a criticism of the education system
as a child he felt like he was in a prison "jail" and when he left the classroom he's "free"
his imagination is contained in the classroom and then we see the contrast when he leaves the classroom as his imagination runs wild - the power of imagination in a child
in his imagination he "flies to Africa" and gets involved in a battle, someone "bombed the park" and he sees "a spaceship" - this occurs on his walk home from school - turns ordinary objects into these amazing imaginative things
"fuck winnie the pooh" - the classroom isn't allowing his imagination to soar as it should and his imagination is on fined to childish things
