Do you agree with the idea that people “are master of their fates”? Can human beings make of themselves whatever they wish, or are there limitations to our possibilities?

I believe that in day to day circumstances, yes. We can control when we brush our teeth and what we put on our toast. Overall though, we cannot control our fate. In most religions and prominently in greek myths, fate is something higher you cant control. When someone tries to control there fate that is when they often make the worst happen. Fate is what will happen and cannot be persuaded or changed at all.

Hope this helped.

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
