"Nearly all men can stand adversity , but if you want to test a mans character, give him power", ole Abe said this. This means that you may want it but when you have it you are tested to see what you can do with it .This quote is true because some people don't know what to do or how to feel when power is in there hands. This is seen in my book hell phone. it comes to play when nick got took to hell or, when fleck said to do what he says or he will kill, and when he got the phone he had no control of what to do  or when to do.
