Have you ever thought about increasing your intelligence? “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes is about a 37 year old man named Charlie Gordon. Charlie Gordon has a low IQ of 68 and was involved in an experimental brain surgery to raise his IQ by three times. The experiment was successful in a test subject mouse named Algernon. The experiment proved successful when Charlie slowly started getting smarter and beating Algernon in tests after the operation was performed. Charlie experimented and proved a hypothesis that his intelligence would decline as fast as it rose and eventually he would die. Based on his actions in the story, Charlie is a sensitive and determined character.
One way that Charlie shows sensitivity is through his feelings.
