Write two to three sentences about the effect (what the poet trying to express) by the poems use of rhythm and rhyme.
*You control your own destiny.*
Two lines of the poem directly support this claim. They are...
"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."
Meaning that the ultimate determining factor is you. Everyone is granted a choice, fate and destiny do not control you, because everyone has free-will.
