Imagination

Imagination is very important in life. No mater what your age is if you are creative and have imagination life is a lot more fun! Imagination helps make life more interesting and it helps make life still feel new and exciting when everything really is dull and boring especially when we grow up. Growing up we are always told use our imagination and we all at one point or another looked at each other and thought why does very one keep saying this, it was to keep us dreaming. We were told to use our imagination to keep us dreaming ad believing that we could do and have whatever we wanted. 

In the film Big Fish imagination is shown a lot. Edward Bloom the father has a very creative and big imagination. He is constantly telling stories and making up obsurd things that no one would believe. He used his imagination so that no one would forget about him, even if the stories were crazy and unthinkable his family still remembered them because of that. His imagination was huge and it was unlimited.

Romanticism Writing Prompt

If I had the freedom  to develop a life that is perfect for me right now with absolutely no restrictions it would be a lot different than the life I live right now. I would change things about all aspects of life, to make it easier to live. Today technology runs everything, I'm constantly on my phone checking my twitter, my instagram, texting or just searching the web. Doing this wastes so much time. I go hours throughout the day checking my phone everything happens so much quicker now too because everything is a click or response away. I would change this, I would make it so that the internet was still there but that it didn't run our lives so much. Things like twitter and instagram would still be around but it wouldn't be able to be accessed as much. There would be certain times were it could be accessed and others were it couldnt. This would help people live a life more in reality and less through the web, but negative outcomes could be that it would take longer for information to get from person to person.

Another thing I would change is how school worked. School now a days isnt even about learning as much as its about just getting good grades. I sit through seven classes a day and by the 2 o'clock bell I couldn't even tell you 5 things I learned. This is because school isnt even focused on that anymore its all about getting high grades and standardized testing. Students are so stressed about grades and the future that they don't even enjoy school theyre just cramming for the next test or paper they have to do. I would change this by making there be less testing in schools, this would take the pressure off students allowing them to focus more and want to take part in the class conversation because they have a clearer mind and not the thought that they need to know every word everyone says for the test next week thats looming the back of their mind. While this would be really good for most students, a negative outcome could be that some students just don't pay attention at all because they know they'll never have to worry about questions about this topic counting towards their grade. These are just a few of the many things I would change if I had the power to do so.
