Anyone read flowers for algernon?
read it but can't help it has been too long...
Reply:I read it in Jr high and I COULD come up with catchy (but not cathy!) titles, but then I would be depriving you of the opportunity to read and understand the book yourself....
Good suggestion though - I'll pick it up at the library tonight and reread it.
Reply:I read it, but only in the textbook at school, so I don't have it with me..... sorry .... that was a really sad story by the way...

Flowers for Algernon question? 10 points!?
How has Charlie changed at the end of the novel? Is he different from the person he is at the beginning of the novel, and if so, how? Do you consider the novel's ending to be tragic or inspiring?
Flowers for Algernon question? 10 points!?
Well:
He was mentally retarded
He gets surgery
He becomes a genius
He loses his intelligence
He becomes retarded again
(when I say retarded, I'm not being mean, I mean he actually had a genetic defect)
Basically, he learns more about people in general. Of course he is different, see above. And I'd say tragic, as he loses his intelligence and basically becomes very lonely (and it is implied that he would die in a few days as an aftereffect of the surgery)
Glad to do your homework for you!
Reply:The difference between Charlie at the beginning of the book and at the end is that he understands the concept of shame.
To me, the key passage in the whole book is Charley's conversation with Fanny Birden when his co-workers sign a petition to get him fired from the factory. She likens Charley's gain in intelligence to Eve eating from the tree of knowledge. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden and lost their innocence.
In the beginning of the story, Charley didn't understand that his co-workers were playing jokes at his expense. Everything was fun for him. His tragedy is that he got the sense of shame without gaining anything else in return.
Reply:at the beginning charlie is ignorant. he thinks that his coworkers are his friends, but gradually, as he is becoming smarter, he becomes more aware of the world. he falls n love for the first time, and he realizes that there is more to the world than what he knows.
ok, i wouldn't exactly say that charlie is ignorant, because of the connotation, he's just clueless.
he is different because he is more experienced in the ways of the world.
i read the short story a while ago, in the eighth grade.
i think you should go to sparknotes or something, for greater detail.
Reply:THAT IS THE MOST tragic book I've ever read, maybe as tragic or even more than "My SIster's Kepper". Charlie has changed from the beginning of the book since he has been on "the other side". He has been a brilliant genious and is now left with nothing but daily reminders of his previous sucess. He is very different. Although he doesn't remember much of his tranformed "smart" version, he still has memories and a sense of deep loss and confusion when he is forced to become his natural way again.
DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!
Reply:Very tragic, although that's probably why I like the book so much. And I generally don't like fiction. But Charley's situation is so sad. He has to be aware of his limitations and live with the memories of his temporary genius abilities.
I agree with Peppermint's answer.

Explain the significance of the titile flowers for algernon. what does it mean? give examples?
In the end, Algernon dies. The flowers represent his death, and that he'll be remembered. It also signifies that Charlie can't stay genius forever, that has to die in a sense to. We must accept those who are mentally challenged and help them the best we can. Flowers for Algernon is like a symbol, if you will, that even though something may seem great, it doesn't always last, and it may not have been that great anyway. We must accept people for who they really are in their heart.
Explain the significance of the titile flowers for algernon. what does it mean? give examples?
It was for the flowers that Faye and Charlie put on Algernon's grave. Actually, the title is more about how Charlie refers to the flowers at the end of the story - in a way it shows how much he has lost and forgotten.
Reply:Didn't Algernon die at the end? I just figured the flowers represented his death.

And the teacher that falls in love with him and his newfound intelligence. Wow… that was written in the late 50s and became very popular in the late 60s, after it became a movie with Cliff Robertson toward the end of the decade or so; the movie, “Charly,” was a really, really very touching story that reminds us all of man heroism and determination and the indomitable spirit to overcome obstacles and learn.
Great book! I’m not surprised that it’s still in print. I rate it a 10. I recalled it many years later in college for my other major in therapy and mentioned it and almost the whole class read it before the semester came to an end! Great book.

Flowers for Algernon (real easy points!)?
just tell me somethings you like about charlie gordon. please provide reasoning.
Flowers for Algernon (real easy points!)?
He is humble. Even when he becomes 'smart' he doesn't get full of himself, and when he begins to loose his intellect, he does not weep about.
It has been many years since I read the book, but I still remember Charlie.
Reply:While Charlie may not be what the world labels as "smart", his heart and ability to laugh even in the most difficult situations make him a larger than life person. He may not have the brain power, but he does use the gifts that were given him.
Reply:He's an extremely nice guy. When he starts out, everyone makes fun of him but he's always cheerful and helpful. Later when things have changed he is still trying to help: he comes up with improvements at the factory. Even though he has realized they weren't nice to him, he is still trying to help out.
And at the end he still comes across as basically decent, not wanting to stick around as he knows it might be uncomfortable for everyone.
This makes the arc all the more tragic - he's a nice guy, and didn't particularly deserve to be so disadvantaged to start with, but after gaining all that insight, as he sinks back to his original state, it's now much worse because he realizes all that he has lost.

Do you think the movie "Awakenings" was taken from the movie Charley, and the book "Flowers for Algernon"?
I think so!
Do you think the movie "Awakenings" was taken from the movie Charley, and the book "Flowers for Algernon"?
They have absolutely nothing to do with each other! "Awakenings" is based on a true story. Those people were not "mentally challenged", as Charles Gordon is. Charlie underwent experimental surgery that increased his ability to learn until he achieved genius levels.
You can't have watched both of these films and come to this conclusion I'm certain. As I said, they share absolutely nothing in common. Gordon was born disabled; the others were average people who fell ill then into the state we seen them in; they remain that way till his treatment brings results that do fade, as with Gordon. But, he drops down to his original IQ. Those people are still reasonably intelligent people but are trapped once more in bodies that will not obey them.
Awakenings (1990)
IMDB synopsis:
A new doctor finds himself with a ward full of comatose patients. He is disturbed by them and the fact that they have been comatose for decades with no hope of any cure. When he finds a possible chemical cure he gets permission to try it on one of them. When the first patient awakes, he is now an adult having gone into a coma in his early teens. The film then delights in the new awareness of the patients and then on the reactions of their relatives to the changes in the newly awakened.
NOTE: Y!A isn't allowing me to post with the link to INDB.
The film is based on Oliver Sacks' non-fictional book.
Charly (1968)
NOTE: The title is intentionally misspelled, as this is how Charles (Charlie) Gordon spells it.
IMDB synopsis:
Charlie is a retarded adult male struggling to survive in the world. His frequent attempts at learning, reading, and writing prove worthless. His teacher, Miss Kinian, takes Charlie to the clinic where he is observed by doctors who have Charlie "race" a mouse, Algernon. The mouse is usually the winner thanks to an experiment that greatly raised his intelligence. This experiment is given to Charlie, who at first does not seem affected. However, he gradually becomes more and more educated, eventually becoming a pure genius. Very emotional consequences are involved when Charlie learns the truth of the experiment.
Flowers for Algernon (2000 TV movie)
IMDB synopsis:
Charles Gordon is retarded, and all he wants in life is to be a genius. When he gets picked for experimental surgery, it looks like his dream may finally come true. But the surgery has side effects that could could kill Charlie. Can he survive being just plain old Charlie Gordon, and will his newfound romance survive this test of character?
So, there are huge differences in the two stories. The short story (not novel) "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes was published in 1959. The first film was released in 1968. Sacks' non-fiction "Awakenings" was published in 1969~AFTER "Charly".
Reply:You got it!
Reply:Well, perhaps as proof that a story like that would work, especially as structured around the story of one man, but "Awakenings" is based on the book by Oliver Sacks and real medical cases he handled.

Regarding the novel ,Flowers for Algernon, do the scientists ever tell Charlie about the risks of the surgery?
they tell him that surgery is risky but not that there is the potential that he will revert back to his old mental capacity
Regarding the novel ,Flowers for Algernon, do the scientists ever tell Charlie about the risks of the surgery?
no! because he would not have understood, and they really didn't know what would happen. they didn't have a clue that he would revert back to what he was.
Reply:Yes they do

When he had his intelligence, why didn't he travel and see the world? I know they went to Chicago/New York, but didn't he want to experience other cultures?
I can't think of anything else. But that book was fantastic.
Have any of you read the book "flowers for algernon"?
I did. I would have to ask him, Why does his life have to be sooooo sad?:(
Reply:I did... but I read it many many many years ago....
Reply:Was it worth it?
Reply:I'm not sure what I would have asked...Did you see the movie Charly which was based on this book. Good story
Reply:"Did you ,Charlie, remember the flowers ?"
Reply:I read it back in Middle School
Reply:Yes and I did like it quite a bit. I guess I would ask him why he wanted to have the procedure done. Or what he felt when he realized algernon was dying.
Reply:i heard it was good
Reply:yeah i did, don't remember much though, sorry
Reply:Is that the book where the mentally challenged mind is transformed into an intellectual freak for a brief period of time?
I could not ask him anything... It broke my heart. All I could do would be to cry for him.
Reply:I read the condensed version for my language arts class and it made me cry...
and i would have asked him if it was worth it. but i wouldn't ask him while he was smart, i would ask when he went back to.... normal. For him, anyway.
Reply:yeah.. i would ask him why he wants to be like everyone else and not the way he is.
Reply:what it was like to all of a sudden lose so much precious memory.
also if he thougt he was brave for doing the experiment in the 1st place
Reply:Oh My God, this book had me in tears throughout the entire few days it took me to read.

What's the theme (the moral the book proves) of the book FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON?
That people with disabilities are no different than people without disabilities. That each of us is abled and disabled in some way. Charlie gains intelligence, but does that make him a better human being? Not necessarily. There are several morals in this book, but that is one of the most major.

mice dont make good pets
Reply:dont experiment on humans
Reply:It's been years since I've read the book but what I took out of it was that people shouldn't try to play god. They went in and messed with the guy's head (to make him smarter) in doing so they actually made him miserable and in the end he went back to the way he was to start with. Those scientist's should have just left him the way he was.

Flowers For Algernon book?
I have a question that is killing me and i need help with it...the question is,
- Debate the following statement. As Charlie matured intellectually, his emotional growth kept pace.
I need a few sentences answering this question. if you could give me a few sentences answering this question I would be so great.
thanks
Flowers For Algernon book?
I remember this book - it was really good. A debate would mean two opposing lines of argument so:
1. The fact that Charlie grew more distant from the people around him that he cared for, and understood that his former workmates had been using him as the butt of their jokes indicates his emotional growth from childlike innocence to an adult evaluation of the world around him.
2. (opposing statement) As Charlie's intellect grew, he became more self-centered like a child. That was seen in his willingness to abandon his "friends" and even the doctors he was working with as he outstripped them in basic intelligence.
Reply:Basically did Charlie act mature as he got smarter or was he able to read but still act like a little kid.
If you read the book, you know the answer.
Reply:But, that's not a question! I'll try helping u:
His emotional growth grew more for his teacher as she taught him Charlie even more.
I dnt understand the question vry much add additional details if u can
Merry xmas

This Is 4 People Who Have Read Flowers For Algernon......?
i need to make a front page of a news paper...
so i needed help for thinking up a title
and some ideas on 3 articles to right about
thanks if u can help.!
This Is 4 People Who Have Read Flowers For Algernon......?
If you're making a paper about the book, one interesting one could be "Tiny Algernon Makes A Big Ruckus At the Convention". Remember the part where Charlie lets Algernon out his cage on purpose because he was annoyed by the way Doctor Nemor (?) and Doctor Strauss (?) were talking about him at the convention.
Reply:what is the flowers for algernon part, and how does it relate...please add details
EDIT-I know flowers for algernon is a book....sheesh
Reply:I assume the front page is supposed to be about the story in the book? How about, 1/Experiment begins on mouse and man. 2/ Tests show progress of man. 3/ Experiment scratched. Theory fails. You then just tell what happened in the story about the man. Been awhile since I've read the book so I forget the mans name. Loved the story. It was so sad though. Good Luck

What is the book flowers for algernon about?
It's a soft sci-fi/drama about a mentally retarded man that agrees to allow scientists to give him an "operashun" to make him "triple my inteligense". The book it written like a journal, based on Charlie's (the main character's) fears about the operation. Along the way, we notice how his spelling gets better and Charlie's intelligent goes to genius levels. Charlie becomes a scientist and hypothesizes his own downfall. Eventually he goes back to the way he was before the operation, without any memory of his accomplishments.
The book, to me, follows the saying "Ignorance is bliss" because it seemed Charlie was better off and happier when he was "dumb" as he calls it. (However, Charlie was often taken advantage of by coworkers because of his disability).
The title refers to Charlie's last words in the novel, "and please remember to put flowrs on algernons grave for me" or something similar. During the book, he had befriended a lab rat that died towards the middle-end, and this is what he is referring to.
To me, the saddest part of the book was when Charlie describes how he felt when as he began to forget things one by one as he went back to his earlier IQ.
What is the book flowers for algernon about?
Flowers for Algernon is about a severly mentally retarded man named Charlie and a mouse named Algernon. Algernon was used in testing ways to conquer mental handicaps, and it works, he becomes really smart. So they decide to use Charlie in the actual surgery. It works, he becomes extraordinarily smart, but isn't happy about it at all. Soon, Algernon starts going back down to his regular level at a very fast rate, and Charlie realizes that soon the same will happen to him. Algernon eventually dies because of the surgery, and Charlie sends him flowers (hence the title).
Charlie eventually does go through the dumbing down that happened with Algernon, but goes to an even lower IQ level (something like 70) and has to be sent to the institution he was avoiding before this all began, but he remembered all the emotions he felt when he was smart.
The whole book basically argues for 'Ignorance is Bliss'
It's an amazing book, read it.
Reply:The book is about a mentally handicapped man who through new scientific research is able to become highly intelligent and uncovers memories of abuse throughout his life. Algernon is a mouse who had the same experiment done. Its like reading the main character's (I think his name is charlie, I read it a while back) diary he kept for a psychologist to read while he undergoes the experiment. Its a good book, if your have time you should read it.
Reply:Flowers for Algernon is a story about a mentally disabled man, named Charlie. Throughout his life people around him have always made fun of him and convinced him to do stuff just so they could get a laugh. His night school teacher recommends him to have this brain surgery for an experiment. At first he can not tell that it is working, but soon he becomes a genius. The experiment has also been performed on this mouse, named Algernon. Algernon has to find his way through these mazes and pass these tests to get food. After awhile, Algernon stops being able to find his way through the mazes, and soon he dies from not eating. Meanwhile, Charlie gets fired from his job because his co-workers now fear him because he is so smart. Also, he falls in love with his teacher. As Algernon starts to die, the experiment on Charlie begins to fail, and he slowly declines in his IQ. Before this happens however, he realizes that what happened to Algernon is going to happen to him, so he helps in studying why it happened. He figures it out and tells his Doctors. Soon, his life goes back to the way it was before he had the surgery.
Hope that was helpful!
Reply:omg, so sad. ok, so this guy, he's really not smart...like i think he has a mental disorder or something. he does this surgery for this scientific experiment where they work on his brain and he becomes REALLY SMART. but then his brain detoriates at the same rate and he gets really dumb again. it's really sad. read it.

The above are some of my favorites. I ordered 1984 from the library but am unsure if I will like it. It doesn't matter what genre, although I usually like the classics the best. Please help...I'm dieing to read something!!

If you liked those books, you'll probably also like 1984. And if you like 1984, you'll probably also like Animal Farm.
Some other classics you should consider, that aren't too hard of a read:
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Great Escape (if you like this one, try The Wooden Horse and Escape from Colditz as well)
Huck Finn (a given)
Mutiny on the Bounty (and the rest of the Bounty trilogy)
Moby Dick
The Jungle (by Upton Sinclair)
The Grapes of Wrath (and just about anything else by Steinbeck)
That should be a good start. For more ideas, I suggest you ask an English teacher or a librarian. Once you tell either one of them you're interested in reading some classics, they'll be all over you in a heartbeat!

THEMES
Major
The Theme of self-realization or an understanding of self.
This is the chief need for Charlie and it makes the book one with a universal significance. Although the situation in which Charlie finds himself is a bizarre one, with his rapid movement towards high intellect and an equally rapid regression, it gives him the mental capacity to analyze and voice his need for achievement, acceptance and love. He is also able to fulfill these needs and then accept his regression in a philosophical manner, though after much suffering.

Yeah. if neither two work, do a traditional poem thing,and start with describing Charlie Gordon. it might help if you mispelled the words as you tell how he is dumb, and spell progressively better and worse as you tell how he gets smart and then dumb again. Hope this helps.

Flowers for algernon?
how does daniel keys short story flowers for algernon demonstrate that charlie is right knowledge and learning can be tremendously exciting. i need to write and extended response will u give me some ideas and why is knowledge and learning FUN ???
Flowers for algernon?
When he "became smart," he wanted to know as much as he could, because he didn't know how long this intelligence would last. Curiosity is the key--he was curious about everything. I think that is the key to learning, you need to wonder about things! I probably use the Google toolbar about 100 times a day.

A Venn diagram of flowers for Algernon the book and the movie .?
Book: Both Dr. Strauss and Nemur were boys; Charlie met two different people for the inkblots; During surgery, he had his rabbits foot as well as his lucky penny and horse shoe; He works in a factory; Ms. Kinnian couldn't teach him; Charlie listens to the tv when he's asleep; He never told Ms. Kinnian he loved her.
Movie: Dr. Strauss was a girl (or it was the other way around); Charlie only did the inkblots once; He only had his rabbits foot during surgery; He worked in a bakery; Ms. Kinnian taught him stuff arter the surgery even when he got smarter than her; Charlie watched the tv while he was awake; He told Ms. Kinnian he loved her and they dated even after he tried to rape her, jk.

Algernon
Algernon is a mouse that earlier underwent the same operation as Charlie. Algernon becomes an expert at running highly complex mazes. Charlie competes with Algernon in maze races. As the experiment progresses, Algernon’s demeanor becomes unpredictable and aggressive. This signals a problem with the experiment. Eventually, Algernon’s abilities radically regress, and he dies. Charlie comes to love the mouse and buries Algernon in his backyard, often placing flowers on the mouse’s grave.

In Flowers for Algernon what happened when Burt administered the Rorschach test to Charlie?!!?
This has been on my mind forever!!! plz help me i have no clue! i blanked out :p.
In Flowers for Algernon what happened when Burt administered the Rorschach test to Charlie?!!?
Which time? There were two occasions in the story where Charlie was tested. Charlie didn't understand the Rorschach test the first time and got mad because he thought there was something more to it. He was defensive because he usually failed tests in school.
The second time he worried about it but then was shocked and thought that Burt was saying something different than the first testing. He was surprised that he was so deficient the first time.

Flowers for Algernon?
I writing a five paragraph essay on Flowers for Algernon and my thesis statement is Charlie would have been better off without the surgey because he would have had Alice, he would have been happy, and his emotions wouldn't have been messed up. Only problem I don't know how to start off my paper.
Flowers for Algernon?
you start with a thesis statement state your topic and the main points you are going to address the body will include your opinion on the points previously mentioned
Reply:This story of Algernon has started many philosophical debates over the years and that may be how you want to start your paper. This biggest issue here is the value of self-awareness. Would you rather be ignorant and happy or educated and unhappy? It's harder to be unhappy when one has no self-awareness. I've often joked that I wish I was dumb enough not to care about painful things. There is an element of truth in that jest which is that if you aren't smart enough to be aware that you're so dumb then it doesn't cause you as much pain as if you were smart and then had it taken away from you. When choices and decisions are taken away from someone who doesn't know any better then the ability to make those choices isn’t missed
The problem with that is how many of us would choose to live in ignorance? In novels portraying what are supposed to be Utopias, it is ultimately the human need for self-awareness that makes such a society a dystopia. The first time I read Brave New World I thought "how wonderful to live in a place where you never have a worry. Where all of your needs and desires and cared for by the state.” Most of the residents of the Brave New World are very content because they have been both genetically engineered as well as being drugged into that condition. The book is important because of the few characters who can't be content in that environment despite the genetic engineering and the Soma (the drug distributed by the gov't to keep people "happy"). These people NEED something more. They NEED knowledge of things and emotions that are outside the constraints of that society. Which character would Alegernon have been? For the sake of your argument, one could simply quote the old saying that "ignorance is bliss".
Reply:i think that the surgey should have happened becasue he got a learning experience .....he relized tha his so called friends werent relly his friends ...when he had that surgery he became overly smart ! which was bad because the one big reson he did the surgey is becasue he wanted to feel like all the other people he wanted to b equal to them u k ....however it made him too smart which made him different from the rest ,............................/............. u from sms ? i read this too a couple days ago if so ...(its vanessa b ) .........im me bac or somehtin if u have more questions ..i k this story quite well
Reply:Prolly because IMHO, Charlie was better with the surgery. He may have 'lost' Alice in the end, but he had during a span of his life lived 'normally' by society's standards, and had someone love him. And after he reverted back to his low IQ stage, his emotions were back to the way they were too - unconditionally loving, and seeing good in everyone.

P.S--I would not recommend Luci D's method of writing poetry. In fact, I have NEVER heard of such a means! Cutting up a book?? She must be joking with ya'.
Reply:What goes up must come down?
Every high has a low?
Reply:I'd start off with something like
you meant no harm
to the mouse
nor did you mean harm
to the man
you gave a gift
but a curse as well
you had no way to know
what the future did tell...
if you need more help my yahoo is crazytumbler91
Reply:My suggestion is to use the "Procedures" way of making poetry. It involves using a text and choosing words by pattern, such as every fifth page, on the 12th line, the 6th word.
Another way is to take the text, cut out the words individually, place them in a cup or bowl, and fling them out onto a table or the floor. Then find lines for the poem in the words lying there.
You could use the text of the plot description from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_for... --- just print it out and cut it up, or
if you have an extra copy of the book, you could cut that up but it would take a lot longer.
hope this helps.

Help! Can someone help me with my english project about "Flowers for Algernon"?
Why is the following an example of situational irony: Charlie believes he will be happier when he is smarter?
Help! Can someone help me with my english project about "Flowers for Algernon"?
I think because when he actually does get smarter, he ends up becoming sadder than he was to begin with. The simple things that made him happy before he tried the medicine ended up being too simple for his pleasure afterward. Then after the therapy wears off, he ends up being less smart that he was to begin with. So the whole experience that was supposed to make him happier ended up making him sadder overall.
I kinda BS'd that one, but that makes sense to me.
Reply:In the story flowers for algernon Charlie believes that being smarter will make him better and happier when in reality becoming smarter only made him less happy and just complicated his life. Especially after realizing that after becoming smarter that he will eventually regress.
Irony of Situation, relies on the fact that the characters in the story are unaware of the irony, but the reader is able to perceive it.
Reply:Because when he's "smarter", he sees everything bad going on in the world around him, and finds out that it's not a very happy situation to be in, being in demand from everyone. It's basically one of those "ignorance is bliss" situations.
I liked this book.
Reply:I put that he thinks that when he becomes smarter, everything will be much better, but actually it is worse for him. He finds out his "friends" used him for their own entertainment. He got fired from his job because of it.
I got a 100% on it, I dunno if your teacher will give you one for you to though.
That was such a great and sad story.
Reply:When he becomes smart he is miserable. He never did know happiness.
Reply:Hmmm...not having other people do your homework for you.
Reply:ahw, i did that report last year, sucks huh?
sometimes being naive of things is better. charlie thinks he will be happier when he is smarter, but things get much more complicated. example: when you are little, it is so much better to just believe in the tooth fairy then have your parents explain everything
hope it helps :]

is flowers for algernon a story, novel, what is it? can anyone help me out?
Flowers for algernon?
Both. There are two versions of it: short-story/novella length, and full novel.
The quick and easy way to tell the difference between the two: In the short story, Charlie's age is 37; in the novel, it's 32. In both versions, he says what his age is right at the beginning, so it doesn't take long at all to tell them apart.
Reply:I'd call it a novella too. Whatever you call it, it's one of my favorites. Writing it in the form of a journal was a stroke of sheer brilliance. It gave it a feeling of intimacy that made it more moving than any screen adaptation could ever be.
Reply:I agree...it's more of a "novella". I don't like them, since they get you too wrapped up (if they're good), but don't carry through, like a novel would. They're like brunch, instead of lunch or dinner!
Reply:Front cover says 'novel,' but I like to think of it more as a nouvella.
Reply:I believe novella is the right classification, but I could be wrong.

In Daniel Keyes' Flowers for Algernon, what is some proof that Charlie sacrificed happiness for intelligence?
He was happy to be ridiculed by his friends in the, I believe it was a bakery?, just because he was part of the conversation, but when he became intelligent, he realized he was the butt of all their jokes and became unhappy.

In Flowers for Algernon, why doesn't Charlie just go through the operation again at the end?
Charlie just regresses back to his original state, so there's no damage done to him. Another operation would have been okay, right?
Even though the operation was a "failure," Charlie had been intelligent for a good amount of time, and if he constantly went through the operation, he would be able to stay smart for the rest of his life (like medication).
In Flowers for Algernon, why doesn't Charlie just go through the operation again at the end?
Did you already ask this question? I answered an almost identical question about ten minutes ago. Anyway....the operation was a failure. Even if they performed it over again, Charlie would just regress again. Furthermore, he was happier when he was impaired. He was innocent to the fact that people were mocking him and being mean to him. He thought everyone was his friend. He was innocent. Also, Algernon died. It was possible that Charlie would die, too.
Reply:If I remember correctly, he didn't like being smart.
Reply:umm why would he go through all of that again? if you were him wouldnt you just rather be dumb and just have a fresh start?

It is really good. I enjoyed it alot, you should get your hands on a copy.
Reply:It's not a bad book. I read it in middle school. The concept and theme are good and that is why they still have you read it, but I prefer more modern novles. If you want sad books, there are plenty out there. I also read "The lottery rose" in middle school. It is even more sad.

Reply:It's not a bad book. I read it in middle school. The concept and theme are good and that is why they still have you read it, but I prefer more modern novles. If you want sad books, there are plenty out there. I also read "The lottery rose" in middle school. It is even more sad.

Artificially increased IQ decreases at (I forget the exact mathematical term) so-many times the increase.
Basically speaking, the individual whose IQ is increased by Strauss and Kinnian's methods has their enhanced IQ for a little while, but then it rapidly decreases.

How did having little or no intelligence affect Carley's feelings, emotions, and perception?
How did the doctorsknow that the operation was not ging to be permanently successful?
Flowers For Algernon questions?
1) All along, even before the operation, Charlie had feelings, emotions, and an understanding of how the world around him affected him. At one point in the book after his operation, he speculates about whether his new-found super-intelligence has made him an emotional cripple, and whether he was actually a more well-adjusted person BEFORE the operation.
2) The doctors didn't know that the increased intelligence wouldn't be permanent. In fact, nobody knew until Charlie discovered what the problem was and named it the Algernon-Gordon Effect.
