Throughout the book, a very important message is conveyed; fight for what you love, and enjoy every part of it. At the end of the book, Misty's last words are, "I have made my mark in history and ballet. I will forever fight, performing as if it's my last show. And I will love every minute of it." These words are the perfect way to end this book since they leave a lasting impression on the reader. They sum up every part of her life that she shared into one meaningful and overall theme. This theme can apply to anyone's life, even if you aren't dreaming of becoming a professional ballerina. Misty hints that, if you forget about what everyone else tells you you can and can't do, you can reach your dreams. Now, Misty is finding plenty of ways to show this message to everyone, through not only her book, but speeches, advertisements, donations, and plenty others. For example, a recent Under Armour advertisement she did shows that even if everyone else tells you otherwise, you can achieve whatever you set your heart and mind to.

Conclusion
I have just recently finished the book, Life in Motion, by Misty Copeland and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is not only interested in ballet, but to anyone who is looking for a very inspirational story. Throughout this entire story, Misty is constantly being told that there is no way that she will ever be a ballerina because of her body and her race. But that, nor the struggles with her family, ever held her back, since she was determined to become something great. As a result of all her hard work and dedication, Misty was able to be where she is today; a soloist at the American Ballet Theater, a dream of thousands of dancers.

Hi Alyssa! This seems like a really good book! Even though, I am not a dancer, this seems like a book worth reading because it has a good theme and her life seems very interesting and inspiring. I like how you included a quote from her because I agree that it really summed up the book well.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, this seems like a very inspirational and uplifting book. I like how you included the line at the end of the book and how it contributed to the overall theme that if you forget what people limit you to do or not do, you can accomplish your dreams. The way you described this book makes me excited to read it.
