Essay Topic:
This photo story depicts and clearly outlines the life of a dancer. It shows how much time and energy must truly be put forth to achieve your dream.
Summary:
This essay makes me think back to the days of that I used to dance. It reminds me of how much time and dedication go into one single performance. Reminiscing brings back bittersweet memories. Although there is only one photo that accompanies this essay, it says more than enough. It's the image that you see if you were to look inside a ballet class during the warm-ups. All of the girls lined up along the barre, stretching and going over basic techniques before the intricate work begins. I love the fact that the picture captures the entire class. It isn't merely focused on one particular girl. It shows the bond that they all share through their common dream. The copy that is provided to the one photo is quite a lot. It is an interview more so than a caption or little story. Being able to read the dancer's actual words, and see her personal point of view make it easier to understand her journey.
These are two very distinctive but equally interesting topics. Your piece on the dancers reminds me of the movie "Black Swan".
