Atlas Shrugged Part III Ch 5 & 6

Ch 5 Their Brothers’ Keepers

Copper wires keep breaking. The continued breakdown of machinery plunges TT into a bygone era where they must use lanterns to signal the trains. The bad guys, high on their new conquest of Argentina and the d’ Anconio copper mines realize a gut wrenching truth - there are no copper mines left. Francisco’s work (which they were counting on to finance their greed) is gone. And so is he.

Ch 6 The Concerto of Deliverance

The bad guys in government try to trap Rearden into working while they implement a Steel Union. His entire family begs him to stay and work himself to death to provide for them. He sees them for what they are, selfish bitches. While driving back to his Mills Rearden swerves and discovers Wet Nurse lying on the side of the road, barely alive. He has been shot because of his loyalty to Rearden. Tony tells Hank how the gov guys organized a violent mob which is even now attacking the factory. Rearden goes to see the situation and is attacked immediately. Francisco d’Anconio saves him yet again. This time Hank is ready to talk.

My thoughts: I think the sex scene could have been better... Js.

Do you guys mind if we condense the next two weeks? I want to get this finished before the Summit. That would mean next week is four chapters and we will be DONE!
