Book report 15


Hello, everyone :)
Now, I am going to write Charlie’s last progress report which he wrote at November 21. It is only 5 pages but there has the truth that he feels inside.

I would like to write the last part of his last progress report.

“I dont no why Im dumb agen or what I did rong. Maybe its because I dint try hard enuf or just some body put the evel eye on me. Anyway I bet Im the frist dumb persen in the world who found out some thing inportent for sience. I did somthing but I dont remember what. So I gess its like I did it for all the dumb pepul like me in all over the world.

Goodby Miss Kinnian and dr Strauss and everybody…

P.S. please tel prof Nemur not to be such a grouch when pepul laff at him and he woud have more frends. Its easy to have frends if you let pepul laff at you. Im going to have lots of frends where I go.

P.S. please if you get a chanse put some flowrs on Algernons grave in the bak yard.”

 

He had many misspelling like the beginning of this book. That means his IQ back to the beginning. However his IQ got low, he worried about Algernon. I think that shows Charlie is gentle person for real. I was really moved because however Charlie is a subject for experiment, he loved his life, everyone around him, and Algernon. He is considerate of people around him. I want to be a person like him.

If you have a chance to read this book, please tell me how you feel about Charlie :)

Book report 14


Hi, everyone!
I would like to tell you about Charlie’s progress report of October 11 to November 20.

He wake up in the morning and don’t know where he is or what he is doing here. He lies in bed for days and don’t seems to know who or where he is. Fugues of amnesia. All so cruelly logical, the result of speeding up all the processes of the mind. He learned so much so fast, and now his mind is deteriorating rapidly. What if he won’t let it happen? What if he fights it?

He is forgetting things he learned. Motor activity impaired. He keeps tripping and dropping things. Now he realized his coordination is bad. He have to move slowly to get things right.

 
Charlie said,

“I don’t regret the experiment. I had an empty, stupid smile.
And everyone played tricks on me, and laughed at me.
Even though I didn’t understand why they were laughing, I sensed that if they could laugh at me they would like me. And I wanted them to like me. I acted like a child and I even laugh at myself along with them.
But I don’t feel like laugh at myself right now.
Maybe that’s why it was so important for me to learn. I thought it would make people like me. I thought I would have friends. That’s something to laugh at, isn’t it?”

I felt something deep feeling with his words.

Book report 13


Hello, ladies :)

I’m going to write about Charlie’s progress report of October 3 to October 10.

 

He thought of suicide to stop it all now while he is still in control and aware of the world around him. But he knows that he must remember he is the only person who became a genius and this ever happened to. These progress reports are Charlie Gordon’s contribution to mankind.

 

He is afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if he had never been. More than he can bear. Pain as he have never known, and coldness, and nausea, and the great buzzing over his head flapping like a thousand wings, he open his eyes, blinded by the intense light. And flail the air and tremble and scream.

 

I’m afraid of death, too. No one could tell what happened to our mind after we died. That’s interesting but very scary thing.
