Write Down the definitions into your notebooks:

FATE = The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. Fate is geerally believed to be pre-determined. One's actions cannot change one's fate.

DESTINY the particular state of a person or thing in the futureconsidered as resulting from earlier events. Destiny is generally believed to be somewhat influenced by one's actions, therefore, the choices you make throughout life matter.

Direct Instruction

Clarification - Queen Elizabeth / England = Protestant
                        Mary Queen of Scots / Scotland = Catholic

After Queen Elizabeth had her cousin Mary beheaded, Mary's son, James, became King James VI of Scotland - and also became Protestant. When Elizabeth chose him to become King James I of England after her death, she hoped he would unify Scotland and England not only politically, but religiously as well.
