ATLAS SHRUGGED Part III Ch 3 & 4
Ch 3
Dr. Stadler is brought to witness Project X, something he knows nothing about, as it’s called the greatest achievement of the State Science Institute.
Project X is a weapon based on sound waves. It can do horrific levels of damage from far awaybut they’ve only been able to build a small one because they can’t find more Rearden Metal at the moment.
Mrs Rearden tries to blackmail Dagny. Instead, Dagny reveals her relationship with Hank, on the radio station to 22 million people. Hank meets her and they cuddle even though he knows she’s now madly in love with someone she met in the mountains.
Ch 4
Cherryl Taggart has gained poise, understanding, philosophy and insight into exactly the type of man her husband is. Dagny meets with Cherryl but cannot convince her to stay. Then Cherryl discovers Lillian and James in post coital something. She goes crazy and takes a swan dive.
My thoughts:
Rand is such a good writer where it comes to pulling me into the emotions.. I had HIGH anxiety for chapter 3. I was freaking out about the poor little goat!! Gahh!
I knew Dagny would never be blackmailed by Lillian but ohhhhh man I did NOT expect Rearden to just be all cuddly and comforting even after he found out there’s another guy! What??? I mean.. that’s really.. good of him I guess??
But poor Cherryl!! To have gone from guttersnipe to poised gracious woman in just one year.. only to throw her life away.. so sad. I saw how Rand really attacked grace in this chapter basically saying that to be loved for your weaknesses is awful and again I just wanted to hug her and say so much.. sigh.
Anyhoo...
Guys! We are almost done with the book! Are you going to make ANY predictions?!?
