Flowers for Algernon tells the reader about how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

I believe the author put all of this information in his story because it all makes it more interesting to read for the reader.

Even when people aren't very smart, people should not judge them because they will never know what that person may have gone through, or what will happen in the future that could help them. Although people may seem like they don't know what's happening around them, they will eventually realize who their real friends are, so people should always be nice to each other no matter
