In Flowers for Algernon, mentally retarded Charlie becomes more and more intelligent, realizing that people did not treat him like a human before his operation and also, they made fun of him. My stepmom's friend has a younger brother Michael who has a similar condition to what Charlie had. He cannot speak well and take care of himself without assistance. People sometimes give him strange looks but he sees the good in everyone and is optimistic like Charlie, who says he will "have lots of frends where [he] [goes]" (311). Even though they both have fairly low I.Q.'s, they have open and warm hearts, making everyone smile and enjoying their lives to the fullest.
