Answer 1

Question: What does King assume distinguishes children and adults in their attitude toward scary situations? or complex ones?

Answer: Children have not had many life experiences therefore after they watch a scary movie they will think its real and be scared for a whole week. Adult on the other hand have much experience and knowledge, because adults have so much knowledge they are the one's who children look up to. I know this because in the article it states "the young; by the time on turns 40 or 50, one's appetite of double twists or 360 degree loops may be considerable depleted."

Question: Why would adults want to become children again?

Answer: Adults would want to become children again because its a prime stage of your life, kids do not need to worry about the bills to pay, a job to earn the money to pay those bills or cook, clean, do your civic duties to vote serve on juries and more. I know this because in the article is says "the mythic, "Fairy tale"  horror film intends to take away the shades of gray. It urges us to put away our more civilized and adult penchant".

Answer 2

So they don’t have to worry
