Well the title says it all. I'm doing a thing at school asking about gender roles and cyber safety, and well I need to add in how the gender roles on females may be impacted by the more male population on the internet, even if this isn't true.

My draft;
The dance, "Tears of an Angel" was performed back in 2013, and is about a bully victim, who was helplessly assaulted, with people passing by not helping. This essay is about the struggle of the victims and how easy it is for them to lose all hope and give into the bullies. In the dance, you can see two groups of people; people dressed in black, the bullies, and people dressed in white, the victims, and you can see through-out the dance people casually walking by not caring or noticing what is happening around them. The music is slow, and sad to represent the distress the victims are going through.  The composer of the dance is a friend of the victim who had been moved in such a way she felt that creating this dance will show people what is happening in the world, and how it is such a horrible thing.
The non-movement components used in this contempary dance show a vast variety of things, from the colours of the clothing to determine and analyse who the bullies, and victims are. The bullies and people who choose to ignore the people being bullied, are wearing black to show more muscularity and strength. Lighting used in the dance, usually is only pointed in a big group, but lights up when the people split away. The background is a very dark place, showing how dark the world can be around you when no one chooses to help you, instead leaving you behind.
The movement components used in the dance "Tears of an Angel" are both, very soft but at the same time very masculine. The people in black are strong, surrounding the people in white so they can't escape, leaving them in the middle with very soft movements, with not enough room to do anything more.  As the people in white start to break away, the bullies move to them, surrounding them again, limiting their movements stopping them from getting away.  The people in white are constantly being pushed down using a variety of different leaves, and positions to show how powerful the bullies can be, and how they'll try anything to get above their victims, to overpower them, to make them feel worthless.
In summery the dancers did a very good job demonstrating how hard it is for victims to escape their bullies, and how unfair it was to them, having people walk by not caring, whilst they are being surrounded, helpless, unable to do anything for themselves. The dancers did excellent work showing how easy it is to be ignored, or even not noticed when you need to be noticed the most.


If you have any tips or ideas to help me improve please do help, every bit of help is needed. I need to hand this in tomorrow, and my final on the first day of school next term (4 days away with 2 weeks school holiday)

Here is how to play, firstly you answer the person above by choosing one of there answers, then you ask a question yourself starting with
"Would you rather <option a> or <option b>
Then continue by answering it yourself, and why. I will start off by doing two so you understand.


Would you rather be, Owner for a week or Admin for a month.
I would like to be admin for a month because it's more time to help people!


I would like to be Owner, more power >
Would you rather be at the beach, or movies!
Beach because I like to swim ^-^

Ok so I found a huge problem im going to start with. In english some people are from different countries so they spell/do stuff differently to others. I know there are some rules that Americans have that say Australians don't have, how will that be covered? Also on the topic of rules here is my suggestion, making a page for all sorts of rules like spelling rules, maths rules and all that so people wont have to ask for them in every topic, they can just look at the one topic which has them all!
