There is some room for some changes and annotations, like PBL and Antgirl said, but all in all, a very good essay indeed.

Thanks. I have another question I’d like to ask, as I’ve missed too many episodes to ponder it properly. What rights, if any, do Imaginary Friends have in the Foster’s world? I can only imagine that, if Imaginary Friends were “real” in the “real world”, the government would be using them as cannon-fodder soldiers and there would be a lot of illegal activity going on. Fortunately, Imaginary Friends seem to be rather well treated in the Foster’s universe, and from what I recall, they’ve pretty much integrated into society without any questions being asked. However, can humans do things that Imaginary Friends aren’t allowed to do? Can Imaginary Friends own their own property and so forth? I wish I could answer my own questions, but I’ve practically missed the entire fourth season, except for a few episodes, and I need to seriously catch up before I can do anything of that sort.
