Ignorance Or Intelligence In Flowers For Algernon By Daniel Keyes
Ignorance or Intelligence
As C.P. Snow from the ongoing New York Times once said, “Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.”. This means that science, although great, can be dangerous. In the novella “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes there is 37-year old character named Charlie Gordon who is mentally ill and has a operation that increases his intelligence three times. The effects end up temporary and forcing him to transform within days back to his old, fun, and playful self. In my personal opinion, I think Charlie is better of without the surgery. It was always Charlie’s dream to be smart but, he is better off without a normal brain.

    Should Charlie have had the Intelligence Operation? From the book "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes

    Charlie was forced to make an unfair decision. With an IQ of only sixty-eight Charlie could not have understood the good and bad sides of the operation. All Charlie knew was that he wanted to be smart and this operation could get him his greatest desire in one easy procedure. Because Charlie was mentally challenged, Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur did not take into consideration that it could hurt Charlie badly in the long run, and they did not make sure he thoroughly understood the consequences and side effects that would follow. There was nothing to let Charlie understand the huge amount of knowledge he would gain and how it would change his life forever. He did not want to be a genius; he did not want to know about "the mathematical variance equivalent in Dorbermanns Fifth Concert". Charlie thought Miss Kinnian was a genius just because she could give him reasons for things like punctuation; he didn't have to become any smarter than that to be happy, not even close. Charlie was convinced that once he had the operation that he'd be like everyone else and people would like him. The doctors did not take that into consideration or explain to him that the operation would not result in more people liking him and he would not be everyone else, he would be completely different from the rest of the world.…

    Multiple Themes In Charlie Gordon's Flowers For Algernon

    One reason for my thinking is that sometimes people want something so bad, they’re willing to do anything. The main character/narrator in this story, Charlie Gordon, wants something. He only wants to be smart and to be like other people… normal. “I want to be smart.” (pg. 190) He wants it so bad that he’s willing to take the risk of a surgical operation. This operation (on his brain, I might add) is supposed to get his logical thinking in better condition.…

    Flowers For Algernon Character Analysis

    The surgical operation was shown to be successful for a length of time but after so long things changed for the worst. Charlie knew this was going to happen after seeing the same thing happen to Algernon, the rat, who has had the same surgery done on him. Charlie started to regress back into his first state of mind. His intelligence starts to decline, his writing goes back to how it was, and his thinking process was back to how it was. Even with him noticing he was regressing he was grateful for the things he got a chance to understand and still was determined to work harder. “Im glad I got a second chanse in life like you said to be smart because I lerned a lot of things that I never even new were in this werld and im grateful I saw it all even for a littel bit”…

    Outliers

    In the book called Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, Malcolm has a chapter called The Trouble with Geniuses, Part I where Gladwell spends this chapter showing that a high IQ is not a voucher for a free ride on the success train. He goes to show that once you reach a certain IQ, you are just as likely as to be successful as someone with a much higher IQ score. My thoughts are this is why people exercise all parts of their brains. Gladwell is an excellent writer, no doubt. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end and would unquestionably recommend it to virtually anyone who has an interest in the basic success.…

    Psychology Myths

    Most people believe that people only use 10% of the brain power because they are hopeful. Even very educated people fall into this trap. If only ten percent is being used, there is plenty of room to become smarter. But this is untrue. Businesses feed off this hope for self-improvement, and therefore, create products that do not actually aid in self-improvement but just act as a “feel good” product for the customer. But these scams and shortcuts are useless. Hard work is the only way of getting ahead in life. Looking at the Terri Schiavo case, 50% of her cerebrum was destroyed in an accident, and after the fact, she remained in a state of vegetation for fifteen years before her inevitable death. If 90% of the brain was not needed, Schiavo should have survived. And in stoke and head trauma patients, no matter which part of the brain is destroyed, patients are always left with “serious deficits in functioning.” Finally, when parents of the brain are unused, they either wither away or are colonized by surrounding areas. Furthermore, people do not use only ten percent of their brain power. This is a myth I already knew to be false, and I found the supporting evidence to be very interesting.…
