A Memorable Journey My most memorable childhood journey to date is visiting Shanghai with my family. It is the year 2002 and I can remember the details of each place. I can remember the food I and my family ate. It's all still so fresh in my mind. There were many famous tourist attractions of Shanghai. The most unforgettable place was Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The Tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest. This creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. This 468 meters (1,536 feet) high tower is the world's sixth and China's second tallest TV and radio tower. It was a Sunday morning when we left home. We spent 2 hours on the way to Oriental Pearl TV Tower. It was the first time to hold global animation fair. The fair attracts thousands of visitors. The display was held in cartoon drawings, cosplay contest, and other activities. At the fair were an exhibition area, costly performance area, e-sports experience zone, Japan, Europe, and the cartoon image was everywhere. My favorite activity was protagonist's cosplay. Cosplay,short for "costume play", is a performance art in which participant wear costumes to represent a specific character. Cosplay is known to show creative behavior, you can see these cartoon fans heart dress.There are usually some identified cosplay celebrities that effectively represent your favorite character.You can purchase one you love to be your idol. Today, people all around the world are involved in cosplay's fantasy fun. In the noon, we went to the revolving restaurant, where we ate seafood and drank juice. We were enjoying the beautiful view while the seats revolved. The restaurant was a great place that let people repose. I was able to fully relax myself there. It was proudly

    Participants simply needed to dress appropriately for the specific genre. It wasn’t until 1984 that the term “cosplay” was invented when Nobuyuki Takahashi, a Japanese reporter, combined the words ‘costume’ and ‘play’ after a trip to WorldCom in Los Angeles (YsabelGo). Nowadays it is not unusual to see cosplayers at conventions around the world taking on a complete character role either of the same sex or opposite sex.…

    Imaginative Journeys

    • 1188 Words
    • 5 Pages

    An imaginative journey can be defined as an extension of reality that transcends physical barriers. Through the use of abstract notions and an element of surrealism, an imaginative journey can result in distortion of the boundaries between imagination and reality. This type of journey involves readers by drawing on their imagination and can therefore result in the transformation of perceptions and attitudes, which may also stimulate a sense of enlightenment for both the characters and the responder. These characteristics are evident in the three texts I have studied, “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare, Victor Fleming’s, “The Wizard of Oz” and “Sky High” by Hannah Robert.…

    Clarification Step: “The reason I chose this topic is that if I have anything to talk about which I know so much about, it’s cosplaying. It’s something that everyone knows I do and something I’ll be confident enough to talk about. Now, if you’ll ask about the credibility of what I’m going to say, I’ve been cosplaying for 5 years and if that’s not long enough to know a lot about cosplaying, I don’t know what length will. As a proof, here’s a compilation of my past cosplays since the year 2008 up to present. But before I move on, I’d like to remind everyone that everything I’m about to say is purely based on my own opinions, observations, and perspective. “…

    A Spiritual Journey

    It is a great feeling going to a place where it’s a huge matter in one’s life. “Revisiting Sacred Ground” N. Scott Momaday had made a pilgrimage which his Kiowa ancestors. Momaday has said,” There are certain villages, and towns mountains and plains that, having seen them, walked in them, lived in them, even for a day, we keep forever in the mind’s eye.” Just like how Momaday relived his ancestor’s trails, I had a chance as well. I was lucky enough to be able to go on such a sacred journey that people would pay in thousands of dollars. The pilgrimage I would like to talk about is the one I took to a sacred city in India called Badrinath. I follow Hinduism, and in Hinduism there is a saying/belief that if we go on this enriching, and spiritual journey, we will go to heaven after we pass. I have a guru, like a living god, who I listen to and look up to. He took me on this spiritual journey.…

    The imaginative journey is one in which we escape reality and are invited to acknowledge a new reality within the realms of the imagination. These journeys offer change and discovery providing valuable insight into ones past, present and future. Coleridge's poems, "This Limetree Bower My Prison" and "Frost at Midnight" take the reader on an imaginative journey with the character through various forms of imagery placing a clear image in the readers mind. The book cover for "The Ivory Trail" by Victor Kelleher offers an artistic representation of the journey with images superimposed for added effect. The movie "The Butterfly Effect" co-directed by Eric Bress and J.Mackye Grubber is based on the chaos theory in which every little occurrence leads to a much larger event. The TV Show "Lost" follows the lives of 14 survivors of a plane crash placed in unrealistic circumstances on a strange island. These texts represent what the imaginative journey has to offer in a variety of ways.…

    “The Road Not Taken” (Clugston, 2010) and, “A Worn Path” (Clugston, 2010) are two well written examples of life’s journeys that I am going to analyze and compare. “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost’s (1916) (Clugston, 2010) is a poem that talks about choices in life. “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty’s (1941) (Clugston, 2010), is a short story that explains the tale of an elderly woman’s journey for the love of her grandson. Both stories share an important message about life, and choices we are forced to face on a daily basis. Both of these stories share the same theme, the literacy elements, but these two pieces differ in many ways.…

    As children we spent most of our lives exploring and learning new things with the help of our parents. There are some memories very vague but others that we will remember for the rest of our lives. These memorable moments could be the simplest to most complex things but as children they were a big deal to us. A childhood journey that I find extraordinarily memorable was the time I went to England with my parents because I traveled across the globe and I experienced different adventures.…

    One cold morning, just as the sun had risen above High Street, two men, both in black, dashed hurriedly out of the Merlin Bank. One of the men wore a beard, and both were trim and fit looking, in their late thirties or early forties. They both carried briefcases, from which large denominations of banknotes were poking out; the first man was also carrying a sack with rectangular shaped packets silhouetted against the side; he called out to the one following, “Get a move on, Gilbert; we will miss our connection at the end of Thief Road, and then, dear fellow on to Cadiz.”…

    Road tripping is supposed to be fun and exciting. It gives me an opportunity to jump in the car and explore something new. In the summertime 2008 when I got my 99’ Dodge Intrepid back from the previous accident, I begun my road trip to Yellowstone National Park in early morning. As I drove down the road, I soon realized that I had never been anywhere alone before. This was a new feeling for me, one of strength and fear rolled into one.
