The Open Window and Charles‚ both show how children can use their imagination to empower adults. The children in the stories used their advantage to convince the adults into believing something that wasn’t true. The adults seemed so unobservant and unconcerned to what was really happening around them. The kids knew that it would be easy to get the adults to believe them‚ even though they knew it was wrong. These two stories were both written about‚ in my opinion‚ a deception of curiosity. Laurie
