I have many people who I admire, but there are a few who step out. One of those heroes is Ayn Rand, a Russian author who wrote famous books The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and Anthem.

Ayn Rand was born in Russia on the day February 2nd, 1905. She lived in Saint Petersburg, Russia when she was a child, but she was an American novelist. As I said before, she wrote very great books. Sadly, she died on the day March 6th, 1982.

I choose Ayn Rand as my hero because she is a very inspiring author. Her writing is like being in a very free, creative, but restrictive classroom. You can swim in her writing for hours. Ayn Rand, in my family, is thought of like a goddess. She can be all knowing but not know anything all at the same time.

One of the reasons I like Ayn Rand are the points she gets across in her books. One of my favorite points was in the book Anthem. At first the book starts out very peculiar. She talks about a group of people being one personality trait in a human. Then, two traits fall in love and go through ridicule from other traits. At the end of the book, she says her final word. It makes the whole book come together and make the book pull together and get infinite points across.

So my Hero, Ayn Rand, is very inspirational. She should be an inspiration to all. My siblings and I have many creative discussions about her books. But, I haven’t read all of her books. I have read Anthem, which was a good book that I recommend to everyone. Before you read Ayn Rand’s Books, you should be sure to read other books leading towards the complicity of her books.
