Charlie continues to learn more. He is starting to
understand what’s going on around him. Charlie is beginning to understand who
his true friends are. When Charlie goes to a party with some of his friends
from the bakery they get him drunk and give him fake food to eat. This is when
Charlie learns that a lot of the guys at the bakery were pretending to be his
friend but they were really just making Charlie look like a fool.
Charlie starts to remember his dreams. He dreams
that he asked Gimpy, a man who works in the bakery to write his progress report
because he forgot how to write. He tells Gimpy exactly what to write but
instead Gimpy writes a ton of curse words. This causes Ms. Kinnian, Dr. Strauss
and Professor Nemur to become outraged with Charlie. Charlie then realizes why
he had this dream it was a version of what happened to him in elementary school
when he asked someone to write something for him. Charlie begins to get upset easily
and he believes he can’t trust anyone. He moves on but is still uneasy about
trust. Charlie continues to excel and earns a raise at the bakery. Charlie
decided to ask Mrs. Kinnian to the movies to celebrate. Charlie starts to
realize he has feelings for Mrs. Kinnian, but she clearly states it is not okay
for them to have a relationship.
The book is very quickly progressing. Everything is
spelled correctly now. Thankfully, because the misspelled words were driving me
crazy. I really like how the book is written from Charlie's perspective. I
think it helps to show him progressing and learning as the book goes on.
I'm curious to see what will happen between Charlie and Mrs. Kinnian. I wonder
if Charlie will find his sister and parents. I hope he does.
