Answer:
“‘All this toughness, and bad grammar, and this Charles boy sounds like such a bad influence.’” ( Paragraph 21)
Explanation:
"Charles" is a short story penned by Shirley Jackson. The story is about Laurie, the protagonist of the story and his alter ego, whom he named Charles.
The story begins with Laurie's mother describing bad behavior of Laurie when he started going to Kindergarten. Soon, the story turned to the story of a boy named Charles, who created trouble in the Kindergarten. Laurie would narrate Charles story at the lunch time with so much of interest to his parents everyday.
<u>The author has scripted the story in such a manner that it draws similarities between the behavior of Laurie and Charles. (It was actually Laurie who was creating trouble in the class, as there was no one in the class named Charles. Laurie used to tell his own stories to his parents by naming himself as Charles.)</u>
The quote that supports this claim is in Paragraph 21, which says,
<em>"All this toughness, and bad grammar, and this Charles boy sounds like such a bad influence."</em>
Thus this quote is the correct one.
