Pilates was created when Joseph Pilates was held captive as an “enemy alien” in England during the start of World War I. While imprisoned, Joseph tied springs to hospital beds that allowed patients to exercise without resistance while in bed. After being freed and returning to Germany, Joe’s fitness techniques became popular among dancers. What’s interesting and unique about Joseph is that he was interested in the Greek ideal of a man being balanced in body, mind, and spirit. Joseph looked to animals

typical behavior to differ. Instead of her usual botherless attitude towards racism, Morrison describes the change in behavior through a change in height. “Pilate had been shorter. As she stood there in the receiving room of the jail, she didn’t even come up to the sergeant’s shoulder- and the sergeant’s head barely reached Milkman’s own chin. But Pilate was as tall as he was” (Morrison 206). Pilate's

one of the first characters that comes to mind is Pontius Pilate.

INTRODUCTION OF PONTIUS PILATE Pontius Pilate served as the prefect of Judaea from 26 to 36 A.D.

He could arguably be considered the single man who changed history as we know it. The gospels do not explain much about Pilate and his background. The only time he was really introduced was during the trial of Jesus. He was acknowledged a few times to show he was the one who followed through with the crucifixion,
