You'll be asked something along the lines of how people use power to manipulate people or situations, basically. And yeah-you only have to talk about power, nothing else...the name of the module is "Powerplay", theres really nothing else they can ask you about besdes power.
What we were told to do (and I assume this is the basic structure that most people would follow...) is come up with 3 aspects of power. (it doesn't have to be 3 unless they specify, but 3 seems the most reasonable number to write about in 40 mins). For instance-I did Psychological Power, the Power of language, and Personal Power. Then I just found an example of someone in 'Julius Caesar' using that aspect of power. For Personal power-I wrote about the conspirators murdering Caesar to remove his personal power, thus gaining personal power themselves. For the power of language, I wrote about Brutus speaking to the people of Rome after he killed Caesar. And for Psychological power, I wrote about the speech Marc Antony made to everyone right after Brutus's speech.
Then for wide reading material, just find one example for each aspect. I did a painting for personal power, a poem the the power of language, and the movie "Poison Ivy" for psychological power. And thats it. Chuck in a few nice sounding quotes, and you're home and hosed.
