Have you ever thought what it would be like to be dancing up on your toes with the American Ballet theatre (ABT)? That’s just what happened, Misty Copeland currently a principal dancer at ABT had a dream to dance there ever since she started to dance and she didn't think that she could do it,but with training, hard work, and passion you can achieve anything.

I learned so much that I didn’t know, not only about Misty Copeland but also about ballet.

I would recommend this book because many people can relate to Misty Copeland in many ways, your mind wanders while reading, and because the plot was very unbelievable and surprising.

Many Romantic poets embrace the concept of self -expression through the use of imagination to convey their personal visions of love and life. The power of emotion is evident in Lord Byron's poems. It can be possible that light can be emitted through the darkness of night. In his poem, "She Walks In Beauty", Lord Byron epitomizes the balance between two opposing forces. The two forces involved are the darkness and the light at work in a woman's beauty both internal and external. Throughout the poem, Byron uses imagery through the visual senses that allows us to observe the symmetry between a woman's beauty and the mixing of the darkness and light.

We landed our axel and a new jump consistently, and a bliss came over us. Joy filled our bones and we finally felt free from the weight that was once upon us; however, two or so weeks later we lost both jumps and thus the longing to try again.

Pidge loved to preform. But one thing she loved more than that was the ability to dance. Lucky for her, she was good at it, but, to some people, she wasn't good enough. In most championships, she came in fourth, at the highest. Her dream? Come in first at at least one competition, and to have her idols recognize her as a dancer. Her Idols....

Some who were interested in dance would often ask for inspiration or some

Most of friends know or should know I don’t consider myself a nigga. If you understand the word nigga, you would see how this free forming word holds deep meaning in our African history, culture, and roots. Nigga is now a slang word used by the niggas of the ghetto culture as a greeting between friends. However, I beg to differ.

Do names really define a human being? I believe a person should be original, however that does not mean having a unique name. In my opinion, names are useful to acknowledge a person not label them.
