Explanation:
Charlotte ran through the playground toward her friends. She barely got to see them because they didn't go to her school or live nearby. As she ran, her long dark curls bobbed down her back, her blue eyes shone with excitement, and her cheeks flushed. She ran up to friend Sue and hugged her excitedly. Sue's long, dark curls bounced as she skipped up and down, thrilled that Charlotte was finally here. Her friends Cassie and Aaliyah came running over, their long, dark curls bouncing down their backs. The four identical girls laughed together as Sue's younger brother Tony came running over, tripped, and fell, getting himself filthy. He fixed his shaggy dark hair as his friends ran up behind him. They all had mussed, shaggy, dark curls, and as each looked into his friends' blue eyes, they were solemn. For about half a second. They all laughed uncontrollably at the crazy expressions on each other's faces. Sue's and Tony's mom came running over. Her pinned up curls were loosening and becoming mussed up. She scooped Tony in her arms and took Sue by the hand. Together the family walked away from the park. Charlotte groaned."Why can't we all just hang out together?" Carrie sighed with her as her dad strode over and took Carrie's left hand and Aaliyah's right hand. Their dad's curls looked almost exactly like Carrie and Aaliyah's younger brother and Charlotte's own dad. Come to think of it, all the boys looked exactly the same. And, Charlotte realized, so did the girls. She looked exactly like her mother, Carrie and Aaliyah, and even Sue. Looking in the mirror, she could easily have been staring at any of her friends, or even a photograph of her mother at eight years old. As she looked around, she saw girls just like her on the slides and boys just like Tony, and just like her own brother, Carlo, on the swings. Moms just like hers sat on the benches and chatted. Dads just like hers were pushing the swings and the carousel. She even looked somewhat like the boys, and they looked like her! "What's going on here?" cried Charlotte. It was a good question. What, indeed, was going on in Xiankon City?
Answer:
Cultures have always had legends and stories of fictional cities, and appear commonly in stories of early mythology. Some such cities are lost (Atlantis), hidden (Agartha, Shambhala[2]), destroyed (Ys[3]) or can only be reached by difficult means (Asphodel Meadows[4]).
During the mid to late 16th century, several expeditions were made by various groups of people in order to locate what they believed to be a city rich with gold; El Dorado. In 1541 Gonzalo Pizarro, governor of Quito, Ecuador, banded together 340 soldiers and about 4000 natives and led them in search of the fabled city. That same year, Philipp von Hutten led an exploring party from Coro on the coast of Venezuela. Despite having been disproved by Alexander von Humboldt during his Latin-America expedition (1799–1804).[5] There are some people who still believe El Dorado is yet to be found.
Other fictional cities appear as settings or subjects in literature, movies and video games. Most superhero and secret agent comics and some thrillers use fictional cities as backdrops, although most of these cities exist only for a single story, episode or an issue of a comic book. There are notable exceptions, such as Metropolis and Smallville in Superman, Gotham City in Batman, Stephen King's Castle Rock and Emerald City which appears throughout Frank L. Baum's Oz Books and appears in several film adaptations and animated films.
