In my opinion, Roark expulsion was because he really like architecture, and it had meaning. He was different. Roark didn't follow rules, and in order for him to go back to Stanton, things would have to be his way. In class, he would only do things that he felt was right. Roark intimidated others with his work. I also think Roarks' know it all attitude and him being rude played a huge role in his expulsion.
3.) Peter Keating graduates as valedictorian from the Stanton Institute of Technology. Does this mean that he is an outstanding architectural student? By what methods did he get such high grades? What does this say regarding his moral character?
No, this doesn't mean Peter was an outstanding architectural student, Howard was better. Peter asked Howard for help, and he often cheated his way through school while sucking up to teachers. His moral character, in my opinion, is a cheater and weak person.
4.) Keating goes to work for Guy Francon, the most successful and prestigious architect in the country. What are the methods by which Francon has achieved commercial success? Does he have anything in common with Keating? In what ways do they both differ from Roark?
Franco achieved his work by claiming others, just as Francon. They both are cheaters who has to be the best on top, not considering what they have to do to get there. They differ from Roark because Roark has a more in depth care for architecture, and he does his work himself.
6.) Citing specifics from the story, describe the means by which Keating seeks to rise to the top of Francon's firm? Explain the meaning of Keating's methods. Why do they work at Francon's? Would Keating's methods work similarly well at Cameron's? Why?
Keating tells on Francon and gets him fired. Keaton is promoted and become chief. Keaton's work wouldn't work at Cameron's unlike at Francons. Cameron is a more hardworking employer. Cameron would have been harder on him.
7.) Though Keating often leaves Catherine Halsey waiting weeks for him to call, the author makes it clear that Catherine is special to him. How does the author show Keating's love for Catherine? In contrast to Keating's motive for pursuing his other values (in work, for e.g.), what personal significance does his relationship with Catherine have? What fate will befall Peter if he betrays his love for her?
Peter is in love with Catherine. When he found out Catherine's father was a successful architect, he avoided meeting him through Catherine.Whenever he needs a uplift, her presence or the thoughts and love of her excites him. Peter wants to marry Catherine, and he did after he got his job. After proving his love for her and marrying her, he takes it back.
