I should be aloud to watch
The Lord of
the Rings
because I am not frightened of movies. If I had nightmares, which I
don't really have anymore, I know that it is not real and there is
nothing to be afraid of because God is with me. I should also be able
to because I have seen other PG 13 movies before. I know that it was
nothing like The
Lord of the Rings
but that is okay because it wasn't scary at all. I have also read
most of the books so I know it would be scary, but not too scary. Dad
said I needed to read the books before I watched and I am.
For
almost a year now I have wanted to watch The Lord of the
Rings. So I think that after
a read the books I should be aloud to watch. I would stop pestering
people to let me watch if they let me! Then, you would have five more
minutes in the day to work! And you would not have to worry about
what to do for my birthday party!
I will not complain if I
can't go to sleep because I am scared, though I don't think I would
be scared. Like I said before, if I get scared I know that God is
with me and that those things aren't real.
You
might not agree with me because you say I am too young. I understand.
But I do not think so. My nine year old friend watches them and says
they are not scary and he is scared of cartoons that I am not scared
of! So, as you see, I should be able to watch The
Lord of the Rings.
I like how you wrote out why you think you should get to watch Lord of the Rings. Sometimes it is good to write out everything you have been thinking but couldn't say, and I know that you REALLY REALLY want to watch it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was your age, there were a lot of movies and TV shows that I really wanted to watch, but my parents didn't let me. It didn't feel fair because all of my friends got to watch the same movies. I didn't really understand why I couldn't because I had good reasons just like you!
Now that I am older and I have been able to watch them on my own, I understand why my parents didn't want me to. It's not that they would have been too scary while I was watching them--like you said, if you remember that God is with you, it's okay. The bigger problem is that when you are young,if you aren't ready to see something yet, the images will stick with you forever and will always scare your heart a little bit when you think about it. Then, rather than having a good memory of the movie, you will always be a little scared when you think about it, and that's just no fun!
I am hoping that I can have a Lord of the Rings party at your house in Huston. I think that when I think about The Lord of the Rings, I would think also about the books and the audio and the parts of the movie that weren't to scary; if there were any that were to scary.
DeleteThat's a good point, Elia. I hope that when you do get to watch Lord of the Rings, you will have only good memories :). - Rachel
ReplyDelete"Aloud" and "allowed" sound the same.
ReplyDeleteDitto for "to" and "too".
However they mean different things.
