this is just my first three paragraphs.
An imaginative journey is the speculation and exploration of the mind such that we can travel into a realm where reality is considered and fantasy is created. As we travel into these fantasy worlds, repsonders can improve and heighten their understandings about imaginative journeys. Such texts that epxlore this notion are poems "This Lime Tree Bower My Prison" and "Frost at Midnight" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge which offer to put our understanding to the test and provide us with self satisfaction. Similarly, other related texts such as the visual book cover of Merina Mesiha's "The Ivory Trail" and the animated film of "The Lion King", directed by Rob Minkoff and Roger Allens which offer a form of transportation of our mind into fictional dimensions.
In "This Lime Tree Bower My Prison". Coleridge creates an imaginative journey which the protagonist embarks, thus allowing the release from physical confinement. This is symbolised by the "bower" and is reflected by the use of personal statements, which the protagonist initially describes the bower as a "prison" as opposed to when he is "glad, as I myself were there! Nor in this bower" Obviously, he is physically confined; however, through experiencing this imaginative journey, the progatonist has psychologically overcomed and released himself from physical restraints.
