Charles

  • Description
  • Files

As the narrator sends her son Laurie off to kindergarten, she fears that her sweet child has become a “swaggering character.” Every day Laurie regales the family with stories about the misdeeds of his classmate Charles and the punishments he receives (which seem to embolden rather that subdue him). Laurie speculates that Charles may be thrown out of school. (Holt Elements of Literature, 2008)
