BRAVE

In the movie "Brave", a princess called Merida changes her mother and herself by meeting a witch and channging her mother into a bear. Her mother wants Merida to be perfect. She doesn't let her play with her bow, which she likes most in the world. And then, she finds the witch's house. The witch gives her a cake and the cake turns her mother into a bear. To turn her mother back to a human, she has to mend the tapestry she ripped with her sword. I think that Merida's behavior of wanting to do only doing only what she likes is bad. This is because of two reasons. The first reason is because it brings a fight and the second reason is that It will change one's fate.

 

The first reason is that it will bring fights. In the movie, Merida's mother wants her to be neat, clean and perfect. However, Merida herself wants to ride her horse and shoot arrows in the forest. That is why they had a fight. Because of this fight, Merida tares the tapestry apart and finds the witch to change her mother. The witch changes her mother into a bear. Like this, fights can lead to very unpleasant ends. If she had interacted with her mother well, they wouldn’t have had a big fight. To interact well and not have a fight, one has to respect the other’s opinions and not do everything one wants.

 

The next reason is that It will change one’s fate. If one only does what one wants, one will not learn what he or she needs in their lives. In society, we cannot survive with only doing what they want. They have to do what the society can feel that it is useful. If Merida only did archery and riding horses for the rest of her life and not follow her mother’s words that she needs to be neat, she wouldn’t have been use of anything except of being a soldier and princesses doesn’t become soldiers.

 

I think that Merida’s behavior of doing what she only wants to do is bad for two reasons. The first reason is that it will bring fights and the second reason is that it will effect one’s future.
