8. Culture

I just got back from a great trip to New York that I took with some thespians from school. We went to four shows in three days. All of which were phenomonal. One of the shows that we saw was called "Billy Elliot". Billy Elliot is the story of a young boy who developes an amazing talent for dancing.In my opinion, it was the best musical we saw. For many people, culture means only things like religion and heritage. But according to my mom, culture can be what is important or who you are to anyone in particular. It can be heritage, food, family, music, traditions, pretty much anything. For Billy Elliot it was dancing. Dancing becomes apart of him. At one point, Billy sings a song about how dancing makes him feel. It is called "Electricity". The song talks about how dancing makes it feel and how it completes him. Dancing is Billy's culture, what is yours?
