Cunning. Crafty. Creative. Cruel. “Charles”, written by Shirley Jackson in 1948, is a rather chilling short story about the vulnerability of a young child’s imagination, about the fantasies of the human mind, about the manipulation of humans, and about the insidious dangers of change.

With a closer look, the viewer would realize that it's not the original and would continue to look and analyze the poster. At a closer observation, you can see that instead of a single female, like in J. Howard Miller's work, there are 3 colored women standing right next to each other because they literally "stand together."Going along with Rosie the Riveter's arched brows, the women's bold, challenging eyebrows

The short story, “Charles” by Shirley Jackson, occurred during the 1950’s, at a young boy’s home and in his new kindergarten class. Laurie is a young, impressionable student who was attending his first year of school.
