People are disturbed by his intelligence because how quickly he became so smart. His own co worker told him that whatever he was doing was not natural.

Through the operation it is very clear that Charlie has been able to learn lots of information. Some of it is academic, like his vocabulary and math skills. He has also learned quite a lot about how to perceive the world around him and is no longer in the mindset of a child.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is really difficult for Charlie to live his life. At first he wasn't smart at all, had no imagination or really anything. Also his friends picked on him a lot. But after he got the surgery, he became smarter, and now he's thinking that his friends won't pick on him now. And I think that is just a hard life to live in.

I believe that in the last part of the story, all of charlie's intelligence will disappear. Throughout the story, I think he will just continue gaining intelligence, until it is to much for him bear and wants to get rid of it. He has seen the problems of this world and wants to go back to his blissful state of ignorance, so he decides to somehow get rid of his intelligence and go back to how he was.

# data[].attributes.body
It does not sound like those grown men are actually friends to Charlie. They only bring him around to laugh at him and insult Charlie. They even ditched him one night. To think that adults can treat another adult with disrespect, just because they don't get thing as easily is plain rude.

Miss Kinnian has changed around Charlie because before the operation, Miss Kinnian was Charlie's teacher and she knew more. After Charlie's operation, he has been able to learn more and he was able to read faster than Miss Kinnian. Now Charlie might be able to be Miss Kinnian's teacher.

I believe that life for Charlie, despite what people might think, has been quite normal. Despite not understanding what others were talking about, he always managed to laugh it off, which we see with him and his co workers. He must have struggled in school, but depending of the information we have of his teacher, Miss kinnian teaching him, he seems to have taken the information quite well. I think that his positivity and perserverance made him able to get through life just as any other person.
