1.) Explain in detail the reasons for Howard Roark's expulsion from the Stanton Institute of Technology. The Dean states that Roark has "a determined little group of defenders" among the faculty, while other professors "felt it their duty" to vote for his expulsion. Why do the faculty members on each side evaluate Roark and his work so differently?

Roark was expelled from Stanton simply because his work differed from the rest of the people that was attending. When the Dean asked Roark to come back, he stated that he wanted things done his way. He didn’t want to follow the rules. He wanted I his way or he just wasnt going to do it at all. Even though is work was amazing to him the Dean and the other didnt approve of it.



2.) At the end of Chapter One, Roark comprehends that there is a fundamental difference between his approach to life and the Dean's. Roark understands his own, but not that of the Dean and those like him. He recognizes that there is a principle that explains the difference, which he calls the "principle behind the Dean." Based on subsequent events of the story, explain the "principle behind the Dean."

The principle behind the Dean wouldl be something like collectivism i dont know. The Dean likes things to be simple and plain and doesnt want to change them for nothing in the world. I think that Roark just want to add a lill spice to a boring environment which he think is right and everyone hates it.


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 does not make keating an outstanding architectural student. He cheating this way through school by taking the best of the best putting it together to make it his work. I think that if Roark was to do this he would have been kicked out of school from the beginning. This says that Keating is a cheater and would do whatever it takes to get to the top.


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?

He has achieved such success by getting others to do the work. But i wouldnt say that he is not doing any work for the company. Even though he doent not do any physical work he is like the business man. While he is at parties he act as if he is a promotor for the company. Francon and Keating both use others to boost their ego by doing their work.While Roark make he plan for stretch.


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?

He shows his love for her only when he thinks about her but other then that he dont care for her. And when he thinks of her and wants to be around he calls her up and tell her whats on his minds and ask if he can come over, but by them being "in love" she also welcome him back with open arms.
