Interactions: Charlie begins to see that his co-workers at the bakery, whom he thought were his friends, have been making fun of him.

For the first time he feels ashamed of himself.

Changes: He feels sad and hurt because he realises that they were never really his friends.

Changes: His growing intelligence makes him feel a little arrogant at times.
