I made the SPECIFIC DECISION that the pathetic question was DEFINITELY NOT worth dignifying with an straight answer, or couldn't you tell?
Rand discusses children the Chapter, "The Comprachicos" in This book and elsewhere in other books of essays.
As far as the novels go, Rand's book, The Romantic Manifesto points out that her school of fictional literature does NOT write about life "as it is for everyday people," (as the depressing "naturalist" school of literature does) but life "as it could be and ought to be" (including for those who decide for themselves to choose enormous goals and the vigorous life of productivity and virtue). So they are ALLEGORIES NOT snapshots. Can you appreciate the difference?
And who the heck ARE you; where's YOUR profile page?
LOL!
Unable to answer a simple question and quite irate that it was even asked!
Check your own six, you are quite vulnerable to any and all simle attacks.
