If by Rudyard Kipling

 Today we did a poem by Rudyard Kipling and he had a good poem this was his poem.

The connection I found in the poem was what would happen if I trusted myself.

The poem was organized by having 4 stanzas and 32 sentences.

The tone of the poem was, In the first stanza it had AAAABCBC the second one was ABABCDCD the third one was ABABCDCD and the last one was ABABCDCD.

The poetic device I have listed and found was:

 Hyperbole: If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster you cannot meet with a disaster, the other one said “Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;” you can’t fix your life with worn-out tools and the last one where it says” Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,” you cannot earn earth.

Personification: It said “If you can force your heart” you can’t force your heart so it is a personification.

Metaphor: It said “If you can keep your head when all about you” it didn’t have like or as and it compared two, unlike things.

Alliteration: The poem said “all about” it had the same first letter in the word.

The poet wanted me and you guys to think about the poem and it was: Trusting himself than others and never give up even if people doubt you.
