Saki's Stories and the Impression they Create about Adult-Child Relationships

Since I was a kid, I had a ton of responsibilities, cleaning up after myself, doing chores, managing to not fight with my brother, although we fought all day everyday, but you know, it happens. One thing that I didn't know wasn't normal was parenting your parent. I go to school do all my class work and during recess and lunch I listened to all the other kids talk about going to the park after school and eating dinner together with their parents. When I got home from school, I had to do my homework and then take care of my mother. Bring her things she needed such as food, water, help her with many other simple everyday activities.

Agency in children’s literature allows the child reader to experience a degree of autonomy in the imagined world, which the child does not possess in a world governed by adult rules and authority. However, a close reading of Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh and Collins’ The Hunger Games demonstrates that children have more power and agency than they believe they do. Although children’s worlds are controlled by various restrictions, children possess the power of imagination, the ability to create their own worlds, and that is their source of autonomy and agency. As they grow older, they gradually start losing that agency as they enter into the adult world, a world governed by a different kind of obedience.
