The New World in the Valley (Carlye Nealon)

       I was so confused at the beginning of part 3 because I was not sure if Dagny was dead, dreaming, or if it was actually a different world that she fell into.  However, even though I was confused I liked reading it because it was different from the rest of the book.  Atlas Shrugged was started to get boring towards the end of part 2 because the same things kept happening over and over again.  Part 3 was something different and new and it was fun to read.  I did not want to stop reading because I wanted to know about the world in the valley and why everyone was there.  I liked the world in the valley.  Everything was clear and it seemed like an ideal world that was created for all the great men or women that deserved it.  It was a world where everyone had clarity because they were not worried about the work and the looters that they had to deal with in the outside world.  They knew what they wanted to do in this new world.  People inside the valley loved it.  For example, Ellis Wyatt says, "While I was in hell - yes, I'm on earth now," (page 662).  Wyatt is saying that the outside world was hell and now he finally feels like he is actually living in this new world.  In the valley, we also finally meet John Galt.  Throughout the whole book we kept hearing the question, "Who is John Galt," over and over again by different people.  We now learn who this man really is.  Galt was everything that Dagny was searching for.  She thought she was searching for three different people, but all three of them ending up being John Galt.  Galt is the inventor of the motor who Dagny was searching for for a while, the destroyer, who Dagny wanted to catch, and the man that she was searching for who would be perfect for her.
