Answer:

There is a change in the children's perspective of Boo. As a young child, their imaginations go wild and they have superstitions about Boo. The children begin to learn what it means to be empathetic towards someone. The kids are full of suspicion about Boo in the beginning. They were fearful of Boo, but then they realize that people were just gossiping

Step-by-step explanation:

The children learn to think for themselves and they now understand about Boo so much more than when they were younger. It was a game just to run and touch his house. Now, they are past those times in their lives and they are empathetic towards Boo and the rest of the people that they had suspicions about.
