1. The Perfect World
Cristof creates what he considers a “perfect world” for Truman to live “happily ever after” (or at least as happily as possible).

Paragraph 1: How does Seahaven compare to your world in terms of family life, neighborhood life, work life, and leisure time?
Paragraph 2: Would you choose to live in Cristof’s world of Seahaven? Why or why not?
The Perfect World

Seahaven that Cristof has created for Truman is just a routine.I think it is similar to the life that i live in a daily basis. in term of family life when i use to live with them in my country, it was a routine, unless there were some exemptions such as sickness or something serious has occurred. But in case nothing happened to anyone in a family member, then we just continue living the same regular life every single day. also, neighborhood life is much more similar, I live in a building of three apartments occupied by three people whom i see every day or at least one of them and I ask the same question, "hello, how are you" then wish him to have a nice day, and he will answer the same"I am fine thanks", just like "the Truman show" when he tells his neighbors hello "In case that I don't see you..good afternoon, good evening, and good night."
In addition, concerning the work life is similar too. i wake up at 6 am in the morning, i take a train at 6:30 to be at work at 7 and start my daily routine. 

i don't think that i can live in Cristof's world because is full of lies, and it is all made up. if I chose to live in the Cristof's world, it means that i will have to live under his rules, and commandment by what he considered right and wrong for me, like "the Truman show." Moreover, choosing to live in Cristof's world means that I lose the right to get a job that i want, to love and marry a woman that i prefer, unless i get a permission from Cristof. In conclusion, I prefer to live in a real world by deciding on my own what is right and wrong for me, and assuming the consequences.
