A short story I have read
During my literature lesson, we learnt about a short story called "Flowers for Algernon". It is about a low IQ person called Charlie Gordon and his friend, a mouse called Algernon. They were both used as experimental materials to find out a way to increase a person's IQ. I feel that it is cruel thing to do as in the story, it ended with Algernon's death and Charlie lost his memory.
The story was very sad as when Charlie was enjoying the temporary success of the operation and having an IQ of 204, he fell in love with another character, a woman called Miss Kinninan. When Charlie lost his memory again, he did not want Miss Kinnian and his other friends sad so he left them forever. It is very saddening at the ending and i was so touched. Imagine how it feels to not being able to read something you have written. I think there is also a book of the story available. If you want to read the book, I repeat, the title is "Flowers for Algernon" written by Daniel Keyes.
