere, and the animals used thier water tank for a drinking hole, but the water came from a ground well and it was discovered that the water was becoming contiminated by the mines in the area so the couple drove the animals off from drinking from it and then let it dry up.

So Brand X goes on this quest that is in part a spiritual jouney was well as a quest for survial. He need a knew place to drink from and decides to find what the coyotes call Skywater. Becasue the sky is blue like water is, in the mind of the coyotes the sky is a vast celeistial plain of endless water in which the spirits rise up to drink from. And so Brand X is determined to find the place where Skywater meets the land and he as a living being can drink from it.

One of the things I really liked the book, is unlike other such animal stories, it is not made to look cartoonish, that is the animals do not all talk to each other the way people talk to each other and the way they see the world is really different, the author takes the reader into the mind of the coyote, of course it is only thier preception of it, but it is done with the feel or realisim. The coyotes are given a sort of spiriality as well as a primitive and yet intelligent view of the world, that seems very much akin in someways to Native American spirituality.

I really rather ejoyed this story though there were parts that were quite sad and maddening.

Passage from The Silver Wolf

I thought this passage was quite beautiful and in harmony with my own personal beleifs. It is from the book The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

To the wolf there was no right or wrong, good or evil. There was only the pattern and she was part of the patter. To judge as the woman did was as foregin to her nature as were hope and despair.

To the wolf, the world was a tapestry of things given--sunrises scarlet, then gold; sunsets arrayed in purple shadow and bloody light; plains awash in tall grasses and mountains drifting against blue skies; and gray storms that rose, coalescing seemingly out of nothing in the upper air, then roaming at random, drenching the earth with rain. Spending thier fury in wild bursts of lightening.

Life was part of the pattern and death, too, as were blood and pain. She herself had struggled uncountable times, sodden with suffering, down the long, dark path into starless night. But this, too was part of the pattern, part of the seamless tapestry of light and darkness whose only assurance was its own endless ever-changing repetition, always different, yet the same forever.

The pattern was beauty, somehow always in everlasting harmony with itself. Beautuy was! Ugiliness, saddnes, despair, were human judgements imposed by lesser frightend minds on the whole shinning spectrum of reality whose boundries the wolf couldn't even dimly comprehend.

Books, violence and sex!

The more I see of people the more I think what a freak I really must be, afterall it cannot be just the whole rest of the world is crazy can it? There is something of which I have increasingly noticed, and it just really came to my attention today. I happend upon this Historical Lit. forum which I recently joined becasue I love historical fiction. And there was a discussion about Ken Folletts book The Pillars of the Earth of which I am currnetly reading, and I love it. But I noticed a lot of people seem to have complaints against it becasue of the pressence of violence and rape within the book, though to my mind I have not read a single historical fiction that did not have these things. But that aside it has happend more then once in which I have seen a book critized solely based on the fact of its including scenes of rape within its writing.

And I have to say, I am never much bothered by the apperance of such in books. Sure it is uncomftrable to read, but I do not think that writing such makes a book bad, and I do not think a book of an author should be critized for it, particuarly if it is done in a way that complys with the story, of course with everything there can be extrmes and going overboard, but in my opinon this is not the case with The Pillars of the Earth or most other books I have read. I think he writes it very well into the story and it helps shape the characters to be who they are. Not to mention the fact that the way I see it, if you are going to write a historical fiction you cannot just leave out the not nice parts, and there was lots of violence and lots of rape in the past. That is just the pointed truth.

But I found this currious so on this other lit forum I post at, I put the topic up for discussion, and the very first person to respond was against it.

This got me thinking on an odd twist if irony in all of this that never before really occured to me. There are countless movies that have had scenes of rape within them, but I cannot recall ever having heard a person state they disliked a movie purely based on the fact that it included scenes of rape and yet authors and liteature seem to get slammed for it.

The Golden Compass Controversy

Well I do not know anything about the Golden Compass books or the author, but I have seen the previwes for the movie and think it looks good and want to see it, but I have recently heard of some controversy that has emerged around the movie and the books.

Well it prpobably is not a big surprsie who it is that have begun the controversy, of course, certain Christain groups.

Apperently the author of the Golden Compass is an athiest and some of his views are expressed within his writing, though the movie apperently really down plays that part of it, certain people beleive that after seeing the movie unknowing parents will then go out and buy the books for thier childern, and then of course, the childern will become corrupted and thier souls endangerd.

Though of course they do not any anything wrong with Lewis Carollol and his Chronicles of Narnia and the fact that those books are aimed at childern, and have clear strong religious messages contained within.

Though personaly when it comes down to it, I do not think it will matter one bit to a child, I remember when I was a child I loved The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and never once as a child did it occur to me, this story is an analogy for Christ, and it certiantly has not turned me into a Christian, so I do not think after reading The Golden Compass, there is going to be a surge of childern becoming atheists.

A Farewell

To fellow Wheel of Time fans, sometime ago, I beleive I had posted the news I just heard about him being ill with some rare disease, but as of Yesturday he has died. This comes from a Blog of his:

It is with great sadness that I tell you that the Dragon is gone. RJ left us today at 2:45 PM. He fought a valiant fight against this most horrid disease. In the end, he left peacefully and in no pain. In the years he had fought this, he taught me much about living and about facing death. He never waivered in his faith, nor questioned our God’s timing. I could not possibly be more proud of anyone. I am eternally grateful for the time that I had with him on this earth and look forward to our reunion, though as I told him this afternoon, not yet. I love you bubba.

Our beloved Harriet was at his side through the entire fight and to the end. The last words from his mouth were to tell her that he loved her.

Thank each and everyone of you for your prayers and support through this ordeal. He knew you were there. Harriet reminded him today that she was very proud of the many lives he had touched through his work. We’ve all felt the love that you’ve been sending my brother/cousin. Please keep it coming as our Harriet could use the support.

Jason will be posting funeral arrangements.

My sincerest thanks.

Peace and Light be with each of you,

Wilson
Brother/Cousin

Implications

I have recently started reading this new book, and it is intresting so far, but there was this one scene in particular that I found quite intresting, and I think really speaks to the nature of humans, and the human physchology.

There is this man who is subletting this flat he has just beneath his own home, and he is about to meet the new renter for the very frist time, who happens to be this rather mysterous and strange woman. So she knocks on the door, and he goes to asnwer it, and for a moment she is just standing there not saying anything and then out of nowhere she prenounces. "Your neighbor is a thief" thouhg she gives no reason or explination, that is all she says.

Now we do not know ezacdtly how long the man has been living there, but you get the impression it has been a while, and he kows his neighbor, has had his neighbor over at his house before, and other then the fact he finds his company a bit annoying ther is nothing to suggest he has had any other porblems with his neighboor, but now all of the sudden becasue of something some complete strange stated he has started becomming paranoid about his neighboor and watching him out of the corrner of his eye.

Sons and Lovers

I just finnished reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence, and it was a rather enjoyable book, having already read Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence, there is something that is just so unique about his writing that I have noticed and which appeares within his books, the way in which he deals with relationships, and emotions, which I think I have touched upon before after I read Rainbow but he has a way of really looking at the rawness of people, of going down into the soul and pulling up all those things people keep to themselves and exposing and expressing in the physical realm.

D.H. Lawrence, also has a very intresting way in which he portrays women in his books, if you consider the fact that he is in fact writing before women even have the right to vote, within his books he always has very strong female charachters, and he expresses the imporantce, and the need for a woman's quest for independence, both Rainbow and Sons and Lovers  express as an element of the story the struggle of women trying to find a place for themselves within the work world and trying to find some equality.

He also writes about themses that could be seen as contriverisal for the era in which he is writing. For example, in Sons and Lovers one of the key elements of the story envolves this love affair, between a man and a married woman whom merely split with her husband, but never acutally saught to get an offical divorce from him. And they are together very publicaly and very openly.

I would have to say that I really have come to enjoy the writing style of D.H. Lawrence from what I have read to him before, one of the other things which i found quite intresting about Sons and Lovers was the relationship between Paul, and his Mother. In many reguards Paul treated his mother and his affections towards her, the way he spoke of her and thought of her, was very much like that of a lover, though it was not physcially inccestial, it was almost emotionaly inccestial, for Paul could never quite find another woman that could satisify him as well as his mother did, and her purposfully seemed to aviod any truly comittied relationships, he would act as if he wished to get married, but then find some way out of doing so.

Though I have to say the end of the story is pretty brutal.

A Confusion of Names

I just realized that something rather amsuing and perhaps a touch embrassing just happend to me. I was in this old/used book store becasue those are my faveorite kind and I saw this book on this discount rack called Lord Stephen's Lady by Janette Radcliffe, and well the book looked very Victorian and the title was very Victorian and I knew that there was a well known Victorian gothic writer name Radcliffe, and so I was quite excited about this find and wanted to read the book becasue I have been wanting to read Radcliffe ever sense I heard of her, because of my enjoyment for Victorian Lit. so I get the book and I read it, and for the most part I did enjoy the story and it met all the proper qualifications for a Victorian Gothic novel, but I was midely dissapointed becaue it was not quite as adventurous or exciting as I was lead to belive Radcliffe was.

So today I was doing some research for a topic I wanted to post on my Literary Forum The Silver Quill, and I came to uncover my mistake.

Jannet Radcliffe is not a Victorian writer at all, she is more or less a modern (from the 70's-80's) Histoical Romance writer, so yes I read a Romance novel and acutally enjoyed it as horrid as that is. But I will give her cridiet she wrote the genre well, for one whom is familliar with Victorian Lit. I never once suspected while reading the book that it was anything but, it fit in well enough with previous Victorian books I have read other then it just was not as quite as styliized and dramatic as I had always been lead to beleive my Radcliffe was.

The Redcliffe I was acutally looking for is in fact Jodelyn Radcliffe

The Cult of the Amateur

Flipping through the channels I happend to come upon this rather intresting debate upon Book TV C-Span, it was discussing this book called The Cult of the Amateur, by Andrew Keen, and he was debating with Lev Grossman, from a book critic from Time Magazine, and Jeff Howell an edititor for Wired.

And Keen is this big internet critic whom has a very pesstimisstic view of the way the internet is run, and the sort of chaotic anything goes atmeospher of it, and one of the things he focusue's as the title of his book suggusts is the fact that on the internet, you do not have to have any credentionals or cridiblity, to anything you do. It is ruled by Amateur's you do not have to be a profressional in any field, if you have something to say or something you want people to see you can just put it out there and there is no one to stop you. And some of the things he discusses and critizes are Wikipedia, You Tube, Blogging, etc... and about the way people who he calles media illterate might just take the infomration they see on the internet at face vaule.

Though I disagree with a lot of the points he made, I think he does bring up a very relevent and intresting discussion and I do want to read his book. I am aslo happy to be one of his rare female critics, becasue in the debate, he mentioned how the majority of the people that critize him are all male and the majority of his supporters are female, becasue he was talking about how he feels that the world of the internet is just as male dominated, as tradidtional media is.

So it was all very fascinating I found.

Native Son

I just finnished reading Native Son by Richard Wright, and it was a rather intresting book and proved a difficult one to try and rate, the main reason is becasue it was a good story and well writtin and I really like the way the chapers were set up but through the first half of the book I just found it difficult to really connect with the main character. I did not have any particular feelings for him one way or another. I did not know if I should root against him or for him. I did not really like him, but then I did not particuarly dislike him. Which made it difficult to really engange in the book, but then in the last chapter you really get a stronger feeling for the chacacter.

One of the things I liked the book as it did choice a very contraverisal sort of hero for the story. The other thing, that I thought was really original and well down, was the book was set up in three sections.And they were titled Fear, Flight, and Fate. And in each of the sections, that emotion/idea portrayed in the title was sort of the focous of everything that happend in that chapter in one form or another. Like the first section was all about Fear, and everything being driven by fear, and not just the fear of the main character but it was somethign that rippled through everyone envolved and so on.

It is a good read.

1984

Well I just got done reading the book 1984, and it was an intresting book and I enjoyed it, but there are just a few things I felt like discussing and anylyzing that were in the book, though it is not meant to really by a critique, or an argument against the book, just some musings of mine.

To those whom have not yet read the book, I prewarn you that in the following, I will be discussing and giving away some of the things which happend, you may not wish to read if you plan on reading the book and want to be surprised.

First of all the one thing that really annoyed and bothered me, and that I just don't understand. Is when Winstone and Juila were first captured, when they were in the room of the old pawn shop. They knew right then and there that they were dead. That they would be taken away, tourtured and eventurally killed and there was no hope for anything else. So why didn't they at least make it difficult on the Party, if they knew they had nothing left to loose, even if they couldn't acutaly have hope to escape, they should have at least tried to bust some balls, and draw some blood, and do something.

If I ever get in a situation where I am backed up in a corner like that, then I am going to be one savage, rabid, mofo, I do not care if there is whole army surrounding me, I am not going to just hang my head and make thier job easy on them, I am going to give them something to think about, and hurt as many as possible.

The other thing that I noticed, was that most of everything that occured in the book was at least scientifcally plausable, and could be done with the right technology, but then there was that whole telepathy thing just thrown in without much of an explaination, where O'Brian just so happend to know everything the Winston was thinking, and you know maybe that was suppose to be part of the whole "Big Brother" Is wathicn you thing, and even knows what you are thinking and there is no escape, but even if you beleived in the possiblity of telepathy it is not something I do not think that it is something that someone can just say "Hey I am going to be telepahtic"

And lastly just a little something I mused over, as the whole Room 101 where O' Brian says that there is that one thing that everyone finds to be uneurable and they make each person face thier own deepest fears. I just could not help but to wonder, and perhaps part of it is just my way of looking for a way to beat the system as it were, but first of all what if a persons worst fear was of something that simply did not exsist, or was impossible. What if soemones worst nightmare was a product of thier own imgination. Or what if it was something that just was not physically tangeable or replicated. What if it was an eternalized fear not based on something in the outside world. Or something to really contemplate, what if you worse fear, was the very thing that they wished to obtain. What if the one thing that would be most undurable to you, would be to Love the Party.
