\nThe poem Invictus also reminds me the first president of South Africa president, Nelson Mandela. This poem was his most favorite poem that it became the name of the movie about the story of President Mandela and South African rugby team. Nelson Mandela was a person of will. He spent 27 years in a prison separating from his family, he kept working on finishing\u00a0\u00a0apartheid which he believed it was right. What he felt in the prison might be exactly the same as\u00a0 Earnest poem ” Black\u00a0 as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.”(Henley cited by Watson, 1951,p. 86) After he became the president, he still kept fighting for his belief, racism using national rugby team.<\/p>\n
