If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs and blaming it on you
1. “loosing theirs” is figurative language to say that people seem to be acting in a strange or unusual manner.
2. If is conditional . It usually comes in a cause and effect statement. Keep your head – remain calm in chaos and not listen to unwarranted blame or hate…
3. Some sort of directions – Have faith in yourself?
Example:

There is a catch…. Your pictures should show events from Hatchet that support the same theme. For example, in the poem “If” Kipling states that Keeping and remaining calm is a characteristic of becoming a man. This characteristic is obvious when Brian…..
