I feel like our imagination helps us develop who we are. If we didnt have any sort of imagination then we wouldnt be able to imagine ourselves being great when we "grow up" and we wouldnt have much motivation to really do anything. I know a lot of people use their imaginations to escape reality. They may doing something proactive like drawing, or painting, or they might just lay down and let their minds take them on a journey. Our imaginations are who make us who we are and allow our creative side to come out. When we are young our imaginations allow us to prepare for whats to come. For example, like shopping at a grocery store, or playing house and pretend cooking. All of that comes from their imaginations and it helps them prepare for the real world. Imagination helps children grow up to be adults who are creative thinkers. Adults who were imaginative children often become problem solvers, innovators and creative thinkers.
I think with Buck the reason that he has been able to make it as far as he has is because using your imagination allows you to cope with difficult situations or new circumstances. He uses his imagination to be different from all of the other dogs. He trys to not fight anyone and keep to himself. But in the end he has to end up fighting and he uses that imagination to win.

I agree with how you described imagination for humans. I like how you showed imagination incorporated in our daily lives.
Go beyond just agreeing. What about this is so powerful? I think part of it is that imagination is normally though of as something special that is reserved for key moments in life, when really those who truly use imagination to help them achieve greatness actually are constantly using imagination to help solve everyday issues. It is like an inventor who makes the most brilliant invention. Normally, those inventions have to do with everyday life. Take the wheel for example, or fire.
