Alexa Ferrer 2nd Reaction


          I have changed my views on Dagny Taggard and I like her a lot more. After the meeting James Taggard had I realized that he is easily influenced and tainted by what other people want, whereas Dagny’s intentions have always been for the company to prosper. Dagny has mastered the ability to take control and make the right decisions because she does not give in to what other people tell her. She is solely focused on one thing and one thing only; the success of her company. James Taggard, on the other hand, seems like more of a people pleaser and makes the same empty arguments to Dagny, due to the persuasive political pressure he faced in the creation of the San Antonio Line. I agree with Dagny’s opinion that before they were to get involved in anything complicated they should focus on restoring the company and fixing any issues. Now they must suffer the consequences of making a bad decision and find a way to restore their company.
            The moment I decided how much I do in fact like Dagny was the scene in her apartment. That is the scene where she became a person to me because she showed emotion and actually became relatable. I have one particular artist I keep on replay when ever I am stressed or anxious and as I listen to him I think back to the time I saw him live and try to just escape in the music. I am very curious as to what has happened between Dagny and Fransisco d’Aconia. The way she sat bent over with her head in her arms after reading the article about him leads me to believe she was once in love with him, and after learning about their history together I wonder what their future holds. Now I know she is real and I think I judged her too quickly before.
