The protagonist, Odysseus, encounters Polyphemus and Scylla and must surpass them with his intelligence and perceptive in order to keep his shipmates safe. Polyphemus questions the main character, Odysseus, about his ship’s whereabouts. “Tell me, where was it, now, you left your ship-.../ He thought he’d find out, but I saw through this,/ and answered with a ready lie: ‘My ship?.../ broke it up on the rocks at your land’s end” (269, 271-272, 274). The author uses this scene to elucidate how the protagonist uses his cleverness to see the cyclop’s genuine intentions and answers with a perfect lie to keep the ship and his other crew members in it safe. The cyclop was one of the many antagonists and Odysseus had very cunningly dealt with him. Furthermore, as they approached Scylla, the main character doesn’t tell his crew members that six of them were going to die. “But as I sent them on toward Scylla, I/ told them nothing, as they could do nothing. They would have dropped their cars again, in panic,/ to roll for cover under the decking…” (790-793). Homer uses this specific event to substantiate how Odysseus had made a reasonable resolution for his crew members, because Odysseus knows that he can't win against Scylla, another one of the several enemies of Odysseus in his odyssey. His intelligence is truly unveiled when he doesn't tell his men about the incident bound to occur, because he knew the aftermath. The main character uses his intellect when opposed to Scylla to make the best decision possible for his men, and he use his quick wits when he moves the focus off of his ship when conversing with Polyphemus.

All humans crave one thing: Power. Power is directly defined as “the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.” This theme is shown throughout the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. However, there are different forms of power. Different forms of power can be seen throughout the book, and even in many short stories and poems. These different forms of power can be either good or bad, depending on how the power is used. Power can come from fear, wealth, or leadership and trust.

Power is the ability to manipulate and control whatever one desires; to do what one pleases to do without answering to authority. The power that corrupts the characters plays an extensive role throughout Shakespeare’s play, King Lear. Goneril and Regan are corrupted by the power that Lear offers them. Edmund’s corruption comes from the trust of his father. Absolute power corrupts absolutely with the characters, because once have full control, they are so cold that they will do anything to keep the power – or to gain more. The quest for power corrupts, but when absolute power is attained, treachery and deceit is the only path to take.

“The Light Between Oceans” mainly takes place in Australia on Janus Rock Island and in Partageuse. The main characters in this story are Tom and Isabel Sherbourne, a couple living on Janus Rock who raised a baby girl, Lucy Roennfeldt. Lucy’s birth mother is Hannah Roennfeldt. Some chapters of “The Light Between Oceans” are a combination of lighthearted romance and tragic loss.

Power had a huge part on how people were treated back in the times of slavery. In the novel Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, an African-American woman named Dana traveled between the 1800s and the present to help her great-grandfather throughout his life while also trying to shape him into a better person in the racist society that he was in. One of the things she noticed was how power could dictate how people lived their lives, especially since slavery was prevalent in the area her great grandfather, Rufus Weylin, lived in. Dana, Rufus, and Alice were all characters whose power affected how their lives turned out and the choices that they made.

Power is the possession of control, authority, or influence over others, one having such power puts them in control, and to be in control is the power to influence or direct people's behavior. How does power and control affect the characters in the novel? In the novels Night by Elie Wiesal and 1984 by George Orwell, power and control is shown by the superiors towards the subordinates, by comparing and the themes of loss of humanity, fear, and self preservation. In both novels it is clear to see that power and control affects the way the characters act and think.

This lead to a total DNA change that turned him into a huge psychotic lizard. Peter Parker who had been bit by a radio active spider was now on a search to rediscover who he really is and only at the age of sixteen. If Stan Lee's classic comic was meant to teach us anything it was meant to teach us that we have a choice. Peter Parker a low income orphan, who was bullied and weak used his powers to become a hero. Osborne decided other wise. Using not Spiderman, but Peter Parker as my last explain I would like to show you that what makes a monster is more than the struggle for power as I earlier stated. It is the choice we make with that power whether it is given to us or taken.

When not being able to control your fate, a person loses power and leads them to the

What is power? Is it limited, or does everyone have power? The majority of people have some sort of power, whether it be over themselves or others, but very little power over who they are and who they become. The stories “Parents Night” by Nancy Garden and “Blonde” by Katherine Min show how people have very little power over themselves. In “Parent’s Night”, a young girl's struggles to find acceptance in her family on her sexuality. She has to decide whether to believe herself or believe her parents. A very similar but different story “Blonde”, is about another young girl who struggles with her appearance. Her parents are not very supportive of what she wants, and it seems like she is hopeless. She struggles with her own beliefs and what

Adversity; difficulties;misfortune, we experience adversity in many ways, in many different circumstances. Power causes division and spiteful behavior, although it may be viewed as a great thing to have. Power is reflected throughout history, present time, and even reflected in books, we've always faced problems with power. During the Industrial revolution, through the Factory owners, controlling many workers. Seen in present time with man taking advantage of others because of status. Finally it can even be seen in books such as The bean Trees, which is able to show a great representation of how power causes distress, rage, and can even causes backlash from many. Not having power may mean you don't have much decision making nor capability to do somethings. Many want to change their situation because where is the fun in being powerless. Adversity leads to rebellious

To begin with, there are less chances of misuse of power in a group as there is more vigilance which in turn makes the boys more powerful. In the text, the boys mainly Jack starts abusing his power after being appointed the leader of one of the groups. This is proved when Roger says “ He is going to beat up Wilfred” (Golding 171). Here, Jack tries to misuse to power of being a leader and decides to beat up Wilfried with no valid reason.
