Imagine this: you're walking down the street and someone gets shot ,  you are right next to the dead person  and later people frame you for the killing . so you go to prison for life. In the series "Escape from Furnace" byAlexander Gordon Smith, the author uses power and resistance to make up the series. In the series, this plot is about a boy getting framed for murder and going to live in a terrible prison deep in the ground, and eventually escapes  but then gets caught with worse and worse things happening to him.With the timing going on In the story the author uses power for some parts of the story and uses resistance for some part of the story, right after the other. 

             In the story power is a big role   throughout the story for example in the beginning of the series in the first book from pages  34-48 Alex the main character  gets framed for something he didn't, do and that was murder. This shows power and resistance because Alex, the main character was being framed he didn't try to fight back as much.   he was resisting  and everyone else had power over him and his voice was small compared to everyone else. Another example of how there are   Power and resistance is, in the story On page 78-86 Alex and his inmates are being assigned job, unlike most inmates who fight back, Alex just does what he's told. knowing that he has no power over the prison guards so he resists and the guards take power. This shows power and resistance because Unlike the inmates Alex doesn't fight back he does what he is forced to do.  and for power, The guards tell him what to do making him feel insecure and powerless. The last example of how there are power and resistance throughout the story is When the warden ( the master of the prison) try to control Alex, he fights back however afterward he gives up. giving himself to the warden and this shows power and resistance. This shows Power because Alex tries to fight back but doesn't succeed, and this shows resistance because Alex gave up. These  Words relate to reality because like kids and parents there is power and resistance. Like with chores, work and playing video games. The parents have most of the power. 

        All in all This series has a pattern of Power and Resistance. People should read the book to see the power and resistance going on in the series and the great adventure That Alex faces. This series matters because It shows the power and resistance throughout the story like the power and resistance that goes on throughout people's lives. This book connects with my life because In my life my power is small compared to my parents and when my parents tell me to do stuff iI like I don't fight back I resist. Just like Alex. Overall this book shows how There are power and resistance moments all over the series, And we can relate to Alex but not in a prison kind of way.
