Torture is like when someone does something really mean on purpose to make another person feel very bad or hurt. Imagine if someone was holding your favorite toy and not letting you play with it, even though you really wanted to, just to make you feel sad. That’s a little like torture, but much worse because it can hurt someone’s body or feelings a lot.
Think about when you have a bad dream and you feel scared and want to wake up. Torture is like making someone feel scared or hurt on purpose, and they can’t wake up from it until the person stops. It’s like a never-ending bad dream that someone else is causing.
Imagine when you are really cold and you just want a warm blanket. Torture is like keeping someone cold on purpose and not giving them a blanket, just to make them uncomfortable and unhappy. It’s like taking away what they need to feel okay, just to make them feel bad. Torture is very wrong because it makes people suffer on purpose.
