Response #4-- Ana N.
- Sometimes when people have power they use it to bring change in a good way or in a bad one. There times that people with power use it to gain more respect, money or even more power themselves. Positive way some people use it will be to improve another's person way of living or even to improve a society or nation.

- In the relationship of Daisy and Tom, Tom is the one who possess power in the relationship. Tom is the kind of guy who is cocky, rich and racist. He knows Daisy wouldn't leave him because she get everything she needs from him. Even though Daisy knows that he is having an affair with another woman she still with him pretending everything is perfect between them two. Therefore Tom is the powerful one while Daisy is the powerless one.
- In relationships between family, an example of powerful vs. powerless will be a parent and a child. The parent has the right to tell their child what to do and when to do it, the child has no other choice then to do what is ask to be done. The parent will be the powerful while the child is the powerless one. In local an example will be the MTA. The price for a metro card increased. There nothing people could do because they still have to pay for the metro card since there isn't another way for them to get to their destination if they don't own a vehicle. In friends people who have the most friends or who are bullies seem to be the most powerful ones because even if the lie about somebody and they just feel like hitting them they could get a group of people and just gang up in that person.

I agree with you.I don't think Daisy will have anything without Tom. Even if Daisy leaves Tom, he wouldn't suffer as much as Daisy or maybe not at all if he doesn't have feelings for Daisy.
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly right Ana. I think this emotion instills confidence in Tom and causes him to act the way he does. Great job Ana.
