Main Conflict. 
1)Charlie started regressing like Algernon
2)People around Charlie don't understand how he has changed so Quickly
3)The Experiment of Dr.NEmur and Dr. Strauss failed, he felt that he was smart but he wasn't happy Because people were Scared of him. (In his point of view)
4) He was dumb, In the first place. When he took the surgery he became smarter and smarter but people didn't know that he took the surgery. In the last progress report he doesn't spell the words Correctly
5) Charlie became smart but the surgery was limited and he became the same person Twice which is dumb.]]> 2017-04-06 14:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165155872 implication aotoole1 https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165156346 2017-04-06 14:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165156346 Big idea https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165156355 Ignorance is bliss ]]> 2017-04-06 14:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165156355 aotoole1 https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165157182 emerging]]> 2017-04-06 14:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165157182 Big Idea https://padlet.com/aotoole1/hj0kt98s0xzl/wish/165157644 Q: What is the significance of the title?
