the story, which says: ‘’I kneel before the gods and the thought of what I am about to do stings my eyes like incense’’. The first thing I thought when I had read the first couple of lines, was that it sounded like the mother is going to tell the ballet teachers that Pearl couldn’t dance there anymore. She tells how hard it had been for her family at the start, so the author probably wants the reader to put her/himself in the mother’s place. Right after she tells that she probably spoiled her, but

After watching the documentary “Ballerina,” the training methods took me by surprise because they put in so much work for the craft. I’ve done ballet before all the way from when I was little to my high school years, and seeing how much dedication the dancers put in is amazing.

However, the music seemed to be classical ballet music. In the beginning
