The
storyline is getting progressively more interesting and I am surprisingly
finding it hard to stop reading this book. I would say that chapter VII is
definitely the most dramatic and convivial chapter that we have read so far.
Mainly, because of all the choices, and implications within this chapter that
lead to the creation of the John Galt Line, the immediate downfall of Taggart
Transcontinental, and almost the destruction of Rearden Metal. Throughout this
chapter it was evident that Taggart Transcontinental was on the verge of
downfall and I realized due to Dagny's entrepreneurial spirit that she was
going to have to make some detrimental decision. As I continued to read through
this chapter Dagny made a controversial decision and started the John Galt line.
I don't
personally think that that was the best decision she could have made. Although,
as I continued to read I found out that here unorthodox method was successful
but, she could have just changed the name of Taggart Transcontinental,
resulting in possibly more success. I was confused as to why she wanted to
start from the bottom again, other than the fact that she would be able to work
with Rearden and not have anyone complain to her. But still, at Taggart
Transcontinental she had more resources and her total revenue could have
increased drastically. In the end it doesn’t really matter since up to this
point the John Galt Line is successful. I hope that as I continue to read I
will find out the identity of John Galt, and, if John Galt is Dagny’s new
railroad company as she claims him to be.
