Question 8:
Charlie accepted the operation and getting smarter. When he was really smart, he realized that things around him or people around him are not always good. And people around Charlie started to scare or hate him because of his change. Example like his friends, at first, Charlie thought that Joe and Frank laughed at him and played with him because they're his best friends. But later, Charlie knew that they just used him as a entertainer for them to laugh at and they realized that Charlie knew it and change their attitude with immediately. Those things decreased Charlie's communication to other people heavily. In Adam and Eve, Eve listened to the serpent and ate from the tree of knowledge. Then they knew that they're naked and took leaves to cover it. When the God found out that they ate from the tree, God punished them to the life of normal people like us. The similar is both character get to know so much stuff, feel ashame and get punish or hate. When Charlie drank with Joe and Frank, Charlie understand how mean his friends are and felt like naked when everyone laughing at him because he danced so bad so he ran away from the bar.This part is very similar to what happen when Eve ate from Tree of Knowledge. They're all ashame of them self and want to hide. The unfair things in here was the consequences. Why Charlie had a really bad consequence when he did noting wrong? Adam and Eve got punished because they listened to wrong direction and went against the God. But there is nothing wrong to be smart. They should accept Charlie as him now and start to get use to him.
