English students are beginning
to read the short story “Flowers for Algernon”. This story, written by
Daniel Keyes, is told from the perspective of a man named Charlie Gordon.
Charlie is a 37-year-old man with an intellectual disability who wants more
than anything to “be smart”. He is offered the chance of a lifetime, and
students are asked to consider the impact of getting and then losing something
of great importance, along with the value of intelligence and how friendships
can be defined.
