DSA Movie

1. The Exposition. Taking place in Las Vegas. A boy’s father was famous and people (other robbers and thieves) knew him for robbing banks and other places that were hard to steal from. Then the boy decides he wants to follow up on what his father is doing. But before he started his father dies. Now the boy has to learn on his own to become a good robber.
2. The set-up. Now that all the people (robbers etc) know that this boy is the best robber’s son they are thinking he is the next big thing. They expect him to be super good and be just like his father. The boy starts robbing banks and stores.
3. The Crisis/climax. The big problem is that the boy is not good at stealing and breaking in. He has been caught numerous times and things are just going to well for him. Everyone is accepting him to be good and now they really doubt him. So he needs to find a way to show everyone that he is as good as his father.
4. The Resolution. The boy decides to do the hardest thing for a robber to do. Break into a casino vault in Las Vegas and steal the money. He thinks that this will up his status and make everyone see who he really is. He steals from the MGM Grand and gets away with it. Everyone considers him the best now

Power Quote

“We have learned that power is a positive force if it is used for positive purposes.” I chose this quote because it stood out to me. When I first read it I agreed with it, but the more I read it I started to disagree with it also. First off when I think, “Is power good or bad?” I think it is good, and I think a lot of people think that way. But also power can be negative and I believe that some have learned that some power is negative and not all positive. I think power has a lot to do with negative people. Like Hitler, he had a lot of power but he used it in a negative way. Another example is Gandhi; he had a lot of power with the people. He used his power in a way to convince and per sway how people looked at solving problems in a non-violent way. Even though he didn’t have “labeled” power, he still gained power by conveying ideas that affected the people. Gandhi used his power in a positive way. So overall, I agree and disagree with this quote, people learn that power is both positive and negative.

48 Laws of Power

Law 4

a.) I think that this law would work if a person was to do it. No one likes a person that talks to much. This law says its better to say less then say too much, which is true. If you are trying to convince someone of somthing, your more believeable if you say less. If your going on and on people often think that your making things up. Also if you are saying too much you have more of a chance to say something dumb of make your self look bad. So I think this is a good law and if one was to follow it that they would convince more people by saying less.
