When I read the book back in high school I remember I had to write an essay on it asking the same question-what is the main message of the book?

My answer was basically: Flowers for Algernon is a story of understanding and tolerance.

It's been such a long time since I read that book, but I believe the overall message is to accept who you are because the main character was below average intelligence, then he became intelligent, but loss his knowledge in the end.

flowers for algernon is the story of the mouse and the guy who are super smart, right? So the main message would probably be something along the lines of treat all people equal( which what's his name's "friends" don't laern until the end) intelligence must be earned ( He grows dumber as fast as he grew smarter) or perhaps it's just a cautionary tale about messing with the human body.

That e book is super...I undergo in strategies having to verify that back while i substitute into in the 8th grade substitute into properly. It substitute into between the few books that i for my section did savour examining. The action picture "Charley" is sturdy, despite if it would not incredibly do the e book justice. by the way, examining the e book is the only appropriate answer right here. it is going to artwork out lots better than attempting to weasel your way with the aid of college by getting different persons to do your artwork for you.

Ignorance is bliss would be one. Intelligence has two-fold disadvantages: Everything Charlie previously believed was not as it seemed once he became smarter. He realized who he thought were his friends were actually making sport of him. He didn't even realize it but thought of them as good friends. He also sees the scientists conducting the experiement on him in a different light once his intelligence surpasses their own. The story is about consciousness and awareness. How we see others and view our circumstances is dependent on our awareness of our social position.
