I've Got the Power!

Power gives people options. The power of knowing oneself gives a person a leg-up on those who don't, because they know what they can and can't do, what they want and don't want, and what they believe and don't believe. knowing those things about ourselves gives us options for what we want others to know and what we want for ourselves. With strength comes power. Physical strength opens up many other doors for what people can do. Internal strength is having control over our thoughts and emotions. Again, a very beneficial to have. Not only do people have power, but so does nature. In the novel, Power, the wind has the power of life, being everywhere, and physical strength, such as during a storm. It has the power to awe people, almost making it god-like, as it is in the novel. Mankind doesn't have control over the wind, thus giving wind the power. Most forms of nature are uncontrollable, so it might be fair to say that some aspects of nature have power over mankind, but we also use these resources to our advantage, giving us the power. Just another way to view power.
