“Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future.” -Nelson Mandela. Children and young adults’ minds are like sponges. Anything they hear or see will be remembered in some way or another.

For my topic‚ I chose Edgar Degas’ painting‚ “The Dance Class‚” or often referred to as‚ “The Ballet Class‚” to discuss how his interpretation of ballet aspects are de-romanticized despite its era of late romanticism.

Edgar Allan Poe‚ a famous writer and poet who wrote hundreds of poems and books‚ was found dead in a ditch dead on October 7th‚ 1849. Though his death is mysterious‚ evidence shows that he most likely died from rabies. Two clues that stand out is that in the 1800’s Rabie shots weren’t invented yet and he also had symptoms of rabies. Many people argue about Poe’s death‚ but no one is absolutely sure how he died.
