Cosplay!

   Cosplay is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Cosplayers can be from little kids to adults. They often interact to create a subculture on role play. A broader use of a the term " cosplay " applies to any costumed role play. The favorite sources include manga and anime, comic books, video games and films. Any entity from a real or virtual world that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject. The cosplayers mainly have three purposes which are the following;

a) The first is to express adoration for a character, or in feeling similar to a character in personality, seeking to become that character.
b) The second is those people who enjoy the attention that cosplaying a certain character brings. Within the cultures of anime and manga specifically, as well as science fiction and fantasy.
c) The third is those who love the creative process, and the sense of personal achievement upon competition.

    In conclusion, cosplaying is more than dressing up. It's a way to express yourself within a character that may have an effect on you. It's a chance to be another person for one day. I think they should be more activities like this in the world. It helps a lot in many ways. For example, it makes you socialize with people who share the same passion as you. The teenagers get involve on how to project a character rather than how to use drugs or alcohol. It helps them stay busy and out of trouble. You learn a lot of interesting things about anime, books, movies, etc. Cosplaying is just an positive escape from the mad world.

P.S. My English Professor should do a cosplay and have fun with it xD
