Talk:Arthur's Big Hit/@comment-24669562-20140601034341

William's thoughts:  How can I say/explain myself on, this? This was kind of a sad episode (I don't think "sad" was the word I was looking for) but this was a sad episode to watch. I can tell you now, both Arthur and D.W. were wrong. So was Binky.

Admittedly, Arthur should never have hit his sister I can tell you that much. I like Arthur much more than I like D.W. but that's no reason for him to hurt her. I know he told her several times NOT to touch his airplane and she should have listened to him.

It was terrible that D.W. got Arthur's plane and tried to fly it out the window only to watch it fall and break, and boy did she get in trouble with Arthur for that, he did tell her time and time again not to touch it but she didn't listen. Maybe she forgot, or maybe what Arthur's been telling her fell on deaf ears. That's little kids for you. All of us, myself included, were little kids at one time.

I understand Arthur's anger at D.W.'s disobedience, I mean he spent a week more less on that plane and worked hard on it and I would be angry too if someone destroyed something I worked really hard on, especially if didn't want it touched. Even though I can see shades of gray, Arthur went wrong when he hit his sister. I would get in trouble too if I hit my sister and I did. I've hit my sister a few times, usually if she hit me first, and I still got in trouble, and even though it wasn't fair, or didn't seem fair, but now  I fully understand.

It did upset me a little that Arthur got in trouble and grounded and I understand his refusal to apologize to his sister. He told her several times not to touch the airplane and she did it anyway and, well I don't know if I should say "she kind of deserved it," cause I don't want to and cannot support people who do wrong, even my favorite cartoon characters.

And then despite his doing wrong, Arthur refuses to see what bad he's done, and I would have too if I was Arthur. And nobody takes his side, not his parents and not his friends, they're all against him and on D.W.'s side. Arthur probably felt like no one cared about him or what D.W. did, but D.W. isn't their sister. That doesn't matter though. Binky, Molly, Rattles, and that unnamed dog character, aware that Arthur hit someone and unaware of who he hit, Binky's friends tell him to hit Arthur if he sees him.

Then finally when Arthur gets hit by Binky, something Binky was trying to avoid, though he (Arthur) did nothing to hurt or upset Binky. But Arthur doesn't immedietly see what he put his sister through, at least not completely and when he tries to tell his parents what Binky did to him and how Binky is, they're still not on his side. So Arthur, and I don't know if he does this from his heart, or just does it grugingly, but he realizes that no one is ever going to take his side of the situation, gives up, and sees what he put D.W. through and then apologizes to her. Well it had to be from Arthur's heart because it took him getting hit by someone else (even though this didn't have to, and shouldn't have had to, happen) to see what he did and how he made D.W. feel, and he goes up to Binky and thanks him for helping him to see what he did. Unlike Arthur though, Binky immedietly felt bad about it, and he never wanted to hit Arthur even if he did deserve it. And Binky may be a bully or maybe have been until "The Last Tough Customer," but he has a heart of gold, unlike Molly, Rattles, and the other Tough Customers, or used-to-be Tough Customers.

I do feel sorry for Arthur, but I cannot condone what he did to D.W. He was right to be angry with her, but when he hit her, that's where he went wrong. Sometimes I want to take his side but that would make me just as wrong as Arthur. And I don't like D.W. that much, but it doesn't matter, as bad as what D.W. did, what Arthur did was even worse and he got in more trouble than D.W. must have.

I hope Arthur remembers now that "Two Wrongs DON'T Make A Right." I've had to learn that myself. And when you're wrong, don't expect anyone to take your side.

Alright I'll hush up now, but I had to express my thoughts about this episode, because I know how Arthur feels and even though he was wrong, I do sort of feel sorry for him, but I know what he did was unacceptable and he had to suffer the consequences for it.
