The definition of power is the ability to do or act (note that words give us the power to define 'power' in the first place).
Words have the power to produce action in several ways. They can create emotions, moods, and levels of motivation, and can will people to action when they otherwise have sat complacent. They have the power to uplift and improve people's outlook on life, and the power to produce an environment of hate and fear. They can instruct people on a previously vexing problem, and enable people to communicate thoughts that would have otherwise been trapped in the mind of only one person.
Words fulfill the definition of power because they have the ability to create and influence real action.
I see it as difference between two of my 2 favourite contemporary works
Harry Potter - magical realism - takes place in our 'real' world with, I must say, substantial addition of 'magical' to it, but still, seen as normal by those involved
Lord of the rings - fantasy - whole different world.
I hope I explained it well..
C. End on a note thats likely to stick in the readers minds
Answer:
Ruth convinces Robert to stay on the farm rather than leave on his planned trip with his uncle. This changes the direction of the plot because rather than following his dream of travel, Robert is staying on the farm where he will likely be unhappy. This is foreshadowed as the scene comes to a close:
RUTH. (in a soft murmur) Yes. Our very own star. (They stand for a moment looking up at it, their arms around each other. Then RUTH takes his hand again and starts to lead him away) Come, Rob, let’s go. (His eyes are fixed again on the horizon as he half turns to follow her. RUTH urges) We’ll be late for supper, Rob.
ROBERT. (shakes his head impatiently, as though he were throwing off some disturbing thought—with a laugh) All right. We’ll run then. Come on! (They run off laughing as The Curtain Falls)
