My Favorite Character, Dagny.

I used to hate reading until I began reading Atlas Shrugged. Reading this novel has brought out so many emotions in me and I thought I would never be so attached to a book. When I first started reading this novel I thought that I was not going to relate to any of the characters because I thought that it was only going to be about a train company. But, as I read more I cannot put it down. I see a lot of myself in Dagny because she knows what she wants and she goes to get it. At the beginning I felt like I could not really relate to her because she did not show many emotions, but once I read about her past with Francisco I saw that she is just like any other girl. Dagny wants to be loved but she does not want to get hurt. She knows that her job is the most important thing in her life so she does not distract herself with love and men. What I really admire about her is that she knows who she is and she is not afraid to just be herself. She does not care what everyone else thinks about her. An example of this is when she is at her debut party and she is just sitting talking to the boys and she is not acting poised at all. That is the kind of woman that Dagny is. She is confident, but she knows that life is much more than pretty lights and pretty dresses. Throughout the novel I have noticed a change in Dagny, and that change is that she is loosening up emotion-wise. I cannot wait to see what else Rand throws her way.
