At the beginning of the vignette, Esperanza feels self-conscious and holds herself down due to her shame and appearance (as an outcast). When Esperanza is finally willing to dance, her feet oppose her and she loses control over them like she describes, “my feet swell big and heavy like plungers”. Plungers, rubber suction cups attached to the end of a stick that are used to unclog
However, as soon as Julia acquires plays an actual part in this story, it turns out she has some flaws as well. The biggest one is that she is seen as..well, a whore to the public.

Another one of Julia's interests is mainly sex. If she knows she is able to do it, she can make it happen. Julia is one of those people where she doesn't care who the person is, she would try her best to do whatever she wants, and knows she can get away with it. One of her concerns would be rebelling against the Party. She doesn't seem to really care about Goldstein.

Edgar Degas’ Little Dancer Aged Fourteen is a symbol for all little girls with dreams bigger than themselves. The Little Dancer is a statue of a young girl made from all natural materials, created by the artist Edgar Degas. The Little Dancer has a small head with small features; Degas was not trying to emphasize her face, but her minute features display an expression of hope, almost jovial in a way. The air of her expression conveys the quiet discipline of a dancer and therefore her passion and love for ballet. The legs of the dancer are long compared to her torso, turned out, as a dancers always are. This turnout becomes natural after working strenuously every single day, trying to perfect the dancer’s art; standing parallel feels abnormal.
