Correct Answer is : c) him

The poem is a lesson for all those who feel alone or literally alone and teaches to create self-confidence, self-reliance. The Poet, though she was surrounded by relatives, society, friends etc she realizes loneliness. To take up any decision she learnt not to depend on others, only to depend confidently on herself. She has started to take up own decisions though she may fail initially. She can ask other’s opinion for her progress.

But still, she is the one who ultimately decides as she is the sole ruler of her own kingdom Being the master of her dominion, the poet with great determination chooses her path with pride neglecting other’s disagreeness with her choices as though they are the only people who can advice her to take up the better path.

When the poet neglected other’s opinion the people began to abuse with small words. But poet made up her mind, that was her own life and ultimately she is only one to make her destiny. The only thing in life she trusted upon is being true to herself which teaches her to stand alone and also to win through her self-confidence.

we can show to others that we have all these qualities. For ex: Whenever I got a chance to participate in any of the extra circular activities, without any hesitation, I participated, which showed my self confidence.

According to poet, one has to realize that he/she is alone and learnt to reley on themselves and begin to stand on our own. We should not bother about criticism of others and choose a better path to success. To win, we have to trust ourself which helps us to take the royal road of success.

The poet is alone in the poem.

The poet Kathleen Delicate herself is the speaker in the poem.

“If I fail I must continue to try”. I like this line in the poem the most because this is the line which builds up self – confidence, self respect, self reliance, determination etc. Makes a person to lace the life easily and boldly until he/she succeeds. As a proverb says “Try, until you succeed.” Since failure is a stepping stone to success a person should not get depressed or let the work go fearing about the failure, failure and success are the two faces of same coin everybody has to face both. Hard work with confidence and self-reliance definitely leads us to success.

Speaker decided to try continuously though she fails until she succeeds.

Speaker converts her choice into victory by being true to herself which taught her to stand alone with self confidence which helps her to take the royal road to success.

Speaker herself is the ruler of speaker’s kingdom.
