I'm going to read Atlas Shrugged By Ayn Rand. I am doing this so I can right an essay and win a possible 10,000 dollars as a scholarship.

Is there anyone who can get a copy of the questions that most schools give their students. (like a study guide) Please and thank you.

I haven't heard of a school that has Atlas Shrugged as required reading. My entire family read it and neither my college-age kids nor my high schooler have ever mentioned it being discussed in school.

I'll be interested to hear if there are schools that require it elsewhere.

Here's an online site that has quizzes and suggested essay questions:

Check out Cliff's notes - they probably do something.

I run a book club and often find my discussion questions from the publisher's web sites.

Where are you from? You seem to have a problem with English grammar. I know many struggling with learning English appreciate the correcting. You used right instead of write, with out have is suppose to be without having. I am on a committee that awards a large scholarship to a graduating Sr. and it's based on a book report by the student. Bad grammar and misspelling is an automatic file 13. Good Luck.
