Book report 11

Good afternoon everyone.

Now, I would like to tell you Charlie's progress report of August 26 to September.

Charlie wrote a letter to professor Nemor. He completed his experiments and wrote a report entitled: “The Algernon-Gordon Effect: A Study of structure and Function of Increased Intelligence”. Finally, he reached a conclusion that proved may be described most simply in the following terms:

 

"Artifically-Induced Intelligence deteruirates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase."

In Japanese: 人為的に誘発された知能は、その増大量に比例する速度で低下する。

 

 

He have checked and rechecked his date a dozen times in hope of finding an error, but he is sorry to say the results must stand.

  

September 15, Algernon died. He was on his side, stretched out in the corner of his cage. As is he were running in his sleep.

From Charlie’s progress report,

“It’s frightening to think that the same thing might be happening to me right now. Seeing it happen to Algernon makes it real. For the first time, I’m afraid of the future.

I put Algernon’s body into a small metal container and took him home with me. I wasn’t going to let them dump him into the incinerator. It’s foolish and sentimental, but late last night I buried him in the back yard. I wept as I put a bunch of wild flowers on the grave.”
