The use, misuse of power can reveal a persons personality. For example in Bodega Dreams, Willie Bodega wanted to help people in Spanish Harlem which showed that he is caring. The lack of power influence how someone thinks like their approach to life through the decisions they make.
Tom certainly holds the power between his relationship with Daisy. I think Daisy is intimidated by Tom because usually in a relationship the person that works, and earns a living for the family is more dominant. In the case of Daisy and Tom, Tom is the one who owns everything so if daisy leaves him, he doesn't have anything to lose. He also has another woman in his life.
Powerful vs. powerless can be exemplified through different aspects in life. In a Family a husband may hold the power in a relationship especially if hes the one that financially supports the family. In a abusive relationship between lovers, the one that is physically stronger is the one that hold more power. Within a community, the person with a better professional career can hold more power. In a more general and global way of looking at power vs. powerless is one that owns money, like rich vs. poor.
i liked your response because you use example because your used evidence from the previous text we read in class, and you showed in different relationships you carries the leadership and more powerful role and why.
