I had to read story in my English class back when I was in like ninth grade. It was an interesting story to read but at that time in my life I thought the short story was kind of borderline. I was raised in a family under the belief that boys and girls were not to be naked in front of each other beyond a certain age. Now that I am an adult, I look back at both the short story and the movie and I see just how innocent nudity really is. I mean at seven years old she has not yet begun to develop her breasts yet and to her she looks just like one of the guys. Taking a look at one of the lines from the movie "I never once felt naked" goes to show that she doesn't really understand the fact that young girls are supposed to wear tops in front of boys, well at least that's what society forces onto us, and that she didn't see anything wrong with what she did. I can sympathize with the character because being raised with four sisters I understand how hard it is for them to find a two piece that fits right and will not reveal your nipples when you go to lift up your arms, plus my youngest sister did the same thing when she was the same age. Other than that I believe that both the movie and the short story were tastefully done and that all parents should show this movie to their kids because in my opinion it just goes to show that nudity really is innocent in the minds of our children.
