The intention of this blog is to create a space for students in my EN 101 Playing with Power course to discuss the work we are doing in the class. Students are encouraged to post questions, provide quotes for analysis and offer suggestions, interpretations and ideas as they work on defining and redefining the term 'power.'

Dr. Zhivago
Now that you've viewed the film Dr. Zhivago, please post onto the class blog the characters which you feel are in power and the characters which you feel are powerless. As you see threads emerging, comment on your classmates' posts. You should agree, disagree, complicate, and question the way your peers are assessing the characters in the film, including an explanation of why you are taking up a specific position. This means you will need to phrase your responses like "I disagree that character X is powerless because when he says X and character Z responds by saying "Y", then character X's power is revealed."
