Question

Character sketch of Nicholas in the story the lumber room

Answer 1

Nicholas is a very smart young man who has planned out this day very carefully. He is dying to get into that lumber room. There is nothing worse than being told you cannot go into a room. He knows his aunt well, and he knows if he puts the frog in his bread and milk in the morning, she will arrange for the other kids to go someplace fun. Then he will have the house to himself.

He is a planner. He knows where the key is hidden, knows how he is going to it down from the shelf, and knows how to open the door since he practiced on the schoolroom door. When he opens that door, he has a wonderful experience because he is very imaginative. While looking at the tapestry, he creates a whole scenario of what is happening in the picture.
