Reality is what you want it to be. Reality is a term that is used loosely‚ but comes in many different variations. There has never been or never will be one way to interpret reality‚ as it is built up of beliefs and values which vary from person to person.

An interesting character in the film The Truman Show’ by Peter Weir was Truman Burbank‚ played by Jim Carrey. The film is about a reality TV show which revolves around the life of unaware Truman.

one of my new favorite TV show is called‚ Glee. It’s about a group of rejects in high school joining an afterschool club that sings and attempts to win another championship‚ which has not been achieved for more than a decade. Glee club is taught by a Spanish teacher named Will Schuester who graduated from the same high school and also won the only Glee club’s national trophy.

Virtual reality is something that personally excites me because uses and benefits of it are
