I disagree with the 2nd and 4th statements. Power is not everything. It can lead you to your downfall. For example, the tyrant in Purple Hibiscus by Adichie was killed by a prostitute. Before that, this tyrant kept all money to himself and left most of Nigeria in shambles. In turn, students started to riot around schools, including the university that Aunty Ifeoma taught at. Prices in regular household objects rose to a point where barely anyone could buy them. I doubt that the tyrant was happy with a huge majority of Nigeria threatening to kill him.
Our essential character can be changed, for I have changed over the past 4 years. In 6th grade, I used to be a slob who wouldn't care less about her homework. I got bad grades, low expectations, and disappointment from my parents. But in 8th grade, I started to do my assignments and listen in class. I became a better student and a better person. I also started to be more friendly towards other people. I'm now in 9th grade and I'm surrounded by 7 people as friends. I have As and Bs and my parents are proud of me. I am still changing, because I have to adapt to the changes life is throwing at me.
