Literal -- What are the different types of power in this story? -Pride -Authority -Knowledge -Technology -Warfare/Military -Government -Creation/Rediscovery

Inferential -- Which of these powers does the author seem to respect more? -The author seem to respect the power of Knowledge more because everyone is appalled and amazed at Aub's computation skills. He juxtaposes the stupidity of future-day humans using computers to calculate simple multiplication problems to Aub's computation skills. He also states how human computation could create a more developed technology that could lead to their victory in the war.

Evaluative -- Prioritize the powers. What do we learn about our own values and the author's based on this prioritization? -Knowledge>Creation/Rediscovery>Technology>Authority>Government>Warfare/Military>Pride -I discovered that we share similar beliefs as the author prioritized the power of Knowledge like me. The power of Knowledge could lead to many of other powers. For example, if you have the knowledge, you have the ability to create, rule a government, rule the military, create new technology, have authority, and have pride. The power of knowledge is the true benefit of the human race. Unlike other animals, the power of knowledge allowed us to be in the top of the food chain and be the main dominator of this world, even though humans do not have the physical ability, the power of knowledge made us to the top.
