I'm in year 11 and im doing the topic POWER for my area of study. I was given this assessment where i must write a feature article and rationale based on power. I must include 3 text 2 i has been given to the classes by our teachers but we must find another text byself.

WHAT IS A TEXT THAT IS RELATED TO POWER?
It could be a short story, extract from a novel/play scripte, feature article, scripted interview/speech or song lyrics

Please Help! :uhoh:

Essentially every text explores power in some way or another. I would pick Harry Potter as a good text though as well as The Green Mile
