In my life for the first time [and,] the image made me believe [of] my mother that I could change [were] the way things *were*.
remove and & of because it makes no sense in the context of the sentence and move were to the end of the sentence.
idk because you did not type the text
The only thing on there that actually made sense was the Dry:Air, but flood doesn't mean air. :/
Answer:
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.
