Howard Roark Analysis

226 Words1 Page

Howard Roark serves to support the impossible notion that one does not have to compromise morality for success or vice versa. He is the ideal man who embodies a strong commitment to his morals and his own independent thoughts. Roark never fails to stand by the integrity of his buildings nor his own integrity, as seen during the Cortlandt Trial. He never sacrifices his designs to gain work. He does not want to work if he has to give up his designs to conform to the demands of the people. He refuses to compromise himself for other people and he never allows others to make decisions for him because he is in control. For Roark it is “[His] work done [his] way. A private, personal, selfish, egotistical motivation” that serves to drive him forward

    This is a sculpture that consists of 17 bronze panels, three longhorns, pointed wire, and a Texas star that represent different aspects on the history of the trail. The sculptor Troy Kelley has added his own artist interpretation to this history, and has held to the facts of the trail as well. For me it was a unique piece because it was really tall with many panels, each having different stories to tell. The artist, Troy Kelley is a painter and sculptor in Salado, Texas.

    Rick Famuyiwa's Dope is an irreverent coming of age film that thrives on bending and breaking stereotypes about blackness.

  • Did I Miss Anything Tom Wayman Analysis

    My considered response is on the poem, “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman. This poem is about a teacher that is answering the question, “did I miss anything”. The teacher does answer the question; however they do it in a roundabout, overly sarcastic and exaggerated manner. The teacher shifts from saying they did nothing while the student was absent to saying that they did everything in the next stanza. In my considered response I will explain the poetic devices I found in the poem.

  • Howard Roark Realistic Analysis

    1882 Words  | 8 Pages

    The depiction of what is realistic or not is honestly the expression of a personal perception of reality. Therefore, those who regard Howard Roark as “unrealistic” are those who do not see the world as one in which Howard Roark could exist, but that does not define him as “unrealistic.” It is not difficult to see why some would depict Roark as unrealistic. His more realistic qualities are not difficult to overlook, simply because of the way other characters perceive him, and his own mannerisms and idea. This in turn makes it more difficult for one to relate to him, and makes it less difficult for one to describe Roark as unrealistic.
