to take that chance, and you know what? Charlie was eternally grateful after he got the AI surgery. He contributed immensely to science, was able to have feelings such as love, and had the chance to be smart. First of all, when Charlie had the AI surgery, he contributed to science. When Charlie gets smarter, he does an experiment and finds out about the Algernon-Gordon Effect. Even if he doesn’t remember exactly what he did after he regressed, he is still happy he did it. An example of this from the
But you can tell he’s trying really hard to pass the test to get the research done on him. You can really tell he wants became for intelligent, it's admirable of him. This is my journal entry for pages five through eleven. In process report four, Charlie is doing poorly on tests. He just doesn't comprehend what he's being told to do and is putting too much thought into telling the story, honestly i'm starting to wonder if he’ll even get picked. My thoughts on Process report five I'm feeling excited
He desperately wants to become smart so he can communicate and live just like everyone else does. Charlie wants this operation so he can be smart and prove to everyone he isn't like he used to be.

(p 5) Charlie writes this down into his progress report and proves that he wants to please everyone by being smart. The scientists first try this experiment
that he is very gullible since the beginning; he says “I spilled ink too”, shows us that he has no ability to think ideally. Also, “I’m a slow reeder too in Miss Kinnians class for slow adults but I’m trying very hard” shows that Charlie wants to be smart. Charlie says on page 286, “Maybe white mice are smarter than other mice.” This line shows us that he is aware that there are different levels of intelligence. The white mouse offers Charlie what he needs most in the world which is friendship. Charlie
man with a mental condition was seen as fragile. To further his intelligence level, he attended the Beekman College center for retarded adults. His desired self was to become intelligent. “If the operation works good I’ll show that mouse I can be as smart as he is even smarter” (12). The opposite of the real Charlie possessed the traits of anti-socialism, intelligence, possessing motivation, and being opinionated. “This intelligence has driven a wedge between me and all the people I knew and loved,
When we are having fun, time passes swiftly away. In contrast, when we have nothing to do, time hardly passes by. A second seems longer than a minute, a minute longer than an hour. However, 10 hours seem just 10 minutes when its fun, when we are engaged in something we enjoy doing. When we talk with a broader point of view, we say life is t short to live to the full if we are enjoying our life and still have millions of things we want to do but know we can’t because life’s just too short. But for
never really heard of the word grit in the academic world until taking this class, I thought grit and being smart where the same thing but that’s not the case.I believe everyone shares this trait but they show it in different tasks Many times I have been resilient and gritty in an academic environment without even knowing. Grit is a form of defining a action that takes place when the going gets tough but you find a way to cope or fix the situation, thats called being gritty. Mrs.Duckworth said that
his heart Charlie wants to be smart. In the story “flowers for Algernon” Charlie is the main character. He is a thirty seven year old man who wants an operation to become smart. The story was written by Daniel Keyes. I think that he should not have the operation. My first reason that I think that he should not have the operation is because a while after the operation he becomes dumb again. In the beginning he gets to experience some of the advantages of being smart such as being able to spell, read

”And she said, Charlie, you’re going to have a second chance. If you volunteer for this experiment you might get smart. They don’t know if it will be permanent but there’s a chance.” This story is about Charlie, who has an IQ of 68 and is extremely unintelligent, becoming smart through an operation, along with a mouse named Algernon. It shows how he changes and what eventually happens in the end. This story “Flowers for Algernon”, by Daniel Keyes, shows that great obstacles can be overcome, but consequences
they will get something out from it. This can relate to me because I love challenges even though sometimes I know I would fail, but I still tried my best. For example, in math class, most of the time I couldn’t understand the problems even after my teacher went through the process of solving them. I would do anything to be able to understand that problem whether it is to ask my teacher again for another explanation or to ask my classmates for help or go back to look at the math book again. I know for
the fox is bad, duplicitous; the crow vanity is strong. But as the growth of the age have to say once again read the fable, my view is different, now stood in the perspective of a more rational analysis of the causes of this story. Now read the story again, the fox has left a deep impression on me, I think he is very smart, he knows use each other's weakness is clever to reach own purpose, smart and skilled. His language is a lot of skill, how beautiful, he praised the crow to crow says his faults
wouldn’t be able to get into college.” I told her to plant her seed. Breanna got a little off track and said, “I always have problems with procrastination or speeding up and not getting the work done or just speeding up and not looking at everything.” This was not the direction I was looking for but decided to continue on and see how it played out, so I had Breanna plant her seed as well. When Savanah T was asked if she had any self-doubts she said “no.” I asked her again you have no self-doubts
slow again. He wants to move now so society won’t ridicule him for being slow again. Daniel Keyes wrote this short story for good reasons. Daniel Keyes wrote "Flowers for Angernon" to show people from an outside look on how we treat mentally challenged people. When you treat people as you always do, you don’t see how mean or how cruel it really may be. It could just be your personality or the way you were brought up. By him writing a story on a mentally challenged person wanting to become smart to
innovation of cell phones has led us to smart phones, and these smart phones are capable of putting certain businesses out of the market. Businesses that engineered PDAs in the past were met with challenges because smart phones are able to match their productivity. Land lines have become useless since everyone can afford a mobile device now. Listening to music has also switched from a traditional CD Player/MP3 Player to an everyday smart phone. The smart phone was innovated heavily towards the

what they were expecting. When Charlie started to die, he also got dumber and dumber. He said he wishes he could have another chance to be smart again, and he “doesn't know why im dumb agen,” (Pg 18). If he have never did this surgery, he would not have to deal with this pain and suffering of missing to be smart again. Even if he was going to be forever smart, he was going to die very soon. Is a few weeks of joy worth dying early and not living a fulfilled life? Due to this operation, he wasn’t able
Algernon,” by Daniel Keyes the character in the story, Charlie, is a guy that is not very smart. Charlie could’ve been used a lot for experiments in the past a lot, so he don’t want to be in any more experiments. Charlie was right by trying to fail the test he took. On page 201 the author stated, “I had a test today. I think I failed it and I think that maybe now they won’t use me.” Charlie wasn’t that smart by thinking that the doctors could use him
striving to learn to seem far less important than being (looking) smart”(21). Some students will go far enough to even cheat on an exam just to seem smart. Students believe the medal is worth more than what you did to get there. When a growth-minded student fails a test, they strive to learn what they did wrong, growth-minded students tend to work harder to be average but will achieve more in the long run. In the secret to raising smart kids, Dweck’s research on 60 fifth graders shows that a child's
