September 14th, 2008 Posted in Scholarships
Comments Off

Do you love to write? Are you taking literature as your field of study? The Essay Contest on Ayn Rands Novel Atlas Shrugged is probably the program you are looking for.

Talented writers will have a chance to show their skills and compete for large sum of prizes, cash prizes. Not interesting enough? There is also a $5,000 cash prize for writer with the best essay.

This program is available for all college students, with no (or very little) other requirements. You will have to submit your essay before September 17 to be included in this contest though, so make sure you have your piece ready by then.

There are several topics you can write about, which is:

  1. A considerable part of the story of Atlas Shrugged deals with issues of justice. What is the account of justice that emerges in the novel? How does it compare to other, culturally-influential accounts of justice?
  2. For each of the following passages from Atlas Shrugged, explain its meaning, its relation to the story, and its wider significance.
  • James Taggart: “I don’t know [what the phrase ‘Who is John Galt?' stands for] … But the way people use it, they always seem to say it out of-”
  • Dagny Taggart: “Fear? Despair? Futility?”
  • James Taggart: “Yes … yes, that’s what it is.”
  • Dagny Taggart: “That’s what I want to throw in their faces!” [Part 1, Chapter VII]
  • Eddie Willers [to Dagny Taggart]: “We can’t fight it. It can’t be answered. We can’t demand a retraction. We can’t show them our tests or prove anything. They’ve said nothing. They haven’t said a thing that could be refuted and embarrass them professionally. It’s the job of a coward. You’d expect it from some con-man or blackmailer. But, Dagny! It’s the State Science Institute!” [Part 1, Chapter VII]
  • Francisco D’Anconia: “ … why is it that throughout man’s history the Nat Taggarts, who make the world, have always won-and always lost it to the men of the Board?”
  • Dagny Taggart: “I … don’t know.” [Part 2, Chapter V]

3) An important early event in the novel is the destruction of the Phoenix-Durango. What factors make its destruction possible? How does this issue relate to the meaning and theme of Atlas Shrugged?
Those topics are easy to write about, so give it your best and show those judges what you are capable of writing. This is an opportunity you would not want to miss.
