Charlie's Short Story

In “The Alligators” by John Updike, it is clear that the opinions of others shouldn’t affect your own opinions. Some may argue that the theme is bad people can learn to love. Evidence shows that the theme is the opinions of others shouldn’t affect your own opinions. In the story, Charlie was being mean to Joan, just to fit in.

Charlie also threw many tantrums at the local supermarket, causing other people to stare at both brothers. In fact, Charlie had to be dragged out from the store because one of his violent screams, much to the dismay of his brother.

Before Charlie had the operation preformed on him, he had friends at the bakery he worked at. They were not really his friends because

Pastor Stephen Russ says, "I would point anyone who is asking questions and asking questions like why would this happen? And why do bad things happen to good people? I would even tell them this Jesus asked God why and it's okay to ask God why if you are okay

During the interview, Charlie was seated in front of a photo of the actual Nicholas. He looked back and forth at the photo and “Nicholas”, and he knew that he could not be the boy he was claiming to be. Charlie was familiar with a tactic for identification adopted by Scotland Yard in which ears were a means of identification, just like fingerprints, and the two in question were remarkably different. Charlie could not let the mystery of Nicholas Barclay go, so he began to speak with neighbors who said that before Nicholas had gone missing, the family constantly argued resulting in the police being at the residence two or three times a month.

But when he saw his sister getting slapped by her boyfriend for being annoying he couldn't do anything right away except telling his English teacher, Bill about it.

Victoria checked the backpack of ANFO. “It’s ANFO Charlie, an enriched fertilizer. Soak it in diesel and it’s the most powerful explosive this side of a crate of TNT.
