It is physical in the way Li Cunxin had to work hard to be a professional ballet dancer and it is also mental as it is a road to self-discovery. The autobiography is also extremely inspirational and inscribed in first person‚ therefore this allows the reader to see the personal journey of Li. I believe this text also relates to Shakespeare’s

Magua tricked the british by thinking he was on their side ‚ when he was “leading” them to Fort Henry when he was really there to attack the troops. This portrays a bad image on the Natives because it makes them look like they cannot be trusted (add more)
