Flowers for Algernon help...? Will give best answer?
Charlie's Dawn


Every beautiful morning is followed by a sunset.
Reply:I love that book, it is my all time favorite!


I would title it The Two Charlies because he really becomes like two totally different, seperate people.
Reply:ummmm.."the two worlds of charlie gordon".
Reply:these are my suggestions:





1) Pathetic Life





Well, i think Gordon's life is pathetic: being ignorant and laugh at then later being super intelligent and alone or isolated. I actually pity him because he thought that by undergoing to such experiment would give him happiness but lo! he was as miserable as ever.





2) Free and Not Free





when he was ignorant he's not free because his limited knowledge hinders him to be. but he's also free because he don't have to be nauseated thinking of complex ideas. on the other hand, when he was intelligent, he is free because now he knows and could act accordingly but he's also not free because his heart is imprisoned by sadness and is isolated. I know it's ironic but that's just how i see it.





3) Measured





he seems to live in a society were individual worth is measured. measured in terms of intelligence, skills, and physical attributes. this story tells us that the real measure of individual worth is his morals.





hoped i'm of help

Ehh, hope that might've sparked your mind. I did something close to this last year. Goodluck.
Reply:"Flowers for Algernon" already has another title. In the 60's a very good award winning film was made that was based on this novel. It was called "Charly". Film posters had the 'y' in Charly printed backwards in order to highlight the developmental disability of the main character. Cliff Robertson won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his title role in this film.


The beauty of the book, and of the film, is that it shows us the value of each human being, regardless of that person's level of development. We all have value, even the least of us.
Reply:Ignorance is Bliss





Like an emotional tsunami, the ebb and flow of intellect carries consequences we can't imagine, but someone can....
