What is a long term summary for the Shirley Jackson short story, "Charles"?What are four rising actions in the story?

Shirley Jackson's short story, "Charles," tells the story of a mother watching her little boy transforming from an angel to a holy terror right before her eyes. Laurie is the young son of the narrator who is suddenly becoming unmanagable, due in part, the mother believes, to a new friend at school--Charles. In the end, the teacher tells the mother

"Charles? We don't have any Charles in the kindergarten."

There is no Charles: It is a wakeup call for the mother, who realizes that all the bad stories about the non-existent Charles were actually committed by her own Laurie.

Rising action occurs when:

• Laurie comes home from the first day of school, slams the door and screams at his parents.


• Laurie gleefully tells his parents on the second day of school that Charles has hit the teacher.


• Laurie is rude and disrespectful to his father, calls him "dumb," and then laughs "insanely."


• Laurie reports that Charles has finally been good at school and has been rewarded with an apple.
