Flowers for Algernon 2
A detailed Summary of Flowers for Algernon 2
I read the book Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It's a fiction
book, but with all the advances in modern medicine it could happen. It
takes place over the course of a few months, starting in March and
ending in November. The book shows how society treats retarded people.
It also reminds us that all doctors are not all knowing, and some claim
to know more than they actually do.
Charlie Gordan's character changes throughout the book. In the
beginning, when he is retarded, he is kindhearted and likable. In the
end, after the operation reverses, he is the same optimistic and happy
guy. In the middle, though, he almost turns into a new character, except
for the frequent reminders of how he used to be, in the form of
flashbacks to his childhood and other emotionally blocked parts of his
mind. He gets a new awareness of himself and others. He also makes the
realization that some people he had put on a pedestal are not as good as
they seem. He also starts to think about romance.
