Charlie, a smart, clever lad. Well, some may call it clever, some call it evil. The fact of the matter is, Charlie had ways of manipulating other children into doing his work. This story is one of his more... genius schemes. Charlie always had plights when it came to keeping items, and so, he kept a list of the property he lost. Most items he lost were unimportant, useless doohickeys and thingamajigs. Except for today. Today Charlie lost the gift he received for his birthday, a $350 dollar Intel Skylake processor. At the moment, Charlie is panicking in his room, trying to find it. "Oh, where is it, I have to find the processor," Charlie rambling, "... and I'm talking to myself. Stop Charlie, stop. Think for a second." Charlie had a brilliant …show more content…
I like you guys, you aren’t annoying like some other kids.” “Remember what you said? ‘You people are so annoying i wish you all would just vanish’?” “I said that?” “Yeah… what are you really planning?” “Nothing! I just wanted to play a game with some friends. We’re friends right, Timmy?” “Okay, whatever, what game?” “A scavenger hunt, inside my house. I have the list right here.” The little ambassador talked to the congregation of kids, asking if they wanted to play. After some discussion, everyone agreed, for the most part. Then, one by one, they took lists from Charlie’s hands. Charlie led the flock of children to his home. He decided to collect toys from the mindless children saying it was a fee to let them play his amazing scavenger hunt. Now, not only was he getting back lost goodies, and his processor. He was also getting materials to build contraptions. Charlie started the game, the kids went on a frenzy, looking for the items on the list. Charlie sat back and played games to pass the time. In 20 mere minutes, all 67 items on the list were found. He kicked the children out of his house and stated his thanks. I guess reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer paid off, I got my stuff back, and didn’t do a thing. Now, Charlie can go back to his
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
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.
Much the same as each other young person his age, Charlie needs to manage growing up. The photograph identifies with Charlie in light of the fact that his most concerning issue is himself. Charlie acts in like manner to regardless of whether the other individual might want or abhorrence his activities, rather than making the wisest decision. By giving into transitory wants, he harms them in a far and away more terrible way. " Also, I simply let [Patrick kiss me].
In the symbolic task, six of the 15 children never found the toy, and six retrieved it only
I can’t stop staring, and I know it’s bad, but… There’s something so enticing about her. I know it’s weird, and kind of stalkerish, but I just…. I don’t know. As soon as I got home, I ran upstairs so that I could avoid my mother. She’s been even worse lately, preaching about how “I need to accept the lord” and that “I’ll be damned for eternity because of my unfaithful practices.” and that “God doesn’t accept homosexuals. You need to change your hair so that you don’t look like one, and marry a man in order to carry on the Lord’s beautiful creations.” It’s ludicrous. She’s only upset because I refuse to follow in her footsteps and give up all of my faith whom, according to her, seems to hate 85% of of the things that he’s created. I hate bashing religious groups because I always feel like a complete fool, but the bible says literally nothing against half of the things that these people are so prejudiced against. Christians like my mom, people that take it too far and way out of context are the worst.
Richard Evans once said, “Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.” Even though objects can seem like the most important things in life, children need to understand the purpose of family and how they can help them accomplish their goals. The short story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury captures the meaning of objects and what they can do to a human’s mind. Two children, Peter and Wendy, from “The Veldt” had a machine which could make you believe you were anywhere but an ordinary room, they called this a nursery. In this room was a virtual world where things seemed so real, these children believed they in fact were. One day in this seemingly magical home, their parents started

Charlie, a test subject, trapped inside these laboratory walls. To be, or not to be a hero at heart, or a scientific experiment. Charlie, is the true fact of how knowledge changes the world, and how it destroys it. But, Charlie isn’t destroying anything he’s warning everyone not to change! A hero stops evil, but Charlie doesn’t stop evil… knowledge is evil. You know, “ Ignorance is bliss,” well knowledge destroys this, do you want to know everything? No! But, Charlie was abused, but was still helping others and if this isn’t heroic, why have him… With his generous personality, sacrifices, and actions .
Charlie planted the plan around me so my mind would be free of it. “I prayed I would never see you.” My eyes went back to my father. “Not because I didn’t want to see you. Oh no, I longed to see your face since the day Mother Country took you from me.”
“Have you met my cousins? Wait no! Because if you did you would know that they are the most annoying kids ever!”
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”(Maya Angelou). All we really want is for the story of our lives to be known. Charlie writes his letters to not only to make his story known when nobody else has the time for him, but also to help himself work through the many problems that he is facing growing up. While I believe that in the end writing letters helped him get through a rough time in his life, I still think that it held him back from having many social experiences that all teenagers should have. While writing has value to many, for some it can actually hold them back from experiencing life, as we all should. Charlie always seems to turn to writing so solve all of his problems but that is not always the answer;
The family’s pet dog comes over to investigate and the children laugh when the real animal knocks a few of the toys over. They attempt to coerce the dog to play with them but quickly give up when she fails to follow directions as well as their imaginary animals do. “A” leaves the game and Chris continues to play, arranging the stuffed animals as if they were his audience.
