In the Door in  the Wall, by H.G.Wells, a boy called Wallace when he was five years old, he saw a door in a Wall. That door was green and the wall was white. Into the door there was a garden that had animals, flowers and it was a fantastic place. Then inside in the garden he found a woman that represented his mother and showed him a book and inside it he saw a summary of his life. One of the themes in this story was reality versus Imagination.
Reality was represent in the story because Wallace compared his misserable life with the life inside the garden. He was a Politician as a child , He suffered the loss of his mother and his father´s rejection since he was a very busy man. Then he was a man with many skills, he was a brillant worker who could have made it to the cabinet if he had been alive he was a good student and he was good at sports.
Imagination was always present in the story because it represent to the life he imagined in the garden. Wallace´s imagination had been opressed by his father to become a successful man. It was also present when he entered inside the door and the door did not exist, It was Wallace´s imagination because the door changed the Position all the Time. He was so eager to find the door again.
We can say that another theme could be loneliness because he was the only one who was able to see that door. His mother was dead and his father pais little attention to him. Ad a result of his loneliness we can say that his mind had created the door in order to make him imagine things that would make him feel lonely.
In The Door in the Wall Wallace showed the reader wht any person would do if they felt lonely. I found this story interesting because It constantly made me think when he was going to cross the door or not. The author was constantly shifting between the two main themes in this story and vept the reader´s attention.
