The poem that I chose, Invictus by William Ernest Henley, is a poem about perseverance, shining through, and piloting your own life. In relevance to my own life I think that this poem portrays me in baseball. For the past few years I have been on teams that can't seem to win no matter how well I do (and not to brag, but I do pretty well). But I always kept my head up and was always optimistic about the future. And also, in terms of piloting my own life, I always went out and did my best and worked on my personal game as a player even if my team was not willing to.
When I present this masterpiece to the class I intend to do it in a manner in which each line sounds significant, which they are, and emphasize "stand out" words with hand gestures. Also so I don't get so nervous and because Henley is English, I shall speak in a British accent, no matter how terrible it may be.
