I have to write and inclass esay of Thursday about Ceremony and I havent read the book, so I am using Cliff notes. Anyways the topic of my essay assignment is: One of the strongest human drives seems to be a desire for power. Write an essay in which you discuss how a character ina novel or a drama struggles to free himself or herself from the power of others or seeks to gain power over others. Be sure to demonsrate in your essay how the author uses this power struggle to enhance the meaning of the work.
Okay so now all I need is a theme of thesis for my essay...any ideas?
