Ballerina

able to implement this into the modern dance course. I allowed my body to give into gravity, but also remembering the use of breath and musicality. I gained knowledge on the changes in history of ballet from the beginning to present day. Knowing ballerinas were required to wear corsets to keep their upper body straight inspired me to imagine I was wearing one during class to keep from being loose. Not only were changes made over time with the corset, but changes in a dancer’s presentation also.…

Flowers created the soundtrack to my release. The song that had been a favorite of mine since I was six years old had taken on a much deeper significance. When I performed my first Nutcracker, I remembered watching from the wings as the beautiful ballerinas with their perfect technique flew across the stage like masses of pastel colored larks. I remembered how calm I felt, and how I hadn’t felt that calm in a long while. And so, every night when the shackles on my insides starting tightening,…

Equality, in a sense, is something that may be ideal as a word. When taken as the definition, equality is something that somebody wants, but others would rather rule those who are equal. There are those that want to be the same as others but no matter what happens, equality isn’t something that can be achieved. Sometimes a life of parity is something that is better off being unsaid, and “Harrison Bergeron” is a good example of that. “Harrison Bergeron,” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is about a world…

The aggression factor in males is suspected to be cause by the male sex hormone, which is testosterone. Having said that, there are also differences that are not related to the body but are on the foundation of sex roles. In whole, it is when we are taught how to be masculine or feminine. Sex roles are characteristic…

The origin of France’s national motto, “Liberté, égalité, fraternité,” stems back to the oratory of the French revolution. This motto presents an image of complete social equality between classes. In reality, the distinction between the haves and the have-nots was as rigid during the second half of the nineteenth century as it had been during the Ancien Régime. However for the recently established bourgeoisie, there was much more room to manoeuvre. Charles Garnier’s Opéra was built during the…

A trusted transformational leader will be needed and will thrive here. A transformational leader appeals to its follower’s ideals and values. They are charismatic and true visionaries. They inspire others to go beyond and work to attain goals and obtain greater accomplishments. The inclusive process allows for a more diverse and creative influx of information and problem solving avenues (MacGregor Burns, 1978). A transformational leader can breed admiration, instill confidence, and persuade…

Nursing Personal Goals and Values There are many professions in this world. As a child we always say we want to be doctors, firefighters, or even ballerinas. As a child I wanted to be a rock singer and then a writer and even at one point an art major. Like everyone else in this world we change what we want to do with our lives all the time. Many people still do not know what they want to do until their sophomore year in college or even later than that. All throughout high school almost everyone…

Poverty in Our Society While everyone can agree that poverty is a problem in this world, not everyone looks at this issue the same way. In order for someone to truly comprehend the reality and struggles of what living in poverty are like, one must first experience it for themselves, this is where the author’s opinions differentiate. Although What is Poverty? and The Poverty of Equality present the common issue of poverty, they are very different in their point of view, their perspectives…

It was the definition of grace and beauty as it glided through the pond. The upright posture of the swan reminded me of a ballerina. The feathers were white as snow and its beak and webbed feet were larger than I had expected. Suddenly, it started swimming fast towards us hoping for food, maybe bread. I felt excited. I would see this creature up close. I had never seen a…
