    By all but one definition, Misty Copeland, is an unlikely ballerina. According to dance legend George Balanchine, “the perfect ballerina has a small head, sloping shoulders, long legs, big feet, and a narrow rib cage”. Despite fitting this description, she recounts in a number of response letters received from dance tryouts that she “lacked the structure”, “had the wrong body for ballet” and was “too old to be considered”. It seemed as though the dance world had in its mind another idea of what a prima ballerina should be. Rejection letter after another exclaimed she simply would not fit.…

    When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning It Was Friday Summary

    Every one communicates in unique ways, often saying the same idea in a totally different way, using their own personal viewpoints this is clear after reading “When I Woke up Tuesday Morning, It was Friday” by Martha Stout, I realized she had the same opinion as Juhani Pallasmaa and Oliver Sacks. All three of them believe that in order to get the most out of life people must try to take in as much of their environment as possible, through their five senses.
