Ivan is considered to be an "imaginary friend," but to himself and others like him, he is merely a normal person who walks, talks, lives, and breathes. He’s also simply in the business of making friends and guiding children during an important time in their lives. Having to leave the best friends was all part of his job. It isn’t a very nice part, but he believes in finding a positive side in everything, so the way he sees it is, if he didn’t have to leave his best friends, then he wouldn’t be able to make new ones. And making new friends is his favorite part by far. I love Ivan's attitude toward life. Though, he still gets a bit nervous about it. There is always that scary chances that people won’t like him and it gives him collywobbles. And that is tough wanting to be friends with someone who not wanting the same back.
As I said before, even since he started the job, parents have been calling him imaginary friend. And it’s really bother him. There’s nothing imaginary about him whatsoever. They just can’t see him. And they don’t like him so much. But he isn’t at all surprised because that’s usually way it goes. When his best friend invited him to lunch or dinner, the parents thought that making food for him was a waste because they always just ended up throwing it out. But it was trick for him, how did he try eating his meal while sitting squashed in a tiny place at the table while everyone looks at he and wonders the food is disappear or not. He eventually got paranoid that he couldn’t eat and had to leave the food on the plate.
