loved me, but would always claim
to be busy studying. Three days
later he broke up with me over a
text message because he was too
focused on studying. A few months
later, I found out he was cheating
on me. It really affected my self-
esteem, but now I'm glad I got rid
of a person like him.
It’s extremely easy to act out in anger, frustrations and
sadness but it’s truly fascinating how successful people like
you approach problems. Where others see impenetrable
barriers, you see challenges to embrace and obstacles to
overcome.

IV. Evaluation
Directions: Read the poem below and identify the modern representation of the symbolisms
through literary meanings. Choose the letter of the best answer.

Invictus
William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
