"And she said maybe they got no rite to make me smart because if god wanted me to be smart he would have made me born that way." p. 16 If I could rewrite this part of the story I would add why he stands so strongly about his decision.

"'You're fooling yourself, Rose It's not fair to us or to him Pretending he's normal Driving him as if he were an animal that could learn to do tricks.'" p. 73 At first I thought his parents loved their son, just as you would assume any other parent would love their child, but now I think that Charlie’s mom is the one trying to step away from Charlie and erase him from her life.
