Imagination

Imagination is an important quality that everyone should have. Imagination allows people to think in different ways. It allows them to be creative in their own ways. It is important to use imagination when you're a little kid. Imagination helps kids with developement. This allows kids to question about the future and what they want to do when they grow up.  Paul Harris, a development psychologist says, "The imagination is absolutely vital for contemplating reality, not just those things we take to be mere fantasy." Imagination is very important in everyone's life. 

A connection that can be made to the flim, Big Fish, and imagination is that Ed Bloom uses his imagination when he's talking about the past and how he meets a witch who tells him that he is going to die. Ed also makes up stories using his imagination. He feels as though his imagination allows him to be special in his own way. Will and Ed Blooms lives would be different without imagination though. Ed would probably be depressed because his life is not what he wants it to be. Will might understand who his real father is instead of imagining things about him.
