Dear Josh,
You would never believe what happened last week in our small county here. Top Hollywood stars raided our town to film a movie blockbuster!
I couldn't believe it. I saw Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DI Caprio, and many more stars. The whole town was excited and we could barely hold our excitement. The coffee shop was buzzing, everywhere was absolutely electric.
From rumor going round, it appears that they are filming a science fiction movie. Can you imagine the absolute scenes!!!!!! Of course., I know they would use CGI to change the appearance, but it is a landmark for our town.
I also heard that they were hiring some locals to be a part of some crowd stuff that would just be in the background and look menacing or something. Tom, Jim, and Mike went yesterday to see if they could get a slot.
There were drones, big film making stuff and the likes, lights, action and so on. Man, I wish you were here to witness this, yourself. Well, I got you covered, I'll take some pictures for you.
Yours faithfully,
Rani

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>
