Jayden actively participated in class discussion focused on how Charlie's phenomenal mental development only increases his alienation from others. We discussed how his co-workers and landlady no longer feel comfortable around him in context of the themes of conformity and acceptance. Likewise, we explored why Charlie's relationship with Ms Kinnian inevitably fails as Charlie is no longer able to connect with people. Jaydn enjoyed discussing how scientific experiments often lead to unintended negative consequences. Last, we noted how to address run-on sentences in her study guide homework.
