Hello /lit/, I need your help.
Basically, I have to write an essay about how physical activities such as ballet may actually nobilitate the human body and radically change our perception of it.
To do this I need to quote works by english, american or italian authors from the 19th or 20th century, do you happen to know any?

tl;dr:
>need books about ballet/ballerinas...
>author must be english/american or italian
>must be from 19th/20th century

Stop writing. Don't ever write again. Don't even text. Seriously consider self immolation.

When you see the word "archaic" in a foreign dictionary it means "Don't fucking use this word" especially when it's definition is just a contemporary word like
>ennoble

You came off as one of those cunts who thinks using a thesaurus to replace random words with more obscure synonyms makes him smart. Or like a African American who tries to come up with a fancy word but fucks up hilariously.

archaic or neologism or common, it doesn't matter at all. you're ignoring the music of language in favour of a narrow-minded puritanism of sense.

Why do you have to be so childish? I'm asking a question; if you know the answer please share your knowledge, otherwise why would you even bother commenting? It's just common sense, I think

Because you're laughably stupid and this is a homework thread you should be b&4
We do this thing where we're super mean to people who suck and should fuck off.

Stop bumping you homework thread like you don't know how slow /lit/ is.

You don't lurk here, you don't post here, you popped in expecting help with your homework and being a cunt about it. Childish even. We know the childish pro-
OP comments were you OP. You aren't that clever.
