This version of the book titled The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson was much better than any of the other versions I have read. This version includes more in depth details about what actually happens to the little ugly duckling. The detail helps the reader better understand what is happening in the book because they can actually picture the different events that are taking place. The book is also better because it has detailed pictures of each event that is taking place so the reader can

ballerina, but also the best ballerina in the world. The next part is called "Taking the World". This part will start with a very interesting event that occurred in 1997. Suddenly it began to rain during Plisetskaya's outdoor performance of The Dying Swan. However, the audience forgot to open their umbrellas as they were fascinated by her show. Also, another remarkable thing happened. A designer Pierre Cardin was a part of the audience that day, and at the end of the show the ballerina and the designer

Sayers: [weakly] I felt it. Thomas Leroy: What? Nina Sayers: Perfect. I was perfect. The movie “black swan” ends up with the conversation between the Nina and Leroy. The story is a depiction of a professional and perfectionist New York ballet dancer Nina going astray and ultimately her madness leads her to self destruction. Her pursuit of the leading role in a classic theatre production “Swan Lake” paves her way to the later breakdown. When it seems like her hard work finally pays off, the dichotomy

Orlando Gibons, The Silver Swan, the tempo is very slow and some words are dragged out and made longer. Lyrically, the poem is rather sad and gloomy. Speaking about a swan that ends up dying, a gentle and elegant creature that is easily compared to humans. The analogy between humans and swans can be seen as considerably strong.

Sophomore year of High School we took a trip to New York to visit The Metropolitan Art Museum we spent the full day immersing ourselves in the artwork. It was the trip that would inspire me to become an artist. We arrived to this momentous building with lots of stairs I was eager to be off the bus and see what the museum held for us. We were greeted by our guide and we began our tour which would only be part of this magnificent day. It must have been one of the first things we came across and the

Opening night at the KC. Absolutely love-love-love Ratmansky's ODESSA!!! The steps, execution, the costumes (tacky polyester is just right here), the mood lighting, the music -- oh, how I love the music! The theme is part Grigorovich's GOLDEN AGE - with its 1920s nightclub for criminals - and part bastardized IN THE NIGHT (featuring three couples in diverse stages of a relationship). What a cast, especially the three principal ladies...Sara Mearns, Sterling Hyltin, Ashley Bouder...partnered by
