Charlie Gordon Dialectical Journal

Charlie was a man that did not know how to stand up for himself. He allowed his peers to bully him, and treat him like he is worthless. Charlie thinks that if he allows people to laugh at him, and tease him, they will become his friend. He thinks “Its easy to make frends if you let

I would rather live in the World State due to life on the “savage reserve” being hazardous. On the reserve, food is not guaranteed. In 1984 it is stated that the environment of the savage reserves is so inhospitable that it is not productive to establish civilization in these areas. To me, living in the World State would mean losing my identity, so I wouldn’t miss the freedoms that I have now. On the other hand, on the savage reserve I would be aware of the missing food and absence of any luxury. Also, based on Bernard’s experience in the book, I would have a hard time fitting in on the reserve as a white person.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” “In fact,” said Mustapha Mond, “you’re claiming the right to be unhappy.” “All right then,” said the Savage defiantly, “I’m claiming the right to be unhappy,” This significant quote from Brave New World had moved innumerable readers’ heart, so do I. Exaggeration? No. It’s the satire to the false meaning of the universal happiness, and it’s this quote which made me had rethink what do I really want and the way of living I want to choose. Because the deep influence and rumination brought by the book, I would like to say

1. A large amount of construction and building work was going on in the city. Unfortunately for the people, construction meant delays, but all for a good end result. “Construction delays elsewhere on the grounds were especially frustrating” (pg 167) Chicago is booming with new buildings and constructions sights everywhere. This quote shows the work of construction that is all over the city.

This quote was chosen because Charlie desires to be loved, treasured, and essentially wanted like any human being would, but unfortunately his love was received in the wrong manner.

Charlie Gordon has faced isolation his entire life. His family had given up attempting to increase his intelligence. His coworkers laugh at him, but Charlie doesn’t understand that he is

A teenage, fair-skinned boy with long red hair awakens but is blindfolded. He is in a silver-colored coffin. He is wearing nothing but a red cloth around his lower body and his limbs are chained together.

The ride towards the abandoned warehouse was deafening and harsh. There were countless military trucks holding soldiers from all across the country, all of them fighting for a prize that seemed too perfect to be true. Fletcher was in Unit 1, the highest ranking soldiers of them all. There were already tons of soldiers, although it seemed emptier than usual. No one ever spoke during the transportation because they were either grieving over the absence of their family or thinking about the things they could do with their prize.

Although, he had to put that aside and keep his hope and perseverance. He couldn’t just give up and die, which he didn’t. Charlie says “I've got to find the reason for the sharp regression in Algernon. I've got to know if and of when it will happen to me.” By this point he knows there is a chance he is going to die but he is still hoping and only wants to know when it will happen.

His parent especially his mother she couldn’t accept that his son was mentally challenged. Therefore, his witch mother obliged his father to throw Charlie away because he put her in embarrassing situations in front of the neighbors.

At the beginning of the book we see that Charlie didn’t have many friends. For instance, in page 8 Charlie states, “...So that's what I'm doing until I meet a friend here”. A couple of pages after Charlie tells us “Nothing

So in conclusion Charlie's life as an wallflower isn't the easiest thing out there for him with social awkwardness that he has it makes it so much harder for him. If Charlie was more social he wouldn't have these problems but he also wouldn't be the wallflower he is called to be. It's very important to take close attention to the text because he can say he feels alive with his friends but he could really feel alone or lost in his
