Answer:

In "Charles," Laurie's actions, beliefs or interactions with others develops the conflict in the story.

Explanation:

Shirley Jackson’s story “Charles,” narrates the story of a kindergarten kid Laurie who comes home every day with a stock of stories about a boy named “Charles.” Laurie describes how horrible Charles is and tells his mother what the latter did in school that day but the reality is that it is Laurie who does such deeds and uses an imaginary boy’s name and character to shift the blame. Here, the conflict is purely internal.

On hearing these tales, Laurie's mother worries that Charles is a bad influence on Laurie. But the entire confusion gets resolved at the end when she goes to the parent-teacher meeting and figures out that it is Laurie who is Charles. An example from the text states this conflict: Laurie while addressing his bread and butter said that the teacher had spanked a boy for being fresh. The mother asked that what had he done and who the boy was. To which Laurie replied that it was Charles .
