It is written from the perspective of Charlie in first person
Algernon was a mouse they did an operation on, just like Charlie had an operation. They had the dame operation.
As Algernon and Charlie undergo the same operation and the same testing, Algernon's developments are good predictors of Charlie's near future. When Algernon begins to lose his intelligence, it is a chilling indication that Charlie's own mental gains will be short-lived. Algernon also symbolizes Charlie's status as a subject of the scientists: locked in a cage and forced to run through mazes at the scientists' whim, Algernon is allowed no dignity and no individuality. Charlie's freeing of Algernon from his cage and simultaneous decision to abandon the laboratory makes Algernon's physical liberation a symbol of, and a precursor to, his own emotional independence.
Charlie carried a rabbit's foot for good luck in "Flowers for Algernon."
because that Algernon took the same operation as charlie so whatever happen to Algernon it will happen to charlieThe story is named Flowers For Algernon, because at the end the mouse, Algernon, dies and Charlie puts flowers on Algernon's grave.
In "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, Algernon is a laboratory mouse who undergoes the same intelligence-enhancing experiment as the protagonist, Charlie Gordon. At first, Charlie views Algernon as a competitor and is determined to prove that he can surpass the mouse's achievements. Over time, Charlie becomes attached to Algernon and forms a bond with him, eventually feeling a sense of empathy and connection as they both experience similar struggles.
