Age ratings, scary films and choosing what to watch, sentence 1

A rating is not there to annoy kids; it is like the depth sign at a swimming pool, telling you where you can stand and where it is too deep for now.

Who acts: G, you · What happens: annoy, be, tell, stand · To what, where: kids, swimming pool, you · Speech: someone speaks here
