A ContinuationThe Never Ending Story

“Could I please have that book,” says Bastian.
“That story will have you as one of the characters and it could scare you,” explains Mr. Koreander the bookstore owner.
“Well I’ve read more than 80 books; I think I can survive this one”
“If you say so……”
As Bastian tries to get The Never Ending Story from the bookstore owner, he will shortly be able to get what he wants as well as be capable to read it. He really wants to be and try to be brave. The Never Ending Story is a German fantasy novel written by Michael Ende and the movie was directed by Wolfgang Peterson in 1984. Bastian always wanted a friend, an excellent friend to have fun with and talk to. Then he discovers a book in a bookstore near his home. As always he wanted to get the book, so he did decide to get it, but he skipped out of school and stayed away from the bullies from his school. Taking a day off and reading the book was something he was required to do. As he read he went from being disliked to having a world of friends in the Never Ending Story.
“Fine. I guess you can have the book… but I’m warning you,” the bookstore owner says in awareness to not have a young boy read the book.
“Okay… warn me all you want… but thank you!” Bastian says happily.
Now that he was able to take a day off, he went off into a never ending story. Emotions were apart of everything in the story. Appreciate that using his imagination was a big part in his life as a child.

“I’m ready to fly!” Atreyu, the main character of the story, says in excitement to Falkor, the flying dragon dog.
“Hang on tight!!!! We are going for a wonderful ride!” Falkor explains!
They ride off to save peoples fantasy minds and to save in what people should believe in. They are there to help people in any way they need! All they wanted to achieve was the quest of saving people’s imagination. Although Atreyu wasn’t able to save imagination, he tried. That’s what he always wanted to do - was save someone’s imagination.

“Get out of my territory” Gmork the Evil, black werewolf scowls to Atreyu…
“Explain to me why this is your territory and I can’t save people’s imagination” asked Atreyu walking past a cave to save what he thinks is right.
“I don’t care what you think is right, leave before I hurt you,” Gmork.
“NO. You don’t deserve to be like this, you’re lonely, friendless, and you don’t talk to anyone about your problems. That’s why you don’t care about anyone else, but you know what.. Provided that you can use your imagination, you will have a friend to talk to!” Atreyu tries to cheer the werewolf up, and encourages him not be so mean to people coming through his area.
“If I try it, will it work? What if something happens? It doesn’t go right?” meaningless replies Gmork.
“It will work, if something goes wrong then, use your imagination to change it. It’s not hard at all!” admonished Atreyu.
As the werewolf starts to be more friendly to people, he gets to be pleased that someone encouraged him to use his imagination.
“I wanted to save children’s imagination, but I didn’t have enough time to do it,” explains Atreyu unhapply.
“Etreyu, we understand what you did, we are pleased with what you did to save imagination of children.” The Child-like empress was cheerful with him because that was the best anyone ever did to save their life. Anyone that could have done it, could have failed at saving their home, but there is always one person that is always willing to fight for what they believe in.
More children need to start using their imagination, with how The Never Ending Story was; it shows that imagination is important in everyone’s life. It shows that even though you may not have many friends, you can always still have your imagination to have friends. Always needing a friend is always what someone needs. Reading a book can always bring you into an imaginary world with more friends that you could ever think of. Once you see that your life could change with imagination, you will be able to use it more often.
