In this
story,reveals her mastery of construction as linked to character by precisely controlling the
reader's access to information about "reality." Laurie's mother is portrayed as an
involved, concerned parent. The difficulties that Laurie is experiencing in school are
understandable on one level because, as a good-natured, trusting boy, he is bound to be
impressed and even troubled by ' acting out. The parents' reinforcement of their affection for
their boy should reassure him of his security within their home. The mother intends to raise the
issue with the teacher to see if further steps are needed. Perhaps Laurie is overly sensitive or
is exaggerating.
Butthat is only the way things appear to the parents. Have
they missed important cues? Did Laurie make up all the incidents? Did he do some or all of the
things...
