Philosophical Analysis of the Matrix Movie

The characters in the film, especially the main character Neo, have to choose to live in ignorance in what one believes to be reality; or to awake to the truth that what one sees as reality is an illusion. Oftentimes, I prefer to believe in wonderful ideas,…...

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” The story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is a tragic story. In my opinion, Mitty is not satisfied with his actual life so fantasy life is his secret life. He doesn’t like real world and the role he plays in life. Mitty is not sure of what he is doing in his actual life.

Sometimes to want something is better than to have something”.

Rightly said as so many of us have so many fantasies. Most of them are not possible or difficult to happen in reality. But to want it and feel it gives you a different zone or aspect to living in your own world.

Fantasy land in which you can imagine the things which are tempting, different, unusual, pleasurable, unbelievable. The fantasy land is open for all and you are the writer, director and actor of your story without any boundries.

Though we know that fantasies are difficult to happen in reality but when we fantasize it gives us different feel and enthusiasm.

.........By just writing a blog in TOI, I am now in the fantasy land of being a popular author and coming in limelight and people will take my autographs and also want to take selfies with me and post on social media that they are with famous writer and author ..........

It’s also called dreamland but being in dreamland would be a little stressful if it can’t get true and give disappointments, whereas the fantasy land is only for excitement or its a utopia.

Fantasy could be different for different ages, kids must have fantasies to be a superhero and want to fly in the sky and kill the devil, also have a fantasy to be a cartoon character and also that might study get exchanged with comics and video games and all time they can play in the Disney land.

Fantasy land is most worthy for the adult group as they use this aspect of thinking to charge up their monotonous life, relationship and physical life, these group probably live in this land and enjoy the life

...Older have fantasies to fulfil all the things which they have not done yet or wanted some exchange offer in which they can exchange their companion with their favourite person or celebrity....

So overall a fantasy land is magical land and who knows if the law of attractions work that could be turned in reality too.

So fantasize for your good state of mind.

Fantasy Story

Deep in the City of Chic, on the plant of Decorous, there was a school named Ennui High School. At this school there was a very interesting girl named Bliss. Bliss had long wavy golden brown hair. She had big blue eyes that were on flawless snowy skin. Her lips were full, and they were always the perfect shade of soft crimson even without lipstick.

Bliss just turned 17. She was doing well at school, but she really felt she was ready to get out of her old routine and see what else was out there.

One spring Friday morning, Bliss was sitting on the stoop of the apartment building were she lived with her parents. She was looking up at the pink and purple towering buildings around her. They are wonderful, but I’ve been gazing at these buildings for 17 years now, she thought. Just then a big silver cat walked by her. It stopped, turned around, and came up to her. It looked at her intensely for a moment then said, "You will do just fine."

After Bliss nearly choked on her tongue, she said, "Do just fine for what?" She had never seen a talking cat before, and she was lost in astonishment.

The cat said, "I need some help finding an illusive treasure."

Bliss replied, "Oh, and where is this illusive treasure?"

The cat answered, "I’m not sure but I know where something is that will tell us where the treasure is. And this thing is about 3 blocks away."

Bliss thought about this, and decided three blocks isn’t far. Besides she didn’t really want this talking cat walking out of her life. She said, "OK, lets go. What’s your name?"

The silver cat said, "Jest. Follow me."

They walked and turned corners for about 15 minutes. Bliss had always thought she knew the part of Chic that she lived in really well. They were only walking for a little bit. How did we get to a place I don’t recognize at all, she thought. She was following Jest into a light pink building. They went up two flights of red stairs, and down a hall. The floors, walls, and ceiling of the hall were royal blue. They came to an emerald door. Jest told Bliss to open it.

As Bliss opened it, she was shocked at how white the room was. There was nothing in the room except a magenta wand with a light pink glittery top in the middle of the floor.

Jest said, "Pick the wand up and ask it where the treasure is." Bliss did so to humor th...

... was made up of shiny platinum just like the outside. The walls, floors, and high ceilings were made of the enchanting platinum. The furnishings and the decorations were made up of glistering platinum and gold. It was breath takenly beautiful.

Bliss and Jest followed the wand up three flights of platinum stairs. They went into a hallway that was entirely gold. Bliss, Jest and the wand went to the end of it. The were in front of a plain, solid, gold wall. The wand told Bliss where to knock on it. When Bliss knocked on it, a flight of platinum stairs that were going down appeared in the wall. They went down the stairs and came to a solid pink ruby door with a platinum doorknob. Bliss opened it.

Inside was a room completely filled with diamonds. Each diamond was the size of a fist. They were so shiny and sparklingly. After Bliss got over her astonishment, she got the wand to transfer the diamonds, Jest, and herself to her bedroom in Chic.

“It’s like working in a magical kingdom, with fairy dust and everything” explains employee Lauren Marks. Lollipop Dream is a children’s boutique centrally located in the Westfield Fashion Square Mall in Sherman Oaks, CA. The store embodies nearly everything that a little girl or boy could ever imagine in a playhouse. They primarily specialize in parties for children; but in addition to that, they hold dance classes and even sell children’s clothing. The store is set up to replica a set straight out of a Disney Princesses bedroom, with beautiful chandeliers and bright colors everywhere. It seems as if working here would be equivalent to a fairy tale for any employee. But I realized that this wasn’t exactly the case after interviewing some of the employees in the store.

I wasn’t quite aware of what I was getting into before entering the store Lollipop Dream. From afar, it looked like a small little boutique for little girls, but the moment I stepped foot into the store I felt as if I were in Cinderella’s Castle. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the store was the inviting smell. I felt almost as if I was in candy land because the delicious smell of cotton candy surrounded me as I walked inside. The walls were beautifully decorated with paintings and unique designs, and the marble floors made me feel like I was in a castle ballroom. Every aspect of the store was carefully designed to make any guest feel like they had just stepped into a fairytale. A friendly hostess that wore a frilly pink skirt along with a tiara on her head immediately greeted me. She gave me a tour of the elegant store without for a minute releasing the smile from her face or her peppy tone of voice. The store had 3 different partitions to accommodate...

... to bid Lollipop Dream a farewell.

Lollipop Dream seemed like more of a castle right out of a fairytale than a boutique to me. Everyone and everything in the store gave made me felt as if I was a princess living in a children’s bedtime story. The owner, Elizabeth showed such compassion towards her business, it was no surprise that her store has become so successful. The positive feedback that the customers expressed shows the large impact the store has on their feelings. Even the employees love what they do, despite the happy front they must put on for the children. Even though the children are often a hassle to deal with, everyone at Lollipop Dream loves what they do and they do what they love.
