Overview

With more than five million copies sold, Flowers for Algernon is the beloved, classic story of a mentally disabled man whose experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that of Algernon, an extraordinary lab mouse. In poignant diary entries, Charlie tells how a brain operation increases his IQ and changes his life. As the experimental procedure takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment seems to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance—until Algernon begins his sudden, unexpected deterioration. Will the same happen to Charlie?
An American classic that inspired the award-winning movie Charly.

Mentally retarded Charlie Gordon participates in an experiment which turns him into a genius but only temporarily.

progris riport 2-martch 4

I had a test today. I think I faled it and I think mabye now they wont use me. What happind is I went to Prof Nemurs office on my lunch time like they said and his secertery took me to a place that said psych dept on the door with a long hall and alot of littel rooms with onley a desk and chares. And a nice man was in one of the rooms and he had some wite cards with ink spilld all over them. He sed sit down Charlie and make yourself cunfortible and rilax. He had a wite coat like a docter but I dont think he was no docter because he dint tell me to opin my mouth and say ah. All he had was those wite cards. His name is Burt. I fergot his last name because I dont remembir so good.

I dint know what he was gonna do and I was holding on tite to the chair like sometimes when I go to a dentist onley Burt aint no dentist neither but he kept telling me to rilax and that gets me skared because it always means its gonna hert.

So Burt sed Charlie what do you see on this card. I saw the spilld ink and I was very skared even tho I got my rabits foot in my pockit because when I was a kid I always faled tests in school and I spilld ink to.

I tolld Burt I saw ink spilld on a wite card. Burt said yes and he smild and that maid me feel good. He kept terning all the cards and I tolld him somebody spilld ink on all of them red and black. I thot that was a easy test but when I got up to go Burt stoppd me and said now sit down Charlie we are not thru yet. Theres more we got to do with these cards. I dint understand about it but I remembir Dr Strauss said do anything the testor telld me even if it dont make no sense because thats testing.

I dont remembir so good what Burt said but I remembir he wantid me to say what was in the ink. I dint see nothing in the ink but Burt sed there was picturs there. I coudnt see no picturs. I reely tryed to see. I holded the card up close and then far away. Then I said if I had my eye glassis I coud probaly see better I usully only ware my eyeglassis in the movies or to watch TV but I sed maybe they will help me see the picturs in the ink. I put them on and I said now let me see the card agan I bet I find it now.

I tryed hard but I still coudnt find the picturs I only saw the ink. I tolld Burt mabey I need new glassis. He rote somthing down on a paper and I got skared of faling the test. So I tolld him it was a very nice pictur of ink with pritty points all around the eges but he shaked his head so that wasnt it neither. I asked him if other pepul saw things in the ink and he sed yes they imagen picturs in the inkblot. He tolld me the ink on the card was calld inkblot.

Burt is very nice and he talks slow like Miss Kinnian dose in her class where I go to lern reeding for slow adults. He explaned me it was a raw shok test. He sed pepul see things in the ink. I said show me where. He dint show me he just kept saying think imagen theres something on the card. I tolld him I imaggen a inkblot. He shaked his head so that wasnt rite eather. He said what does it remind you of pretend its something. I closd my eyes for a long time to pretend and then I said I pretend a bottel of ink spilld all over a wite card. And thats when the point on his pencel broke and then we got up and went out.

I dont think I passd the raw shok test.

3d progris riport

martch 5-Dr Strauss and prof Nemur say it dont matter about the ink on the cards. I tolld them I dint spill the ink on them and I coudnt see anything in the ink. They said maybe they will still use me. I tolld Dr Strauss that Miss Kinnian never gave me tests like that only riting and reeding. He said Miss Kinnian tolld him I was her bestist pupil in the Beekman School for retarted adults and I tryed the hardist becaus I reely wantd to lern I wantid it more even then pepul who are smarter even then me.

Dr Strauss askd me how come you went to the Beekman School all by yourself Charlie. How did you find out about it. I said I dont remembir.

Prof Nemur said but why did you want to lern to reed and spell in the frist place. I tolld him because all my life I wantid to be smart and not dumb and my mom always tolld me to try and lern just like Miss Kinnian tells me but its very hard to be smart and even when I lern something in Miss Kinnians class at the school I ferget alot.

Dr Strauss rote some things on a peice of paper and prof Nemur talkd to me very sereus. He said you know Charlie we are not shure how this experamint will werk on pepul because we onley tried it up to now on animils. I said thats what Miss Kinnian tolld me but I dont even care if it herts or anything because Im strong and I will werk hard.

I want to get smart if they will let me. They said they got to get permissen from my familie but my uncle Herman who use to take care of me is ded and I dont rimember about my familie. I dint see my mother or father or my littel sister Norma for a long long long time. Mabye their ded to. Dr. Strauss askd me where they use to live. I think in brooklin. He sed they will see if mabye they can find them.

I hope I dont have to rite to much of these progris riports because it takes along time and I get to sleep very late and Im tired at werk in the morning. Gimpy hollered at me because I droppd a tray full of rolles I was carrying over to the oven. They got derty and he had to wipe them off before he put them in to bake. Gimpy hollers at me all the time when I do something rong, but he reely likes me because hes my frend. Boy if I get smart wont he be serprised.

WOW!!!!

It is about a 37 year old man that is mentally retarded. I talks about some things he has to go through until he becomes smart like other people. I think the author's purpose is to show how important it is to just like who you are, and that it's not good, funny, or cool to pick on kids that are mentally retarded. I feel that this story is very good because it show that everyone is the same honestly and that it's not funny to pick on people for who they are because it's not their fault.
Some of the main points I found that stood out to me was how he felt his emotions, and how they varied as the story goes on. When I paid attention to the how he felt about most things I compared to how I would feel if this was happening to me. It made me realize how important it is to appreciate your talents. A quote that I think is very important is how he took up for the dishwasher when everyone was laughing at him "Shut up! Leave him alone. It's not his fault he can't understand! He can't help what he is. But he is still a human being!"
Personally I think the book approved all the goals and achievements, due to the fact that it shows just how difficult it really is to be in someone else's shoes when it comes to being picked on about their disabilities. It show just how hard it is to live with being mentally retarded, and having everyone picking in you and you having no idea of what is going on. It also shows the emotions that Charlie goes through.

Flowers For Algernon Book Review

Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes is a powerful, original story and remains as relevant today as when it was written. I first read this book in the 70's and loved it, and I again "found" the book when my teen daughter read it and found it equally touching. The story starts with a mentally challenged man named Charlie Gordon, who is made fun of and bullied. The author does a great job creating sympathy in the reader's mind for this kind spirited man, who considers the bullies his friends. All Charlie wants is to be "normal". When Charlie is given an opportunity to become smarter, he takes it because he believes he could be happier. Soon he does become smarter, but instead of becoming happier he realizes that his friends were not laughing with him, but laughing at him. With intelligence, Charlie is able to see a cruelty in people that he was previously unaware existed. A most poignant moment in the book is when Charlie realizes the experiment may not be successful. Charlie has to grapple with the quality of his existence, and whether his temporary abilities will be worth the pain of loss if his intelligence turns out to be temporary. I would most definitely recommend this book because Daniel Keyes will create such strong feelings within you, the story will stay with you for years to come.

Review-Flowers for Algernon

Daniel Keyes "Flowers for Algernon" is a beautiful written book. This book talks about an experimental surgery that can increase intelligence, that has been proved to make one mouse called Algernon. Into a maze-running, mouse-genius. But the surgery has never been tried on a human. Charlie Gordon, a mentally disabled adult with a very low IQ has been specially chosen for this experiment. Who tells the story from his point of view through daily progress reports. Early reports show Charlie excitement to learn and brightly display his interactions with Algernon as they form a bond for each other.
As the treatment goes on, Charlie increases his intelligence and realizes he is attracted with Alice. They form a deep relationship with one another. While Algernon's behavior changes drastically; he forgotten a lot of things he had learned, he was solving problems in a primitive level. He reacts differently and refuses to do the experiment, so he curls up in a white puff. Unfortunately, Algernon deteriorates and dies. The same thing happens to Charlie and begins to forget almost every thing he once learned. His last request is to put flowers in Algernon's grave.
Flowers for Algernon is no ordinary book. What I liked about this book is that it is wonderfully written and makes you think about treating people. Even if you're smart it doesn't mean you should treat people in a rude matter. Other books I would like to read from Daniel Keyes is the book called "Algernon, Charlie, and I: A Writer's Journey." I recommend this book for sci-fi readers, for ages 12 and up because there is some adult content. It is a must read!

inspirational, captivating, pivotal. This book has it all.

Some people think the way God made us was how we were supposed to be. We were made to be who we were and there was nothing to change that, but according to two scientists in search of wealth and praise, Strauss and Nemur make an attempt at transforming the human mind into an infinite abyss of knowledge capable of no learning boundaries. Hastily developed, their brain operation could do things to the human mind that many people never thought possible, even if for only a short while.

The operation had proved to make one special mouse, Algernon, into a maze-running, mouse-genius, but had never been tried on a human. Here enters Charlie Gordon, a mentally handicapped adult who tells the story from his perspective through daily ¿progris riports,¿ as he so titles them. Early reports show Charlie¿s eagerness to learn and vividly display his interactions with Algernon as they form a bond for each other.

Eventually, Charlie¿s expanding knowledge surpasses his ability to cope with the emotional side of himself. He doesn¿t understand why the college students he argues with for hours and Miss Kinnian, his teacher and first love, soon turn away from him. Charlie is faced with the harsh realization that even though he desired to be smart, maybe it wasn¿t how he was made to be.

Soon Algernon begins to regress into his original mental state. Would Charlie¿s path follow that of Algernon or would the operation prove to be a final solution to the ¿problem¿ Strauss and Nemur attempt to ¿fix.¿ If he does end up regressing to his previous being will everything return to normal? Is it possible that after the operation he is left even more handicapped? The ending will surprise you and depending on your ability to keep it together, may leave you in tears, or at least with watery eyes.

Despite the ending, I was impressed with the style Keyes uses to portray Charlie¿s progress. Throughout Flowers for Algernon, the great improvement in grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure show just how quickly Charlie progresses. In the brief four-month period of intellectual growth, Charlie learns concepts that take normal humans all of twelve years of schooling to master and Keyes¿ daily progress reports clearly show this improvement even from one day to the next. After the operation, Charlie often has flash backs to his childhood where he finally understands the events that have happened to them and has his eyes opened to the mistreatment he received. Before he thought his coworkers from the bakery were friends and paid him attention because they liked him and thought he was funny but after the flashbacks, he realizes that they weren¿t laughing with him, yet laughing at his incompetence to do any normal task. My eyes were opened to some of this mistreatment displayed towards the mentally handicapped through Flowers for Algernon and if you are up for a thrilling page-turner that will open your eyes, broaden your horizons, and make you realize things you never knew as you accompany Charlie on his intellectual journey, then I strongly recommend Keyes¿ novel.

Must Read

This heartwarming tale by Daniel Keyes is one of my favorites. The excitement flows from page to page and it is all summed up in a surprise ending that will bring you to tears. This novel has romance, humor, sorrow, and hate all in one story. Kind of what I would call a love story with a twist. This book allows the reader to make connections with the characters which draws the reader into the action of the book.
This story is about a man named Charlie with a low IQ of 68. He is made fun of and doesn¿t even realize it. Then he is given the chance to make a big change in his life and become what he has always wanted to be, smart. At this point he meets a mouse named Algernon and they become best friends. Now that he has changed, everything else changes too. He starts to fall in love with his tutor, Miss. Kinnian, and have feelings and opinions on things. He becomes ¿the new Charlie¿ and no one likes it. What he thought he wanted and thought would make him happy, normal, and loved did the opposite. His life began taking a nose dive from there. You start feeling sorry for Charlie and become sad for him. The end brought me to tears. At first I couldn¿t believe what had just happened, I was in shock. Then my brain caught up and I was in tears. Charlie was making decisions on spur of the moment feelings and I wanted to stop him but couldn¿t.
Altogether ¿Flowers for Algernon¿ was a great book. I loved the romance, action, humor, and sorrow that made the book what it is. Daniel Keyes had a way of making the situation come alive; it hit you in the face and suddenly became real for you. You were able to relate to the characters and get to know them as well as you know your best friend, which helped you better understand the novel. It is a must read in my opinion
This novel is a love story with a twist. The situations are real and the characters are well described. It is a very good book for people ageing middle school through adult to read. I don¿t think that elementary kids could fully grasp the concept well enough to get the full effect. So next time you are at a book store don¿t miss out on your opportunity to read this novel. It will change your outlook on life and people with disabilities, and it will also warm your heart. I hope you get the chance to read this wonderful piece of art.
I strongly recommend this book for middle school kids through adults. It is a very heartwarming story of romance and sorrow. I would give this book four out of five stars because it can be confusing at times when Charlie is writing. Other than that it is a very good book. I hope you get the chance to read it.

Very dumb-it is really crazy

Well Flower's for Algernon is a really stupid story. I don't like it because it doesn't really teach you anything. It doesn't even make sense. The man in the story doesn't even know how to read or spell and people make fun of him.
Well the man's name is Charlie. He is really stupid and people love to make fun of him. Then he meets this mouse named Algernon and they race to see if Charlie can beat him. Algernon had surgery and he became really smart. The afterwards Charlie had surgery and he became really smart. Then later on down the road Algernon became stupid again and Charlie also became stupid again. The later on after that the mouse dies. Then Charlie always goes and puts flowers on Algernon's grave.

A Truly Inspiring Story

Flowers for Algernon is a touching wonderful book. I read it for my English class and loved it. The story is very touching. The character of Charlie Gordon really reaches out to the reader. The way the book is written is beautiful. It is written like a journal, which makes you feel more connected to Charlie. I would reccomend this book to people who enjoy psycholgy and science fiction. This book does have some depicitions of sex and some mature themes that younger children would not understand well, such as sex, alcohol, psychology,and mental retardation, so I would reccomend this book to some one 14 and up. Overall, it was great, and I will be reading it again.

A truly touching book

This book was truly touching, the characters make this book. I fell in love with all of them. Some make you think about crulty, or innocents or freedom of personality. It makes you believe that intelligents is not by any stretch of the imagination the most importent thing.

Flowers For Algernon

A book that makes you think about the way we treat people and how deeply it affects them. To be born less than perfect doesnt mean less valuable. We need to treat every one with respect and kindness knowing we all matter. We all learn from each other no matter who we are. I was left gratefull that I take the time to try and let people know that they matter. We are all the same...... human. I also think to loose what we have be it mental or physical from age or disease or for any reason is very hard. People need to have compassion. How would we feel if someone we loved was the one who was less than so callled perfect?

I thought this book was going to be the typical 'oh, this is an OKAY book but not really one that i would read on my own', but no! This book really was touching and it reached out to me and my heart. I luv this book! and i am only 13, so this bool is amazing. But probably not for younger ones (10 and younger prob) because it does have some inappropriate parts in it, but the rest makes up for it. I luv this book!!!!

I have this book on tape and listen to it every couple of years. It really hits all the emotional feelings. Makes you think about how fortunate you are if you are average or above average. I am glad it tries to get people to think about others who struggle to be better or don't understand things the way others do. Not everyone is a genius.
