Charlie's factory manager
Some parallel episodes include: Charlie racing Algernon through a maze Charlie's "friends" taking him out for drinks Charlie taking "inkblot tests" Charlie's feelings toward Dr. Strauss & Dr. Nemur Hope these helped. :)
Inkblot
Miss Kinnian
Charlie feels proud however soon relizes that its not really him.
In Flowers for Algernon, Charlie is upset about the incident with the dishwasher because the people are laughing at the boy because he is retarded. Charlie was once like the young dishwasher, and he is upset.
charlie is a mouse and algernon is a human No! Algernon is the mouse. Charlie Gordon is the human and narrator of the story.
Charlie considered Algernon a friend, but the fate of Algernon would also determine the fate of Charlie.
Charlie put his mother's locket in with Algernon.
I think it's because Charlie knows that it's a possibility it might happen to him as well. He's already started to lose his intelligence, just like Algernon, so after Algernon died, he may have come to the conclusion that he'd meet the same fate as Algernon. This is just a thought though. I'm still trying to find the answer myself! XD
To test on the maze
They run mazes.

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.
Charlie carried a rabbit's foot for good luck in "Flowers for Algernon."
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.
