Megan's+Persuasive+Letter

December 7, 2009

Dear Mom and Dad, I believe that I should have a TV in my room. I can understand why you don't want me to have one in my room. However, you stated that you thought if I had a TV, then I would never come out of my room and spend time with the family. I would only watch TV in my spare time after spending time with the family. You could also put a limit on the times that I could watch my TV. Another reason you said is that you couldn't monitor what I watched. There are only a few things that I like to watch and I wouldn't watch anything that you didn't want me to. You also stated that, I wouldn't have any time to watch it after homework and horseback riding. As I stated above, I would only watch the TV in my spare time that I'm not busy riding, doing homework, or spending time with the family. If I had a TV I would be eager to finish my homework so I could get upstairs and watch my TV while doing anything I would do to my room, for instance cleaning my room. The most important reason why I think I should have a TV is that it would keep me entertained. It is also something that would be important to me and I have wanted one for a very long time. Christmas is coming up and you could split the cost with other family members that keep asking you what I want for Christmas. Also since it is around Christmas time, there are lots of sales on electronics. I don't want a giant flat screen in my room, I am asking for a small TV with cable. Thank you very much for considering my reasonings of why I think it would be good for me to have a TV in my room.

Sincerely, Megan
