Freedom of Life, Controlled

*Author's Note*
This is my response to the Truman Show. 

Have you ever felt out of place? Felt there was something everybody else had that you didn't? During his entire life, Truman has felt the same way. He has lived his entirety in a dome, built to house him along with thousands of others. He was raised from birth with a fake mother, fake family, and an artificial life. He has lived only for entertainment, and he knows nothing of it.

Truman is the sole star of a world hit television show called, "The Truman Show". In it, his life is portrayed through extremely tiny cameras. Throughout his life he has been wanting to leave the tiny town he has grown up in, but every chance he gets has been undermined by ideas or force. After countless attempts, he has grown frustrated and curious. Why can I not leave? Only during brief periods of attempts to inform him of his life and world has his suspicion been aroused.

Television exists because people are confused and frightened throughout life, and television helps to restore your confidence in ability and existence. If ever you feel as though you are strange, irresponsible, or have too many vices, television pictures characters or real people with problems similar to those you have. It could be put as, "A series that lets you know you are not alone".

Life poses many problems that not one man can answer. Therefore, an fictional world was created to restore people in confidence. If you feel that you are out of place because you like jazz music, a television show might showcase a very famous and renowned person who also liked jazz. The Truman Show was created to show people that you are not alone, and that there is another person out there who is just as awkward as you feel.
