In OP, only lines 1, 3, and 13 do not have an end rhyme partner, resulting in a perceived unity.

2nd Hour The writing can mean a variety of things. However all can be narrowed down to one exact thing theme. Choices Choices are made throughout all of poems. Some choices the characters mae were regretful while other made a large impact. I know this because each article provides evidence for my claim.
