Because Charlie was a mentally challenged adult, many people thought poorly of him. In the book, Charlie was said to be a klutz. When someone did a klutzy thing, another person would say that they "pulled a Charlie Gordon" because they acted like Charlie. Sad, but true.
Hope this helped

What is an example of verbal irony in flowers for algernon?
As Algernon and Charlie undergo the same operation and the same testing, Algernon's developments are good predictors of Charlie's near future. When Algernon begins to lose his intelligence, it is a chilling indication that Charlie's own mental gains will be short-lived. Algernon also symbolizes Charlie's status as a subject of the scientists: locked in a cage and forced to run through mazes at the scientists' whim, Algernon is allowed no dignity and no individuality. Charlie's freeing of Algernon from his cage and simultaneous decision to abandon the laboratory makes Algernon's physical liberation a symbol of, and a precursor to, his own emotional independence.

What does Charlie response to the Rorschach test suggest about him?
Going out on a limb here and assuming you mean Charley Gordon in "Flowers for Algernon".It suggests that he's pretty dumb. But that's hardly a surprise. Later in the story, when he re-encounters the test and realizes what they actually wanted from him the first time, he's at first angry thinking they deliberately mislead him and then remorseful to realize that it's plausible that he was "that feeble-minded" (his own words) that he completely misunderstood what the researcher wanted him to do.

"When algernon bites charlie because this shows that algernon is changing and soon charlie will be to!!" is a climax but another one is when he is at the diner and the mentally challenged boy who works there drops the dishes and everyone laughs at him. At first Charlie does also, but then notices he is slow, and relizes how much people make fun of people just like Charlie, and Charlie decides he wants to do something to improve the human mind and help people like who he once was.
