Charlie: Comparing The Book And Movie

After the surgery, Charlie’s mind thought completely different than what it had before the A.I. surgery, obviously,

Charlie was better off after the surgery because realized he was in love with Miss Kinnian. On page 128, Charlie says “The thought of leaving her behind made me sad. I’m in love with Miss Kinnian.” In the story, it also shows Charlie realizing how beautiful and how young Miss Kinnian really

My next reason is that the operation made him have a vocabulary that no one could understand.My evidence is from a piece of Charlie's progress report on pg. 331; “I am very disturbed, I saw Miss Kinnian for the first time in over a week, I tried to avoid all discussions of intellectual concepts and to keep the conversation on a simple, everyday level, but she stared at me blankly and asked me what I meant

“Awakenings” Is a film based on a After the operation, in only a couple of months, Charlie starts showing signs of new intelligence. His grammar, improved, and he is able to reflect on what his does in the past something he wasn’t able to do before. He had finally gotten something use had always desired. Then, everything and everyone turned on him. In “PROGRESS REPORT 12” April 30th (pg. 60) Charlie writes: “now, they hate me for my knowledge and understanding. What in the name of god do they want of me? They’ve driven me out of the factory. Now I more alone than ever before…” Charlie got what he always wanted, and now he lost everything he had. It was a sacrifice it sounded like he didn’t want to make. I can tell just be the tone of his writing. This shows that we should embrace everything that we have. Charlie didn’t embrace everything, although he appreciated most of the thing he never became happy not being able to just enjoy life as it is.

hate and mistreat children, and feature at least one "good" adult to counteract the villain(s). However, this tale offers a different Mel Stuart's direction however takes some parts of the movie in a slightly darker direction than the book. One sequence, for

Additionally, Charlie now has a chance to be smart. This operation allows Charlie's IQ to triple. Since Mrs.Kinnian suggested Charlie he got a chance to experience true intelligence, and love. After the operation, he was able to comprehend more than the doctors, who were before smarter than him.

I believe that Charlie is happier when he is less intelligent before the operation. You know the saying ignorance is bliss? That's what I think this is. Sometimes when I get bored I think about things. This is one of them. Would you rather be happy and not know something bad is happening? Or would you rather be unhappy and know that something bad is happening. Charlie was happiest before the operation. He didn't know that his "friends" weren't really his friends. He didn't know that his whole work place was making fun of him. He was happy though. Then he was intelligent, and knew what everyone was doing, he wasn't happy. He knew his "friends" weren't his friends. He knew everyone makes fun of him. He wasn't happy. In fact, he was so upset that

“When a storm comes, bamboo ends. It doesn’t break.” (Michelle Morgan) Girl In Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow is about a girl named, Charlie, who is torn into pieces. Charlie struggles with severe depression and does not do well with socializing. Seeing this as a cry for help, Casper comes in to save Charlie. In Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper, Andy as well is struggling with depression. In an unforgettable drinking and driving accident, Andy killed his best friend, Robbie. Coach Ripley notices a change in his actions and emotions, so he decides to help and fix how Andy is doing in school and at home. In the books Girl In Pieces and Tears of a Tiger, two characters both portray as the caregiver archetype because they are giving a struggling teenager

Charlie had a chance to learn and do things that most people wouldn't have a chance to do in a lifetime, even if it was for a short time. After Charlie's regression he continued to try to become intelligent again, however, Charlie had said himself that he was grateful when he said, "Im glad I got a second chanse to be smart becaus I lerned a lot of things that I never even new were in this world and Im grateful that I saw it all for a little bit (Keyes 245) [Sic]." You have to understand that, with a mindset like this, you know you have done the right thing. Charlie was grateful for his chance to be smart and was thoroughly pleased with his decision. Nothing can be more favorable than the joyous feeling of gratitude. It can be compared to getting the gift you always wanted for Christmas, or when someone gives you a sincere smile that will brighten any bad day. This must have been what Charlie had been feeling in order to be this grateful. Another piece of evidence to prove this point is when Dr Nermur had said that Charlie was, "trying to cram a lifetime of research and thought into a few weeks (Keyes 238)." Both Charlie and Dr. Nemur both know that he was capable of this, and so much more. After the operation Charlie was super intelligent and grew the ability to understand more things socially, which is what he wanted the most, to be able to understand his friends and be smart like them, two of his greatest desires in one stone.

Doctors save many people's lives, they can make their lives even better than they are now. In the short story "Flowers for Algernon," by Daniel Keyes, Charlie Gordon performs an operation to make him a genius. Charlie Gordon is a mentally challenged 37 year old man,

In my opinion I believe that everyone has to go through a bad experience to learn more about life. I think that even though most of his memories are bad, that he now knows what to do when he feels anger, love, or when he is scared. Now that Charlie is more intelligent than he was before, he could prove to all of the people that hurt him, that he is smart and knows how they have been treating them in the past. In one of Charlie’s progress reports it states that “When I went up to Gimpy he jumped and dropped his coffee.” This is proving how people that have treated him badly in the past are now afraid of him and the amount of brilliance that he has after his surgery. The bakery boys don’t know that he got the surgery so all they know is that Charlie has been acting very strange and they are scared of what he knows about his past. I envision that this surgery has helped Charlie understand what life is and the feelings that come with it. I don’t think that Charlie would have survived life not being able to recognize everything around

Charlie had two key things, which is why the doctors chose Charlie. The two key things were Charlie's motivation and Miss Kinnian. Miss Kinnian could teach Charlie after the operation, and the doctors Charlie's motivation showed that Charlie really wanted the operation.The doctors chose Charlie, without considering the benefits and harms for him, but only of those key things. The doctors only saw benefits for themselves. They decided that since Charlie wanted the operation, even though he was completely unaware of the possible harms and benefits, the doctors would do it. To the doctors, Charlie was merely a subject willing to do the operation. From the other point of view, understanding what Charlie's motivations was very ethical. That isn't true because that was only one of Charlie's values. Values are parts of life that you think is most important, and being smart wasn't the only thing he valued. For example, in the book it says, "Im glad Im going back to work because I miss my job and all my frends and all the fun we have there." That shows Charlie values his friends and his job

Should Charlie have had the operation? In the story “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, Charlie isn’t very intelligent. His teacher Mrs. Kinnian thinks he would be good to get to operation. Charlie is willing to lose his personality and everything about him already, just to get an operation that is supposed to make you intelligent. It may be temporary, but he goes for it. If he never had gotten the operation he wouldn’t have lost everything he had, such as his personality and most of all Mrs. Kinnian.

I think that Charlie was happier before her had the operation. I think this because when he was unintelligent he never knew what people were laughing at when he was at work. Before the operation, Charlie didn't know that Joe and the rest of the workers were making fun of
