Which evidence from "Charles" supports the inference that Laurie's stories about Charles are really about himself?

English

zmey [24]3 years ago

Answer:

  • O "Charles?' she said. "We don't have any Charles in the kindergarten."
  • "We had a little trouble adjusting, the first week or so,' she said primly, 'but now he's a fine little helper. With occasional  lapses, of course."

Explanation:

In the short story <em>Charles</em>, we learn about a boy named Laurie who just started kindergarten. Everyday he would come back with stories of a badly behaved boy named Charles.

During a Parent-Teacher meeting, Laurie's mother goes to see if she can meet Charles's mother and talk to her about him as she feared that Charles could become a bad influence on Laurie.

It was here that we find out that Laurie may have been talking abut himself this whole time because first off, when Laurie's mother asked about Charles, the Kindergarten teacher remarked that they did not have a Charles in Kindergarten which meant that Laurie had made the name up.

Another clue that Charles was actually Laurie was the teacher mentioning that Laurie had now become a fine helper even though he gave them a little trouble in the first week. This statement by the teacher tallied with the actions of Charles in Laurie's stories.

Interview: Why the US Should Decriminalize Drug Use


Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health declined drastically—one day he even passed out in the courtroom. Neal eventually pled guilty because he would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if he took his drug possession case to trial and lost. He told us that he cried the day he pled, because he knew he might not survive his sentence.[1
