What are the settings in "Charles" by Shirley Jackson?

The
settings in the story are the home and the school. Laurie is a little boy who lives in a house
with his parents. The story takes place during his first year of school. Almost all the action
occurs in the home and consists of interactions between the boy, his mother, and his father. At
the beginning, through his mother's eyes, the reader sees him walking down the street. Although
the school is an important setting, the reader hears about it almost exclusively through Lauries
tales of what happened there. A possible opportunity to go to school for a PTA meeting and meet
another parentthe mother of the problematic evaporates when Lauries parents have to stay home
with their other child, who is ill. In the last part, the parents finally go to the school for
the next PTA meeting. There, they learn from Lauries teacher that Charles does not existor
rather, as they conclude, he exists only in Lauries mind. The reasons for his behavior are not
further explored.
