my teacher told me there is no point in doing LORD OF THE RINGS because it is set text 4 the advanced students, so some schools might already be doing that and apperently it is not acceptable. what a shame hey

are you kidding asking for additional suggestions? i know some are more easily used than others..but heres my suggestions...every single book or movie in existance is an imaginative journey in some way or another....all it takes is some articulation

I just thought of Atlantis
I donno if its a story or anything, coz i havn't read the plato thing
But i know its kinda gives speculation about the world n stuff

Search for atlantis, by a old guy with a beard i forgot his name
its about this captain, and theres 3 other guys who are trying to get married to this high class/rich chick which i forgot about

What about the disney animated film one? i havn't seen it, the cartoon where some guy with parkinsons (spelling?) voiced the main character i think, i forgot his name as well

Michael J Fox.

Hmm..For a respectable 'Imaginative Journey' supplementary text that wouldn't be widely used, how about;

Anton Chekhov-Steppe. It was his first major short story, and is literally about a journey taken along the steppe, so that the child Yegorushka can move onto the next stage of his life, into boarding school, leaving behind his former life in the process. Unsurprisingly, events happen, and Chekhov uses several techniques to convey the journey to the responder. :)

The boy gazed at the familiar places, while the hateful chaise flew by and left them all behind.

The full text can be found either in several Anton Chekhov anthologies (For instance, 'The Chekhov Omnibus'), or online, at;
Steppe

I've heard that some markers don't look highly upon 'popular' texts such as the films posted in this thread, although it all ultimately comes to expression and exposition.

According to our teacher, it can be an imaginative journey on the part of the character or the composer. So by that logic, these two texts would be good, because both show the journey of the authors imagination.

P.S she also said basically anything which isn't realistic (talking animals, flying, etc) is an imaginative journey.

the whole speculative, inspirational thing is to do with the syllabus. It is the three facets of the imaginative journey, and i spose it is pretty important. It spells it out for you in the little blurb about each of the journeys though on the syllabus outline, so its nothing to stress about
