A beautiful story, the feeling behind intelligence and stupidity both is overlooked through one window. Why must Charlie Gordon lose his grip of something he had always wished for? For intelligence is a curse and a blessing, but i realized that losing intelligence is far more daunting. I am sad, but just like the "Algernon-Gordon effect" paper help the people in the world of the book, i hope that Flowers for Algernon opened the eyes of the people to see the "mentally ill" as human too, and to realize the importance of the responsibility for intelligence. I am really sad. "I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been."
