"Every once in a while I'll write you a letter. But I'm still too scared to send it."
Point of view: a young girl
Issue: wants to met her real mother but is scared that if she does her fantasies of what it will be like, will be ruined
Elements on page include: letter to mother, diary entry, ballet shoes, photograph of mother dancing, framed photograph of the mother, crumbled piece of the past letters writen and not sent
A young girl who has never met her mother but is old enough to know who she is, idolises her and watches her dance, as she is apparently a famous ballerina. She girl knows her mother gave her up for her career and hasn't made an effort to contact since but still she attends her mothers shows and practices ballet so that they might one day meet and dance together and be happy. Despite her happy fantasies there is still that element of fear that her mother will not like if she meets her, or as to why she didn't wish to keep her in the first place and so the girl never sends the letters that she writes and they wind up crumbled about her room. The only photo which she has of her mother is framed and keep aside a photo of her mother dancing in one of her shows.
