In this post I would like to write something about the style of writing the author Melvin Burgess uses and the structure of the book. At last they are proud of Billy and take part of his new life in a new world, far away from working class, miners, strikes and boxing. So the conflicts between Billy and his father and brother end. But Billy wins: Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true! Billy´s dream is so powerful that he is convincing even his father and brother of it. Ballet and boxing are cantrary and Billy and his father are contrary too. The working class (= miners) and the middle class (= culture, ballet teacher. This people have not enough to eat, the whole day they work hard or strike and all the time they are in fear of unemployment. He also wants to show us the hard and poor life of the miners, the strikes and the existential anxiety. He has changed his personality, he became more self-confident and we should do the same like Billy. The auther wants us to model oneself on Billy. When sombody loves a special hobby he should realize his dream. He has the opinion that a girl can box and a boy can dance ballet. The author Melvin Burgess wants to say that there is no typical boy or typical girl.
