Compassion is the concern for the problems of others. In a sense, you could say that compassion lies at the heart of empathy.

The sentence "That made me sad because if he couldn't learn he would be hungry." is telling us that Charlie is showing concern about the Algeron's problems and well being. He is genuinely preoccupied about Algaeron being hungry; he is clearly showing a great deal of compassion. Not only that, but he even question Dr. Nemuk's compassion "I don't think its right to make you pass a test to eat." he says; showing us that he is troubled with the lack of compassion of the Dr.

We can conclude that Charlie’s sense of compassion grows as he becomes smarter.
