Narah's+Persuasive+Letter

December 8, 2009

Dear Mom and Dad,

I feel strongly that I should own a PS3, because I sometimes find myself in situations when I get terribly bored, and I think the PS3 would help, and it would make me so thankful if I got it. Also, you can watch movies on it(Blu-ray, which is, by the way, much more improved than watching a regular DVD in a regular DVD player.), and go to the Internet.

I understand that it is very expensive, and so, I am willing to chip in 100 dollars for it. I also know the situation when it comes to video games-you need to spend more time outside. Reflecting from some facts from NFL, The National Football League, announcements at school, I learned that "an average person needs to spend at least 60 minutes(an hour) outside everyday." That is the reason why I'm going to set a time limit for playing the PS3, and after playing it, I will spend 60 minutes outside everyday, if possible. Finally, I can see that you want me to interact more with people, full in person, and I agree. However, the PS3 is mostly used for playing games and watching movies. But I will try avoiding contacting people without actually looking at their face while interacting with them in any way.

Thanks Mom and Dad, for considering buying the PS3 for me. You've been the best parents I've ever had. I promise I will be responsible, obeying, and positive if I get the PS3.

Sincerely, Narah
