Blog one.

1. One reason for H. Roarks expulsion was be cause of his drawings. when told to do an assignment on drawing historical styles he submitted something that wasn't of his teachers approval.I guess he was a visionary in his own mind.His professors didn't know how to take his wild drawings so passed him because they didn't know how to grade him.
Another reason I believe he was kicked out was because of how he mad his teachers or people in general feel invisible or insignificant and they were intimidated by his brilliance.
Roarks teachers evaluate him differently because in each class demanding something different from him and he only did what he felt was right in his own eyes.

2. I dont believe that Peter is an outstanding architecural student because he seems to be very unsure of himself. To me an outstanding student wouldn't be so underhanded in the way I see him. He cares more for what someone will think of him to have self worth.His character tells me that he is very selfish and he uses people for his own advantage also.

3. Society rejected Henry Camron's work the same reason Roarks professors did him. They simply wasnt ready for what he had o give. People have certain expectations and want the next person to live up to them by their standards, but Henry as well as Roark didn't allow themselves to be subjected by it.
Roark stays because he knows that if he works under Camron he will gain some knowledge in doing so. Also I believe that both characters see each other eye to eye. Carining nothing for themselves but the earth and building.

4. From my reading Franco has achieved his work by claimiming others. He thinks its more important to woe a clien by throwing and going to parties instead of letting "his" work speak for him. The thing that Keatings and Franco have in common is haveing being on top no atter how to achieve it. They are different from Roark because of the way they use their talents. roark is to himself not caring for the next person only earth and archietechture.
