what is ironic about this excerpt?
the ballerina is described as beautiful, but she is actually hideous.
the news bulletin being read on the television is about harrison.
the ballerina is able to read the news bulletin flawlessly while wearing a mask and handicap bags.
the handicaps devised to conceal the ballerina’s strength and beauty actually accentuate them.
