Compare And Contrast Great-Grandma From The Three-Century Woman
This essay will compare and contrast two characters from stories we have been reading, Great-Grandma from The Three-Century Woman by Richard Peck and Laurie from Charles by Shirley Jackson.
Both Laurie and Great-Grandma lie and misbahve in some way. Initially, their families aren’t aware that they’re lying. In The Three-Century Woman, the narrarator doesn’t know that Great-Grandma is lying until her mom tells her, and the mom doesn’t know until Great-Grandma said that her husband died young. In Charles, Laurie’s mom believes that it is another kid named Charles doing all those things until she attends the PTA meeting. Additionally, Laurie is naughty because he wants attention from his parents who have been occupied with his new baby sister.
