On a dark and stormy night, a baby with jet black hair and baby blue eyes was born in a little cottage in Ireland. His parents (not knowing what he would become in his adult years) named him Grant Tobias Gustin. He wasn't an only child, he had an older sister. Her name was Liz Ashley Gustin. From a young age, Grant was interested in the ways of Tap dance. However, his parents and sister were traveling Irish step dancers. As he grew up, they forced him to practice Irish step dance. His true rhythm flowed with the beat of Tap shoes. He had to hide his ambitions from his parents, because he knew they wouldn’t approve. Everyday after his parents would leave the studio, Grant would stay to clean the floor. Whenever he would clean, he would put on his personal playlist, and tap in secret.

It gave him certain abilities, it gave him the ability to travel back in time when he danced a simple move (the double buffalo) it went flap, shuffle, then step.

He was knocked to the ground and beaten mercilessly. The only way he could escape was throwing the sand that he fell onto, right into the criminal’s eyes. He will later adopt this method to fight crime after he realized he can do some good, but a challenger would soon

    Misty Copeland is a woman who defied all the odds and ended up becoming the first African-American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre. In her autobiography Life in Motion, Copeland depicts her life as a young woman before her days of ballet until recently. This book particularly stands out as a commendable autobiography because Misty writes this book as a story a form of empowerment to “the little brown girls” who do not think that they are able to fight despite all of the odds. Other reasons why this book stands out in the autobiographical realm is the metaphor “life in motion” as well as Copeland’s characterization of characters such as Cindy. One of the things that stood out this book is her consistent repetition of the sentence…

We’re going to mourn in their absence in different ways” (p. 3). I believe that the lack of having a father was the first factor in these men destinies because other male figures in their families stepped up.…
