RE: Risen Hope

You offer a very interesting twist in this story, @royaldiadem. There is so much explained by the ending. We know now why the mother resists Marie's ambition. We know perhaps why Marie is such a natural dancer. We also know why (perhaps) the 'master' takes an interest in her dancing.

It seems that the ending is left open, but that is not true. The story as it happens up to this point in Marie's life is complete. In the future she may meet her father. She may decided to dance. She may have a serious conversation with her mother. But, the central conflict of the story is resolved. We understand why Marie's mother resists dancing and why Marie loves it.

Good job.
