The story FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON!?
This is a very good book, well worth reading. You could say one theme would be achievement and loss.
Reply:Flowers is about an experiment to boost the mental level in a single (Algernon) and a mentally handicapped janitor. It worked, but only temporaily. Read it. It's a wonderful book about the success and failure of science on the life of one man and a rat.
Reply:You can learn alot from this book. I would think that the theme would be something like:





Self-understanding or self-realization


How people treat mentally challenged peoples





And maybe even a theme on love.
Reply:My own ideas:


* Intelligence is not superior to compassion and kindness.


* Accept your own abilities and work with those you have. Don't try to be someone or something you're not. (Which isn't to say that we shouldn't try to improve ourselves!)


* Man shouldn't play God and mess with the integrity of a human life. (The old Frankenstein theme.)
