__**Is it a Utopian world? Or a dystopian world?**__
There are many answers to this question. Some might say, "Yeah, it's completely utopian." Others might say, "No it's definitely dystopian." Most would probably say it's a utopian world simply because there are no parents and you never grow old there. Younger adults and children would agree with this because who wants to grow up and become an adult and have to do adult things? I think the kid in all of us would agree with this. If you asked someone with no imagination or no inner-child, I think they would say that this world is dystopian because of the fact THERE is no parents or rules or anything for that matter. The only down part about this place is that there's no real food. It's all make believe. There is a movie called "Coraline," and it's about a young girl Coraline who is an only child and her parents basically ignore her. She moves into a new house and follows these mice who crawl through a miniature door into a "yarn" world. In this world her parents give her so much attention, buy her everything, and basically tend to her every need. Other stories include "The Wizard of Oz." Dorothy, a young adult, lives on a farm with her aunt and uncle. They want her dog to be destroyed and she won't stand for it. So she runs away and falls asleep and winds up in Oz. She meets some good friends, sings all the time, and has a great time. Places like these allow people to leave reality and get their mind off things. Even adults sometimes fantasize about another world where everything is perfect.
