Are All Human Beings Capable of Developing Chang's Power? John Chang(Dynamo Jack), also known as Electric Eel man, has a power to use electricity from his body. He states that anybody can lean it. He says that he learned it by meditating everyday, like yoga. All he needed to do was put his hands on any part of a person’s body, and electricity just flows through them and causes uncontrollable twitches. I must be very hard to have that power, but can everybody get that power if they tried?

    Why isn’t humour discussed as a theme on the module? There are certainly aspects of comedic moments across the texts we have studied, but they are not central themes. What Wong adds to the module is using humour to look at the nature of an addict. For instance, David lures John (who’s passed out on “soy sauce” in David’s car) by holding his “cigarettes” as bait (63). John's response is immediate, but gradual, with Wong using the simile “like a sleepwalker” to indicate that John's addiction is almost on an unconscious level.…

    Background Information Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the build-up of charged particles, either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current (Oxford dictionary, 2015). The effect of electricity can be seen in play daily, whether through a simple light bulb, or a complex application such as providing energy to a power plant. It is often stated that electricity is the most versatile and easily controlled form of energy, and at the point of use it is practically loss-free and essentially non-polluting (I.E.C., 2015). However, as with most energy, electricity experiences a force that acts against its efficiency, known as resistivity or resistance. Resistivity is the material property that pertains to how difficult it is for…
