1. Lady Gagas costumes deserve to be in our library, because they are pure imagination, and creativity. Nobody else dares to dress the way that she does, and to some it is pretty inspiring. It is a new thing, most people would never think of the combonations she does. It is a mystery how she picks them out, too which ties into our class theme nicely. Along with this new way of dressing, she also doesn't care what others think about her style, which is a new way of thinking about things.
 * Why these items deserve to be in our library:**



2. Animal farm deserves a place in our library because, for one it is a great book, books do belong in librarys. It is a another good example of imagination, George Orwell shares his opinon on the Russian Revolution with the rest of the world, about things like marxism, and communism. He turns the somewhat boring historic textbook story into a new interesting story; his use of symbolism in it is amazing, another thing is that the creative use of animals appeal to younger audiences, like me.

3. Vogue definatly deserves to be in the library, It is one of the older magazine, it is still popular, and pretty famous to this day, it has been around since 1892. Vogue is made up by writers, they pick out styles, write collems, and lay it all out. It is a creative example of imagination, because in the magazines they think of new combinations, styles, and different articles, it is like a book but with an interesting layout, and pictures. These magazines helped elevate the ideas of fashion as an art, and photography to a higher level.



4. Moonlight Sonata is a classical song, written by Beethoven, and was completed in 1801. It is a famous sonata about six minutes long. It is a very good example of creativity, since he was deaf when he was writing it. He used sound vibrations to tell if it sounded good. He was writing about describing a lake through music. Most people wouldn't see the connection between music, and a body of water.



5. This image in the diagram is a picture of one of the first cars, thought up by humans and powered by steam. The first car deserves to be in our library, because it is a big advancement in technology. It takes a lot of brainwork to come up with a solution to a problem using a complex machine. In the time of the invention of the first car, it would have been a big imaginative new idea, like the use of jet packs to us. Back then it would have been a new and interesting idea to move without physical work.



6. The Magna Carta is a British charter, signed to give the citizens of England more civil rights, and less monarchy. It was a big advancement in law, it was a very radical different idea for the time. Before Europe's idea of law were just based on the church. This use of law revolutionized the law system of Europe's court. Some of the ideas from the Magna Carta were used to be make American laws.

7. This is a sugar sculpture made by chefs in the show, Food Network Challenge. It belongs in our library since it is a piece of art, like any regular painting. Food is probably a more creative sculpture idea, humans are the only ones who have the mental capasity to imagine and create things, we make food a more beautiful thing, and not limit it to only the nutritional value of it. Another thing that makes it interesting is that it was made by humans, in limited time, which needs skill and poseable thumbs.

8. In ﻿﻿﻿this picture, it depicts the first airplane built that could fly. The builders of it were the Wright brothers, Orville Wright was the one who flew it, but they both helped design and build it. It was also a major advancement in human-made technology. It revolutinized travel, shipping, trading, and military things. It is a very important part of history, and human thought, making it a good choice to put in a library of imagination. They were not the first to think of it, but had the courage, and patience to make their dream real.



9. In this picture is one of the first telephones made with a hand cranked generator. This was a big improvement in communication. People would finally not waste paper writing letters, or spend time making telegraphs. This is a pretty imaginative thing certainly above the time... Since it is a complicated machine, that can be used to talk to people, it is a series of complicated parts.

10. The object in this picture is the first camera ever made, which was made by scientists Robert Boyle, and Hooke in the 1660's. We decided to put this into our library because it is an artistic elevating type of thing. Humans came up with the idea to capture scene/pictures, and made an art out of it. Before things were hand drawn only, like the picture above. This is both an important invention in the arts, and other practical things.

__**Our Building**__

There are three main features on the outside of our building. First of all, the bottom half of our building is a perfect rectangle made of bricks, but it is painted to look like books on a shelf in a library. We decided to use books, because when people are writing books they start off with just a piece of white paper, then everything comes to mind, even if it is the craziest most random idea, which makes it imaginative. The top part of our building has crooked walls, windows, and doors, because most people would just build a square or rectangular house. But having the crooked shapes takes imagination and creativity to picture and build; it wouldn’t be your typical house. The third main feature on the outside of our building, is a giant violin, that sits straight up at the front of our building. It is where the door is to enter our building; it also contains the stairs that go to each level. At the back of the violin is where the long, spinning slide is located. You use the slide on the way out of the library, and it stops at every level inside the building. The entire violin is made out of glass, so it allows lots of light in. We decided to use a violin, because it takes imagination to create any kind of music for any instrument. Making music is also like writing a book, all you start with is a piece of blank paper. Then you write musical notes down, that will turn into a beautiful piece of music. That is our description on what our building looks like, and how it reflects imagination.

Paragraph:

There are so many things that represent imagination and many choices to chose from, but for my three choices I decided to write about if aliens exist, pyramids, and the unicorn. I chose aliens, because no one really knows if they actually exist, people have claimed to see UFO's, but no one actually knows if they are lying or telling the truth. Some people say that the government is hiding things from us, so that no one will start worrying or panicking, which is why they won't let anyone near Area 51. Many people also believe that there is no way that we are the only things living out in the whole entire universe, that is full of billions even trillions of planets and stars. It represents imagination, because no one is sure that they exist, and for some it is hard to even imagine. The next thing I chose are the pyramids. They represent imagination, because they are so huge, and humans are so small compared to them. The Egyptians must have had huge imagination to even think of building something that tall, with over hundreds of extremely heavy stones, that most likely weighed 3 times or even more as they did. The last thing on my list are unicorns. I also chose Unicorn's because they are not actually real, but for someone to come up with the idea of a flying horse with a long horn on it's head, must have had huge imagination. For young kids, they do believe in Unicorns still, because they're imagination is much more crazier than ours. Those are the three things that I personally think represent a lot of imagination.
