What bahaviors did Charles exhibit on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

In the
short story by , a young boy, Laurie, starts kindergarten and soon begins to relate to his
parents the strange behavior that one of his mates, Charles, is exhibiting.

In response to your question, there are two sets of Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
described by Laurie in the story, and on each of these six days (with a third Thursday mentioned
as well) Laurie reports disturbing behavior from his friend Charlie. During the first week, on
Wednesday Charlie hurts a little girl by hitting her head with the seat of the see-saw. On the
second Wednesday, Charles disrupts story hour by his screams. It is worth noting that, as
reported by Laurie the punishment for his behavior in the first instance is that he was not
allowed to go outside during recess, and by the second week his excesses are seen as routine. In
a sense the teacher is tolerating his outbursts.

On the first Thursday
Charles drums his feet on the ground and is made to stand in the corner, and on the second he
hits a boy in the stomach, making him cry. However, Laurie also mentions that on the third
Thursday Charles has become helpful, handing out crayons, and is so good the teacher gives him
an apple. (This is a good example of contrast.)

On Friday the first week,
Charles throws chalk and is punished by not being allowed to use the blackboard. The second
week, according to Laurie, Charles was again kept in detention after school, and all the other
kids stayed to observe him €“ same as on the second Monday.

Of course, by the
end of the story the author gives us a clear indication that Charles is a figment of Lauries
imagination and that it is in fact Laurie himself who is responsible for the disturbances in
class, which represents a twist in the tale, or an unexpected ending.
