Dance
.... dedication.
Dedication to ballet, or dance in general, is required to become a professional dancer. The dancer must practice every day with the attitude of professionalism in mind. During the awkward teenage years, only the people who are meant to be dancers will pull through.

.... heat.

Difference Betwen Iago And Othello
.... to team up with Edmund and his military group to destroy Richard at last.

Thou teachest me” (Act V, sc.ii, lines 32-33) this was one of Othello’s last words. The tragedy proved Iago’s brilliant and victorious villainy. Shakespeare manifests his ability to clearly use .....
