Charlie Gordon Character Analysis

Holden's fear of rejection is the source of not being able to create relationships which isolates him from society. Because of this fear of intimacy and rejection, Holden begins to go into a very depressed state. Another reason why Holden is never integrated into society is because he still has the mentality of living in the last. This is another problem Allie comes into. When Holden states, "I like Allie just because someone is dead you don't just stop liking them, for God's sakes- especially if they were about a thousand times nicer than the people you know that're alive (Salinger 171), he believes that genuine happiness and peace can be obtained in his past and believes that Allie is no longer present in society.

“Flowers for Algernon” Argumentative Essay Charlie Gordon (of Daniel’s Keyes’ “Flowers for Algernon”) should never have had the operation which had devastated his life. The societal conflicts that Charlie had been ignorant to became apparent to him suddenly. Furthermore, the mistreatment of mentally impaired people and detrimental way people had viewed him in his previous state was another shocking revelation Charlie had been awakened to after his intellect soared. The fact that the doctors, Nemur and Straus took utter, absolute advantage of Charlie (as well as treating him as if he was identical to a lab rat) had been publicized to him on top of that. Even worse, subsequent to the surgery, Charlie’s newfound critical thinking skills

Did you have any problem with them in the field? No, well there you are! At present you can still walk, but if once the old boy gets you under the knife you 'll be in cripples” (259). The doctors are being compared to “old boys” or basically children because they are not in the right mindset to realize what they are doing is completely wrong and inhumane. This goes to show that the scandalous opportunities brought by

(Homer.5.50-51).

The book "Flowers Of Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is a science fiction short story based on a man named Charlie, who has a learning disadvantage. He gets a chance to mend himself by getting surgery. The surgery was a dangerous idea which leads to his death. Charlie was better off before the surgery because it changed Charlie's life by making him a miserable and grievous person. One of the reasons Charlie felt this way was because the knowledge he obtained from the surgery was short-term.

Charlie's doctors did not ask any of these questions, and it resulted in a negative life for Charlie afterwards. Although it was unexpected, he was fired from his job because of his intelligence. His doctors did not take this into consideration, therefore neither of them acted ethically in this situation. One might argue that Dr. Neymar and Dr. Straus did make ethical decisions in their experimental surgery. Charlie was eager and motivated to do this surgery.

Josh Lieb once said, ¨Insanity is just what we call stupidity when it doesn't make sense.¨ This quote relates to someone who does something others may not understand and not necessarily being incorrect or crazy. In the play Proof by David Auburn the main character, Catherine, is perceived as mentally ill by other characters like her sister Claire. Although she is perceived to be crazy she is actually a misunderstood genius. Throughout the play Catherine grieves the loss of her father who was a genius mathematician whose mind gradually deteriorated from mental illness.

“Flowers for Algernon” Argumentative Essay Charlie should not have been subject to the experimental surgery in Daniel Keyes’s “Flowers for Algernon.” The operation had many cruel side effects to an isolated social reject with a below-average IQ. Because of his impaired cognitive abilities, Charlie had to face substantial, tangible societal conflicts. Not only did he have disaccord with society, he was used as an experiment; Charlie was a test subject first and a sentient human second.

His misreading of the situation made his anger worse. Harry took his anger out on the doctor because the doctor had something that Harry did not like. Harry started yelling at the doctor because the doctor asked if he has really seen the krait, which Harry took as the doctor calling him a liar. Harry had a lot of anger built up inside of him from the stress he had been under, the sarcasm and misreading just added to that anger. Nevertheless, Harry was angry when he finally got to move from his bed.

This is true, but the thing is emotions like anger and sadness only make us more human. Everyone has emotions like these so why is it so bad when Charlie has them. Another argument the opposing side has is that after the surgery Charlie became self aware about his “friends” and was fired from his job. I think it was good Charlie got away from his “friends” because Charlie could have been physically hurt instead of emotionally.

Completely alert about him facing the same fate his best friend Algernon had faced. In addition, after he became smart, his co-workers started to despise him and

Although it has been said by some critics that ‘a work that does not provide the pleasure of significant closure has terminated with an artist fault,’ this part of the quote definitely does not apply. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is 287 pages of torment, heartache and anguish for not only the main characters but for the readers as well; but it doesn’t stop them both from moving on. As the book progresses, it seemed to only be getting worse for the father and son which was immensely disappointing at the time because happy endings are usually heavily relied upon in order to feel like the book is pleasant; even though it is proven in other works that, that is not always the case. The ending seemed to appropriately conclude the work since it wasn’t

Like Irene, Cheever utilizes self-delusion as a coping method for the issues around him and his own moral ambiguity. In the midst of conflicts surrounding his marriage, Cheever continuously failed to take responsibility for the rifts he had caused. Even following the evaluation from the psychiatrist, Cheever persisted with the notion that Mary was at fault. He even maintained this position after having an affair with another woman.
