I reallyyyyy need help with my discursive essay/podcast transcript for English Advanced module A!!! It's due on Monday and I'm freaking out. So our school was smart in choosing to study 'Richard III' and Pacino's 'Looking for Richard' (that was sarcastic) and I literally cannot write anything about it.

The task is:
Power is at the core of all human endeavour.
You must discuss how this statement is made evident through the resonances and dissonances between your core texts “Richard III” by William Shakespeare and “Looking for Richard” directed by Al Pacino.

I have an introduction and that's it...
Hey my monday night listeners! You are tuning in with The Griffith Review and this week we are going to discuss one of the most arguably inherent aspects of the substratum of our beings. Deep, I know! So pull up a chair, grab your coffee and have your notepad on hand. Today we are discussing the universal concept of power. Some say it drives us, tempts us, blinds us and even makes up the core of all human endeavour. Today we will be exploring how power is an intrinsic element of the psychological motivations of humanity. How better to learn about this than examining William Shakespeare’s historical tragedy ‘Richard III’ and Al Pacino’s contemporary reimagination of the play in his docudrama ‘Looking for Richard’. Through discussing the relationships between the texts and their respective contexts, we will embark on our quest in understanding how power is a timeless concept that, in one way or another, influences us all.

I just don't know how to come up with TWO arguments each exploring THREE moments from the play and THREE corresponding moments from the docudrama and discussing the resonances and dissonances all at the same time!
