Bri's Room (not done) (Free verse) by Sunshine Conkey

A little girl named Bri had an awful lot of stuff she saved and saved it but it wasn't enough. She put it in a closet and stacked it on the floor But even when her room was filled She wanted more and more. One day while playing She wanted her special pen to draw her favorite doll. But after looking everywhere, she couldn't find them at all.

Contrary to what is posted here, she said as much, indeed.
I have read, some several times: Fountain Head, Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, The Virtue of Selfishness, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (Expanded 2nd. Edition, and am currently waiting on a copy of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, so that I may have a copy for my library, and to read again....thank you very much.
She wrote from her perspective and time...one must always take that into account when reading authors from a different time period than one lives in. There was nothing simplistic about her. She was very concrete, and not very compassionate. I think if she lived in our time, and had had the gift of time, she would have grown and expanded her philosophy to better reflect what could be learned from the time of her death until now.
That aside...she was an owesome writer, who did what no one else had done: formed heroic characters, and formulated a new philosophy to base her characters on. She was astoundingly intellegent...and one can embrace certain of her principles, without embracing them to a fanatical degree.
