Charlie Gordon is a thirty-two-year-old mentally retarded man who encounters mockery and copious dilemmas. He works at a bakery as a custodian and delivery boy. Charlie’s personality is full of compassion and affability to gratify people. He is the most diligent student in Alice Kinnian’s literacy class for mentally retarded adults. Alice Kinnian observes that Charlie has a lot of potential. Because of Charlie’s motivation to derive knowledge, she recommends him for an operation. He is sent to Professor Nemur’s, an arrogant, career-obsessed scientist in charge of the experiment of rendering Charlie “smart”. After a while, Charlie realizes in Professor Nemur’s perspective he is only a laboratory animal rather than a human being. On the other hand, another developing problem rapidly arises as Charlie discovers that Algernon, a mouse, who underwent the same operation, is struggling with an abnormal demeanor and eventually dies. Charlie begins to worry if he too will soon follow this same path.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes is an admirable, inspirational, science-fiction novel about accepting mentally disabled people as human beings. Keyes creates a visualization that captures the reader’s attention. It made me feel as if I were a part of Charlie’s poignant and surreal journey. This novel certainly is one of the most sad and painful books I have ever read, a authentic tragedy that really triggered my emotions. I would suggest this genuine classic book to any reader that is interested in a suspenseful, influential, and stimulating adventure.
