Family moves due to civil war. Moves to Ukraine in the fall and then to Yavpetoria, Crimea in the Spring.
This event is influentual to her personally. She was going through a part of life where Communism was active and violence was very common. In her book, "Anthem," it's about a dystopia. Russia was a very similar example to the city of the Damned as someone told you what you were going to do and demanded it to you. If you speak against the authority, you are punished, -

We The Living Published by Macmillan in the U.S. and Cassell in England.
This event influenced her both personally and globally. First, personally by showing her determination for hard-work and success. The book was declined in publishing years before, but when it was published years later, it showed her determination to stick with her passion and not give up. It also influenced us globally by showing us how people under the Russian rule lived. It showed us to stand up and make a difference about it and each of us should put us before anybody else. -
WWII Ends.
This event influenced her personally and to the world. In some of her books, she mentions about rebuilding or reinventing certain things. Especially in Anthem, she based her ending of Equality telling us about his plan to rebuild man-kind to the surrender of Germany. -
Atlas Shrugged published.
The book was her last piece of fiction she would ever write. This was also her greatest achievement and triumph. This influenced her and the world. It showed her very tedious and hard-work to get where she is now. It influenced her to think about what she has done and can go bac and realize all the good work she has done. This will influence a lot of us to do the same. Also, the work has so much to it like, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and more. We will learn so much from the book. -
Receives honorary doctorate from Lewis and Clark University.
If you think about it, it can influence both her and us. It influences her to think all she has done. She realizes that she has come so far and will not stop until it's not possible.

You can make a difference in the world, just like how Ayn is able to write books to express her thoughts and influence us to make a change. -
