How does power emerge in “The Island”?

I believe that power emerges when we hear a kids perspective, he said something that didn’t ring true until you broke it down and thought about it. The idea of the man who didn’t want help, wanting to be alone, and willing to endure the homeless life knowing firsthand how brutal it is. From the quote I feel that the connection between language and power is revealed when Julia says we all have power, it just relies on how we utilize to better our everyday life. Which supports my thinking behind the kid, you think because of his age that he isn’t capable of being powerful. But through his words and deeper thinking he is able to move us with a simple comparison, between an island and a secluded man floating in the water.
