How does the use, misuse, and lack of power infulence people?
Having power can lead you to doing positive things for youself and for others, the misuse of power can lead to corruption, and if u lack power you would have never had the chance to make change.
"You did it Tom... I know you didn't mean to but you did do it. That's what i get for marrying a brute of a man, a great big hulking physical speciman of a...."(16)
In this relationship Tom does possess power over Daisy only because Daisy stays with him for the money. He is also cheating on her and she still stands with him because of his money.
Powerful vs. Powerless
How does this idea manifest itself at the personal, local, national and global level. how does it look like in relationships between family members, lovers, friends or within a community?
The urge to gain power is always an issue, whether its with yourself, between your group of friends, or country and country someone always wants it but that doesn't mean they're the right person for the job. power between family members is a little different because the oldest would receive the most respect.

I agree with Leslie because the only reason why Daisy is still with Tom is because of his money. If she was rich like him and all i believe she wouldn't be with him and probably would get somebody who wouldn't cheat on her.
ReplyDeleteReferring back to our archetype analysis, Daisy (and Myrtle) seems to fit that characterization as the gold-digger. I would also agree with you Leslie about the powerful having positive influences. I don't think "power" should only connote negativity because "power", used correctly, can have great positive influences. Great response.
