Answer:

The fact that Laurie's mother doesn't realize that Laurie is Charles develops the story's theme in the sense that:

A. The mother's fascination with Charles's behavior and excuses for Laurie's home  behavior develop the theme that parents are often blind to their own children's  faults.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "Charles" by author Shirley Jackson. It is told from the perspective of Laurie's mother. Each day, coming back home from kindergarten, her son Laurie tells a different story about a boy named Charles who misbehaves at school. Laurie himself is misbehaving at home - being impolite, ignoring his parents, mocking them... Yet, <u>his mother and father never make the connection that Laurie is lying about the existence of this other kid. They become so fascinated about Charles, so eager to meet the mother of such a troublemaker, they don't realize their own son is Charles. They even take advantage of Charles's "existence" to justify Laurie's bad behavior, claiming Charles is influencing him. Blind to their own son's faults, it is only at the end of the story that the mother is told by Laurie's teacher that there is no Charles in their classroom.</u>

Central ideas are the most _____ ideas in a text.
siniylev [52]

Central ideas are the most IMPORTANT ideas in a text.

They are the central, unifying and definite themes or ideas of an article or story. They cover all the aspects that are needed in order to create a main idea that is coherent. Without a central idea the text would not be coherent as it could addres different topics that have nothing in common, making it senseless. In an essay the central ideas are supported by the arguments, for example a central idea could be: Bees are important for our planet. In that case supporting ideas can be: They pollinate flowers. They make honey.

As you can see they are the spine and base of the text.

How do suspense and tension differ
Dima020 [189]
~ Tension is how much the reader care's about your characters. If the reader doesn't like your characters, enjoy spending time with them, or care what happens to them, that's what editors call, "Lacks Tension." Believe me. I've had enough return letters to prove it.

Suspense is how much readers care what will happen next? If you keep them guessing, that's suspense.
