Most of the people think that going away is as simple as taking an airplane. When I was a child, I though at my short age that flying to different parts of the world was very easy as going from one cloud to another cloud and having the idea that those cities that I visited were on the clouds. Everything stated by watching “Peter Pan”, the fantasy about flying from London to Neverland, but to be honest I thought that airplanes had the same magic as Peter Pan where flying was as easy as taking a regular taxi in the street.
My family gave us a lot pleasures for my sister and I when we were kids. One thing that I do remember like if it was yesterday is when I step in my first airplane to go from Bogota-Colombia to Santa Marta-Colombia. Being at the airport, I had to create my own character into the moment, moment that I will be departing magically from our cloud in Bogota and landing to the cloud of Santa Marta because I was really scared at some point that my legs were shaking like a mixer and did not understand how the airplane could stay in the air for so long. Moreover, my sister was on the paper that we were going out of the country which it was another city in Colombia.

I do agree with the sentence that good fantasy is social commentary combined with good storytelling, because the imaginary world of clouds, Peter Pan, illusions, powers, magic, etc went so down to reality when my sister asked into the airplane to the fly attendant about how the airplane worked. However, I was so affected with the answer that I looked around for Peter Pan or Wendy until I realized with my eyes open that many things in life actually exist out of the cave as we live sometimes, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.
