Flowers for Algernon is simply about a man named Charlie Gordon who suffers from being mentally challenged. Charlie goes to a adult school daily to improve on his learning and education. Charlie takes many IQ tests and rarshock test to test his ability to comprehend on things and to determine how low his intelligence is. He also gets picked on a experiment that the two doctors Dr.Nemur and Dr.Strauss to see if he will get smarter within a short period of time. He writes progess reports in his book so the doctors will see if the experiment worked or not. Joe carp and Frank Reily are his "so called friends" at his job at the factory. They always take him out and gets him to drinking and embrasses him and he doesn't even realize it. You will have to read more through the story to get a better understanding. I would recommend this story to teens and even adults it is a good story.

Flowers for Algernon is about a man named Charlie Gordon who suffers from mental retardation.

Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence-a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.

As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?

Winner of the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.
