Quotation Connection

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.”   Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

        In the book Someday Dancer by Sarah Rubin Casey is faced with a decision that will affect her whole life. Should she make the long journey to NYC and try and make it big? Or should she stay at home in her small town with her mom and grandma? Casey decides to go to NYC and try out for the ballet school. Not only does Casey's grandma pass away, but she also does not make it into the ballet school. 

       This quote means that once you lose everything you are able to get a fresh new start on life. This quote is related to Casey because she feels like she has lost everything and has no way of following her dreams now. This is until Casey was introduced to a new dance school that she can try out for. Casey ends up loving this contemporary dance school. She is also very good too!  Also, during the ballet tryout Casey met a friend named Andrea. Casey and Andrea become very good friends. 

         Casey loves it in New York City. She gets great parts in dance shows for her studio too.  If Casey had not taken the chance and gone to NYC, she would have never known what great talent she really has! Also, Casey would have never met Andrea. If Casey were to stay home it would have been very hard for her and her mother due to her grandmas death. Casey probably would have had to take on a full time job in order to help bring in money for her poor family. In the long run, this decision of going to NYC was a very good one. Casey was able to live her dream without being held back by anyone or anything.
