How Did Charlie Better Off Before Or After The Surgery Had Happened

I believe that Charlie is happier when he is less intelligent before the operation. You know the saying ignorance is bliss? That's what I think this is. Sometimes when I get bored I think about things. This is one of them. Would you rather be happy and not know something bad is happening? Or would you rather be unhappy and know that something bad is happening. Charlie was happiest before the operation. He didn't know that his "friends" weren't really his friends. He didn't know that his whole work place was making fun of him. He was happy though. Then he was intelligent, and knew what everyone was doing, he wasn't happy. He knew his "friends" weren't his friends. He knew everyone makes fun of him. He wasn't happy. In fact, he was so upset that

For being such intelligent doctors they should have known better than to put him through the surgery knowing all the risks. Charlie should not have gone through the experiment even though it was a major brake through for science. The doctors who performed the surgery were being very selfish when they decided to use Charlie for the experiment. Because of this experiment Charlie has lost all of his friends and his job and his feeling for miss.kinnian have grown rapidly just to get shot down.

Charlie was better of after surgery because he was given a twenty-five dollar bonus. At first he didn’t get any bonus because he didn’t get anything in the factory. When he got the twenty-five dollar bonus he wanted to go out with Frank and Joe, but “Joe said that he had to buy something for his wife and Frank said he was meeting his cousin for lunch (127).

One example from the text that supports this argument is when Charlie expresses gratitude towards Miss Kinnian, saying, "You were kind to me, Miss Kinnian. You went out of your way to help me become smart." This shows that Charlie values the connections he has been able to form after the operation and recognizes the impact others have had on his growth. Finally, Charlie was better off before the operation because he was at peace with

Charlie shouldn’t have had the surgery because it was dangerous. To begin with, the doctors didn’t even know what all would happen with the surgery, which is dangerous. They only knew that the surgery should triple IQ, and it could ware off. The surgery killed Algernon, which is obviously a sign of danger. The surgery could’ve been dangerous to the rest of the world if Charlie’s smarts would’ve reached to the outside world more.

Charlie was better off after the surgery. After the surgery, he had real friends, loved Miss Kinnian, and beat Algernon. After all what happened after the surgery, at least he knew what it felt like to be

But, the reason why was all because he was starting to feel things. Emotions are normal and that surgery made him feel like that. Itś honestly not a bad thing. Other readers may also think he shouldn't have had the surgery because it led him to get fired from his only job, however, it wasn't his fault. The other guys were uncomfortable and were afraid only because if they tried to pick on him, that Charlie would out-smart them all. One last reason people with my opposite idea believe that he shouldn't have had the surgery because in the story, Charlie says he didn't want anyone to feel sorry for him, so he left New York. However, most people wouldn't want anyone to feel bad or sorry for them and Charlie made a good choice because if Miss Kinnian was going to cry when she saw Charlie, he wouldn't want to hurt her more even though he was hurt by himself

Charlie Gordon would be better off after the surgery because the main reason he did this surgery is to get friends. Charlie realized he had friends and he didn't need the surgery after the operation. Charlie would be better off after the surgery because all he wanted was friends. Charlie would be better off after the surgery because he is now dumber than he was before and he is feeling lonely and depressed because all he wanted were friends and now he wasted all of his time trying to be smart that he didn't step back and see that he actually had friends like Joe Carp. Charlie also would have been better of without it because miss Kinnian and Charlie would have been better off without the surgery.

First of all, why Charlie shouldn’t have gotten the surgery is because he started understanding everyone and how they felt. This stressed him out a lot. He felt like he didn't belong with others. “Now I know what it means when they say “to pull a Charlie Gordon.” I'm ashamed.” (209). In this sentence, Charlie recognizes why his friends liked having him around so much. It was so that they could make fun of him and play tricks on him for their own fun. Also Charlie had felt bad about a kid at a restaurant. “I jumped up and shouted, “Shut up! Leave him alone! It's not his fault he can't understand! He can't help what he is! But for

Charlie would think that the best part of the operation would be the experiences and feelings he got to have. For example, Charlie and Miss Kinnian had dinner, where discussing Charlie's advancement in brain development, and the thought Charlie of passing Miss Kinnian intellectually made Charlie feel upset because he had fallen in love with her. In the story and movie, Charlie never had felt the feelings he had felt for Miss Kinnian ever before. Charlie said he thought of Miss Kinnian as genius and too old for him, he never saw her as a suitable girlfriend. As a result of the operation, Charlie would think the best part of the operation was being able to have feelings and experiences he never had before the operation. On the other hand,

He has undergone significant changes both before and after the surgery, but sadly this does not result in a good outcome for him. At first, Charlie's writing and grammar are weak, as seen by his progress reports. He does, however, show an impressive rise in language and interpersonal skills, and logical mathematical intelligence following the surgery. His quick ability with punctuation provides proof of his linguistic intelligence. Charlie's realization that his friends were making fun of him also shows his improved interpersonal intelligence.

After the operation, in only a couple of months, Charlie starts showing signs of new intelligence. His grammar, improved, and he is able to reflect on what his does in the past something he wasn’t able to do before. He had finally gotten something use had always desired. Then, everything and everyone turned on him. In “PROGRESS REPORT 12” April 30th (pg. 60) Charlie writes: “now, they hate me for my knowledge and understanding. What in the name of god do they want of me? They’ve driven me out of the factory. Now I more alone than ever before…” Charlie got what he always wanted, and now he lost everything he had. It was a sacrifice it sounded like he didn’t want to make. I can tell just be the tone of his writing. This shows that we should embrace everything that we have. Charlie didn’t embrace everything, although he appreciated most of the thing he never became happy not being able to just enjoy life as it is.

One reason why I think the surgery was a bad idea was because, no one was expecting him as a friend. When Charlie got his surgery, some people at his work were realizing that Charlie had changed, and was starting to have feelings. “Look at him. His face is red.He's blushing. Charlie is blushing.Hey, Ellen, what'd you do to Charlie? I never saw him act like that before”. In this sentence Charlie's workmates realized that Charlie's operation was actually working, and that Charlie was

Charlie said that he wanted to “get smarter” so that he would fit in with all of his friends. Charlie wanted the operation but I think he wanted it for the wrong reasons and he didn't fully understand all the risks that it could have on his life. He didn’t even think about what would happen if something went wrong or if it didn't work, he was only focused on the fact that he was going to be smart. Charlie’s agreement to get the operation done was based off of his hopes and dreams, which was to be smart, and that was all Charlie was thinking

To begin, one of the biggest reasons that Charlie would’ve been better off having never gotten the surgery is so he wouldn’t have to deal with knowing what great intelligence is like, but then having to go back to being naïve and dumb again. In the story Flowers for Algernon, Keyes says, “I learned so much so fast. Now my mind is deteriorating rapidly. I won’t let it happen. I’ll fight it. I can’t help thinking of the boy in the restaurant, the blank expression, the silly smile, the people laughing at him. No- please- not that again…” (303) This shows that Charlie realizes his mental capabilities are deteriorating and
