In progress report 13, Charlie is acting strange because of his high intelligence and isn't respecting other people for who they are and the makes me upset due to the fact that he is disrespectful and thinks that he is superior than others. However in a way, i fell kind of sorry for him because he doesn't know how to act around people because inside is the old Charlie waiting to get out and he has soooo many problems as it is; headaches and can't sleep at night. I hope he finds what he is looking for in all of this mess
In this progress report, Charlie goes to visit Warren State home. I feel bad for Charlie because now he understands how sad this is and that he will soon be part of it. Also, the man who runs the school claims that Charlie could never understand what any of this is like and the man grows angry with him when he smiles at the remark. Algernon’s intelligence is beginning to decrease. Alice and Fay finally meet. Charlie is worried that there would be tension between them but is pleased to see that the women really like each other. Algernon is becoming more confused and violent when his attempts fail. Charlie goes to a party hosted by Professor and Mrs. Nemur. I feel bad for Charlie because Prof. Nemur is parading him around acting like he created Charlie from nothing. Charlie is upset because he was a person before the operation and Nemur just doesn’t see that. Charlie decides to drown his sorrows in alcohol and that is when “the other” Charlie comes out. He quickly runs to bathroom when he realizes what is happening and sobers himself up a bit. He has an entire conversation with his own reflection, thinking that it is “the other” Charlie. I feel bad because it must be frustrating for Charlie, having another mind inside of him that is desperate to get out but can’t. That night he comes up with a theory about his condition and writes a paper about it. With the paper he writes a note for Nemur explaining what is happening and what is going to happen. Algernon dies soon after; Charlie buries him in the backyard of his apartment building. Charlie goes to visit his mother, Rose, on Mark Street. I feel bad for both Charlie and his mother because her memories of him shift drastically. First she is scared of him, then she loves him and then she doesn’t remember him. This is as confusing for Charlie as it is for Rose. After wards, Charlie’s sister, Norma, comes home. She is so happy to see her brother because for years she thought he was dead. Norma and Charlie talk while Rose sits quietly in the corner. When Charlie has to leave, he hugs Norma and that sets his mother off. She picks up a knife and starts screaming that he shouldn’t look at his sister with sex in his eyes. Charlie is frightened and Norma remembers the night Rose wanted to kill Charlie, the night he went Uncle Herman’s.
In this progress report charlie is trying to understand his love for Alice. I feel sorry for him because he loves Alice but the "boy" Charlie inside of him won't let him show his love for her. Also Charlie begin to not like professor nemur because Nemur views him just as a guinea pig or an experiment. He thinks that Charlie was nothing before the operation. If i were Charlie I would be mad at Nemur for this because charlie was a person before the operation. I also feel bad for Alice because she finds herself not be able to understand what Charlie is talking about. Charlie has become a genius now and talks about subjects that Alice cannot understand.
I believe that Charlie should not have taken part in the experiment in the book, Flowers for Algernon. He should have remained in his original state where he was happy and well liked.
Throughout the book, I felt sorry for Charlie. Originally, he was mentally retarded and worked at Mr. Donner’s Bakery. He thought that the people who worked at the bakery were his friends. It is sad that even these people who knew him well, really only liked him because he was good for a laugh and easy to prank.
After the surgery, Charlie’s intelligence began to increase. This was good for him as he felt better about himself and felt smart; especially after beating Algernon in multiple races.
I think that it is unfortunate that Charlie became so intelligent. The experiment would have been better for Charlie if his intelligence only reached that of the average human. Instead, he went from being an outcast because he was mentally retarded to being an outcast because he was too intelligent.
I think that the only good thing about Charlie becoming so intelligent is that he was able to finish his paper on the Algernon-Gordon Effect. He might feel that he really did accomplish something major in his short time of intelligence and will be a part of history.
I think that Charlie shouldn’t have been a part of this experiment as the end results were much worse than his original state. I believe that Miss Kinnian and the professors are partially to blame for this as there hadn’t been enough tests performed and they should have been looking out for Charlie’s well being. It is too bad the experiment hadn’t worked out properly and Charlie could have lived a happy, normal life.
Charlie reconfigures the machines at the bakery to increase productivity, which earns him another raise. Charlie decides to ask Alice out to a movie to celebrate his raise, though he is unsure if such an invitation is appropriate. Charlie overhears Nemur and Strauss arguing about whether to present their preliminary findings at an upcoming convention in Chicago. Charlie befriends some of the college students he meets on campus, and he joyfully discusses Shakespeare with them.

In this progress reportCharlie takes Alice out to the moviesand during their dinner after he admits his love to her. Charlie has also found out about Gimpy stealing from the bakery and is compelled to do something about it and tells Mr.Donner. He feels sad because Mr.Donner has been good to him all these years but also doesn't want Gimpy to lose his job because he has his a family. Another thing Charlie now knows is that he can make his own decisions. Later on Charlie gets fired from the bakery because the employees think hes changed (nobody knows about his operation). I feel sad for Charlie because he is starting to lose his social life with his increased intelligence. Tanner will be doing the next post.
In this progress report Charlie is starting to work the mixture. I think that it was good for Charlie to surprise everyone at the bakery by showing them that he can learn something new. Alice is helping Charlie with his spelling and grammar which really needs work since he can barely even spell a word right. Charlie finally finished his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is about time because he is still learning all the things he needs to know about life and education. Charlie is recovering more memories of his childhood. I think that he should just forget the memories since they are only causing troubles since he wants to know about them and it trying to figure them out. The next person to post is shawny boy.
In Progress Report 8 charlie got out of the hospital and went back to work at the bakery. Dr.Strauss and prof Nemur brought charlie a T.V. to help him learn .

This helps charlie to realize that he is getting smarter and boosts his confidence. Miss kinnian teaches charlie how to spell. justin will do the next progress report.
In this progress report Charlie is scared to go for this operation. I feel bad for him since he doesn't really know what going to happen, or whats happening to him. All he really knows is that he is going to become smart. I also feel that Charlie is not totally understanding what smart is all about. He feels that if your smart you'll have lots of friends, and he will be smart as soon as he walks out of the room. But he soon finds out that's not the case. The next person to write will be Nathan.
The day before the operation. In this progress report Charlie is worried.
