Imagination allows everyone to go on an adventure of their own throughout any time in their life.

It is important to keep the mind active throughout the lengthy duration of life. “In order to create imagined future events, the individual must be able to remember details of previously experienced ones extract various details and put them together to create an imaginary event” (Association for Psychological Science, 2008, para. 2). Therefore, children who had a more active imagination in their younger years will be more likely to remember and envision upcoming events. Evident in the movie UP, Ellie and Carl envisioned their house sitting right next to Paradise Falls and with Carl’s determination; he was able to make it happen. Society allows children to grow up become something they aspire to
