Dear readers of my blog,
The literature text I am referring to is "Flowers for Algernon".
After reading this novella, I realised that Charlie Gordon, though not bright, has many qualities that are worth emulating. How many of us are willing to endure pain and hardship in order to achieve our goals in our lives? How many of us, after attaining our goals, are willing to share the fruits of our labour with others? Well, Charlie Gordon did all of this!
An honest and diligent man who would not make up lies about others, he worked very hard to read and write better than the rest of his classmates. Charlie was also an independent person as he found the night school by making enquiries on his own.
Not an aimless soul, he had a goal in life to be intelligent like everyone else and worked hard to achieve this goal.
The superstitious Charlie brought his rabbit’s foot and his lucky penny everywhere he goes.
He was very kind to his friends, often helping them run errands. His love for animals is evident in his care for Algernon.
Charlie is willing to share his new-found knowledge with others. As his intelligence level deteriorated rapidly, he did not become despondent but instead, he worked even harder to complete his research, enabling the society to benefit from it.
I strongly recommend everyone to read this superbly-written story by Daniel Keyes.
Bye :)
Nathan
