Trust In 'Speckled Band And A Retrieved Reformation'

Charlie Gordon should not have surgery due to the experimental nature of the surgery as its effects have not been fully analyzed. For example, Doctor Strauss and Doctor Nemur told Charlie that there is a possibility that the experiment could fail and that the outcome could be returning to his original mental status. Gordon remains indifferent to the statement and says, “They said you know it will probly tempirery. I said yes. Miss Kinnian told me. I dont care if it herts” (112). Charlie’s positive outlook on life and lack of reasoning leads him to make the decision to have the surgery performed on him. He is desperate to become smart and fit in with the rest of society.Additionally, Algernon’s testing had not been completed when Doctor Nemur and Doctor Strauss started the test on

In “Flowers for Algernon,” Charlie started out very happy, ordinary person with a good sense of humor, people enjoyed being around him. After he had an operation to help him belong, he became very serious and didn't do many fun things, he was not this type of person before the operation. The operation made him smart, but dull. As a result, he turned into someone he wasn’t; his co-workers and friends did not enjoy being with him anymore, in fact, the story says, they made it seem like they hated him. By changing himself, Charlie ended up losing most of the important people in his life and making him less happy as a result.

This passage appears in Progress Report 13, when Charlie and Algernon accompany Nemur and Strauss to the scientific convention in Chicago where they are presenting their findings. The researchers treat Charlie and Algernon as exhibits, and Charlie grows increasingly upset that he is being treated as more of a laboratory animal than a human being. At the convention, Charlie’s feeling of victimization reaches a new level of intensity. He is surrounded by an entire auditorium of scientists who are curious to see him not as an individual but merely as the result of Nemur and Strauss’s experiment. Charlie feels as though there are hundreds of Nemurs all eyeing him clinically, and that he is there not so much to enlighten the scientists as to entertain

The doctors, Dr. Nemur and Dr. Struass, didn’t think of how Charlies life would change after his intelligence wore off. They tested the surgery on rats but most of them died. There was only one rat that showed signs of the intelligence, Algernon. Since only one rat had the intelligence, they thought that testing

In the first place, Charlie and what he calls “his friends” made fun of him because of the way he does certain activities. For example, Charlie does not know how to read and write before the surgery. It was often a struggle for him because he could not quite apprehend with the subject he was dealing with. Charlie soon started to write his progress of work, which

Charlie's doctors that are going to preform the surgery were not good at making good ethical decions. When the doctors were getting Charlie ready for the surgery they did not tell him the all of the things

Once again, Nemur was treating Charlie with no human compassion or emotion. He objectified him, and made “constant references to me [Charlie] as a laboratory specimen” (Keyes 79). Since he relied on Charlie for experimental purposes, he began to make unethical decisions and make Charlie feel

The doctors took advantage of Charlie, knowing he was mentally challenged they told him they had a surgery that would make him smart. The doctors never told him of the downsides of the operation. For one the Hippocratic Oath what all doctors have to agree to say that the doctors must realize that they are treating a human being, who's life and economic standing can be affected from the treatment (Lasagna). The doctors threw that out the window and didn't care much about Charlies life, they just wanted to test the operation out on humans.

The First Important decision for Charlie decides to have the operation to make him smarter then dr strauss and nemer decide to use charlie for the operation the decision process for the both are not the same the 1st one where charlie gets to decide he decides relatively quick because he wanted to become smarter he really didn't care what might happen because he really was not living a meaningful life. The 2nd decision for the doctors was not so easy because if they did the operation on charlie there were kids that had applied for this and they might have gotten more use out of it if it had worked out because they may have learned more than charlie. I thought that Charlie was capable of making this decision for himself he had always wanted become smarter and he wanted to understand all of his “Friends” .

“I don’t know Charlie,” I said, “It could be very dangerous.” I don’t think Charlie cared very much because he kept muttering to himself the same phrase, “I’m gonna be smart”. The doctors still had to decide whether to use him or not. After they did several tests on Charlie, the doctors decided to use him for the experiment. I was happy for him, but scared at the same time. I didn’t know if he was going to be different, so I didn’t go visit him immediately afterward. Dr.Strauss and Dr.Nemur came to me one day and asked me if I would go to the laboratory and teach Charlie individually. They told me that I could start in a couple days. I was in the laboratory one night, after the surgery, and saw Charlie. He didn’t look different, but I was still a little nervous.

Charlie was better off after surgery because the payed him to do research for them.Charlie was making money for doing what he is going to end up doing anyway. It was also very helpful to Charlie because he also quit his job because they petitioned for him to get fired, so Mr. Donnegan just told he would be better off if he would just quit. “...They are going to pay me money every

To begin, Charlie was very childish, he could not understand basic concepts; that is one of many reasons why the operation was vital. Most children believe in folk tales which result in superstitions. Charlie had many superstitions, even his doctor for the operation, Doctor Strauss said superstitions are unnecessary in science. The surgery was coming up soon, everyone in the hospital gave him sweets. Charlie started to get overwhelmed by the attention; so, he wrote “I hope I have luck. I got my rabits foot and my lucky penny and my horse shoe. Only a black cat crossed me when I was comming to the hospitil. Dr Strauss says do not be supersitis Charlie this is science” (314-315). The immature acts Charlie did before the operation shows his concept

Without trust there is nothing. A Matter Of Trust, by Anne Schraff a fiction books. Based on trust, lost, forgiveness and patience of a teens life. The main character is Darcy with the additional characters of her friends Hakeem,Tarah, Cooper,Brisana and Roylin. Also her family Jamee(Little sister), Carl(Father), Annie(Grandma), and Mattie(Mother).

The brain surgery was unethical as it did not meet the standards of professional conduct, because Charlie did not understand potential side effects. Charlie had an IQ of 68 and was at this time intellectually disabled. It had to be known to the public so everybody knows what is going on with Charlie Gordon. The neurosurgeons, Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss may operate an illegal surgery

Trust is an essential department of every relationship. A healthy relationship needs trust and dependence on one another. Without trust, doubt and suspicions befall and tension arises between two people. In the play, Hamlet by William Shakespeare, trust is crucial and very breakable. The main character, Hamlet, is faced in a conflicting situation in which he begins to question the motives of the people closest to him, after his father’s death. He begins to doubt and suspect people close to him like, his lover, Ophelia, and his university friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Despite his keen trust issues, he forms a solid and unbreakable trust with his close friend, Horatio in which he is the only person Hamlet has ever let through his walls.
