...“Miss Kinnian says maybe they can make me smart. I want to be smart.” (Keyes, 53) Is what Charlie Gordon tells the readers as he is writing in his progress report. In the story “Flowers For Algernon,” written by Daniel Keyes, Charlie Gordon has an IQ of 68. He doesn’t spell very well and really tries as hard as he can to fix that. There is an operation that helps him and triples his IQ, but there are many side effects. He will eventually die of brain deterioration which ultimately makes him end up moving away so that his teacher, Miss Kinnian, and the doctors don’t feel sad. I really do not think Charlie should have gotten the operation. First and foremost, he will eventually die of brain deterioration. After Charlie triples his IQ, he starts some more research about his operation and the mouse they did it on first, Algernon. After a while, Algernon dies. Charlie gets a little suspicious and does an autopsy. He finds out that he died because of the operation and he lost a lot of brain mass. “Dissection shows that my predictions were right. His brain had decreased in weight and there was a general smoothing out of cerebral convolutions as well as deepening and broadening or brain fissures. I guess the same thing is or will soon be happening to me.” (Keyes, 80) He is realizing that his brain is doing the same thing....

"YOU'LL have to go to school, Elizabeth!" said Mrs. Allen. "I think your governess is quite right. You are spoilt and naughty, and although Daddy and 1 were going to leave you here with Miss Scott, when we went away, I think it would be better for you to go to school." Elizabeth stared at her mother in dismay. What, leave her home? And her pony and her dog? Go and be with a lot of children she would hate! Oh no, she wouldn't go! "I'll be good with Miss Scott," she said. "You've said that before," said her mother, "Miss Scott says she can't stay with you any longer. Elizabeth, is it true that you put earwigs in her bed last night?" Elizabeth giggled. "Yes," she said. "Miss Scott is so frightened of them! It's silly to be afraid of earwigs, isn't it?" "It is much sillier to put them into somebody's bed," said Mrs. Allen sternly. "You have been spoilt, and you think you can do what you like! You are an only child, and we love you so much, Daddy and I, that I think we have given you too many lovely things, and allowed you too much freedom." "Mummy, if you send me to school, I shall be so naughty there that they'll send me back home again," said Elizabeth, shaking her curls back. She was a pretty girt with laughing blue eyes and dark brown curls. All her life she had done as she liked. Six governesses had come...

...She encountered Miss Caroline who believed Maycomb county was sort of a uneducated town. So when Scout showed her ability to read it shocked Miss Caroline greatly. Miss Caroline then proceeded to be strict on Scout in defense for her being wrong about Maycomb. Scout didn’t understand why Miss Caroline was so mean to her and Atticus had to explain things in a neutral perspective to get Scout to understand what was going on. ¨..she said you taught me to read all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more, ever. Please don’t send me back, please sir¨(39). ¨..but if Walter and I had put ourselves in her shoes we’d have seen it was an honest mistake on her part. We could not expect her to learn all Maycomb’s ways in one day, and we could not hold her responsible when she knew no better¨(40). In the beginning Scout thought Miss Caroline was singling her out since she could read. Now, Scout realizes that Miss Caroline only reacted the way she did because Scout proved her wrong. Miss Caroline didn’t want people to know she was wrong so she became this nasty teacher to mask her deception. Atticus helped Scout unlock one of the most necessary skills when dealing with society and it allowed her to stay open-minded through her...

...said Roger, carrying a suitcase and bag down to the front door. “Diana, bring that pile of books, will you, before we forget them?” Diana picked them up and ran down the stairs after Roger. At the front door stood a caravan. Diana stood and gloated over it for about the twentieth time. “Fancy Dad buying a caravan!” she said. “And oh, what a pity he can’t come with us after all!” “Yes - after all our plans!” said Roger. “Still, it’s a jolly good thing Mummy didn’t back out, when she heard Dad had to go off to America - I was awfully afraid she would! My heart went into my boots, I can tell you.” “Same here,” said Diana, stacking the books neatly on a shelf in the caravan. “Have we got our bird-book - we’ll see plenty of birds on our travels, and that’s my holiday task - writing an essay on ‘Birds I have seen’.” “Well, don’t forget to take the field-glasses then,” said Roger. “They’re hanging in the hall. I say - what did you think about Mummy asking Miss Pepper to come with us, now that Daddy can’t manage?” Miss Pepper was a very old friend of their mother’s. The children were fond of her - but Roger felt rather doubtful about having her on a caravan holiday with them. “You see - she’s all right in a house,” he said to Diana. “But in a small caravan, with hardly any room - won’t she get fussed? We shall be so much on top of one another.” “Oh well - Mummy must have someone to take turns at driving the car that pulls the caravan,” said Diana. “And she’ll be company...

...There are two reasons why I wake up in the morning: my alarm clock and you. Great minds contain ideas, solutions and reasons; scientific minds contain formulas, theories and figures; my mind contains only you! Love can be expressed in many ways. One way I know is to send it across the distance to the person who is reading this. If I could change the alphabet, I would put U and I together! Minsan caring is better than loving. Minsan tea is better than coffee. Minsan smile is better than laughter. Pero nobody is better than you. There is night so we can appreciate day, sorrow so we can appreciate joy, evil so we can appreciate good, you so I can appreciate love. You look great today. How did I know? Because you look great everyday. What is love? Those who don't like it call it responsibility. Those who play with it call it a game. Those who don't have it call it a dream. Those who understand it call it destiny. And me, I call it you. What is love? It is what makes your cell phone ring every time I send text messages. If love can be avoided by simply closing our eyes, then I wouldn't blink at all for I don't want to let a second pass having fallen out of love with you. I used to think that dreams do not come true, but this quickly changed the moment I laid my eyes on you. Press down if you miss me. Talaga? Sweet mo naman. You really miss me huh? Still pressing down. Impressed na ako, ha? Sobrang miss na yan. Well, I miss you too. Some people...

To begin at the beginning, I must go back to the middle days of October, after the misfortune that occurred. It was growing colder when I left the woods behind the Spence Academy for Young Ladies. I'd received a letter by falcon from the Rakshana. My presence was required immediately in London. I was to keep off the main roads and be certain I was not followed. For several miles, I traveled under cover of the Gypsy caravan. The rest of the way I made on foot, alone, shielded by trees or the broad cape of night. The second night, exhausted by my travels, half dead with cold and hunger—for I had finished my meager portion of meat two days prior—my mind made strange by isolation, the woods began to play tricks on me. In my weakened state, every...

...that does something because it’s just the right thing to do. Who determines who a hero is? Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Tall or short, skinny or fat, and even black or white. In the novel A Lesson Before Dying, the hero of the story cannot fly, he does not have the most strength or courage and he hasn’t saved any lives, much less a whole city. The hero in this story is a black man - charged for murder. Throughout A Lesson Before Dying Jefferson, an uneducated black man, is found guilty of murder for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A white man died, so the logical reasoning during the 1940’s must be that a black man is guilty. From the moment Jefferson’s defense attorney stated, “‘Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this’,” Jefferson and the majority of all the white men living in the Bayonne, Louisiana believed Jefferson was a hog who was going to die in the chair (Gaines 8). While Jefferson is sitting on death row, Grant Wiggins is sent by Jefferson’s godmother, Miss Emma, to make Jefferson walk to “the chair” as a man - not a hog. During the first few visits by Grant to Jefferson, the responses and actions Jefferson says and does are not very hopeful. Although, in time Jefferson will undergo a transformation. A transformation that started with Jefferson on his knees with his head inside a bag of food eating and stating numerous comments such as, “Hogs don’t give nothing. Hogs don’t leave nothing” (Gaines 83, 139). Jefferson’s transformation...

...aging a. Do you think you are getting old? Ans: At 68 years, I am getting old. But I don’t think I am really old. Look at me, I can still do things for myself, if I am given the chance. But they don’t allow me because they think I am old. b. What age do you think you will consider yourself as being old? Ans: (She smiled and looked at researcher calmly) I don’t know what age I think I will consider myself old. But when I feel it, I will know. May be I will say when I am 80 years old or more, then I will take myself to be old. Age is in the heart. c. What make(s) you feel you are getting old? Ans: What makes me feel I am getting old? (She paused for a while). I think when I can no longer feel anything or see the need to live again. I think I will say when I can’t do anything for myself, like clean my own back, then, I am really getting old. Until then, I am not that old. d. How do you feel when you are treated as being old? Ans: I don’t like to be treated as being old. I am not an old woman. When these children try to make feel like one, I tell them I am still current. (Touching her hair) She said, I still make my hair. I like to look good. So when I get treated like an old woman, I don’t like it. But they all treat me like one. My children feel that I am old and need to be here, in a nursing home. It is only one or two of the staff here who treat me the way I want. Others think and act as if I am old. No way. I am not old. 3. Aging experiences a. Do you...

...I thought things would have been better between us as friends by now, but they haven't. I still wanted to wish you a happy birthday though and let you know I think about you often, especially since there really was no closure to our friendship. I miss you greatly and pray every night about and have faith that one day will be able to talk and laugh like we use to. I hope the same for greg and Martha since I can tell greg really misses her. As much as I miss you, I know for some reason the two of you have decided not to talk to us, I don't completely know why other than you say you were hurt and I just hope you both can find it in your heart to forgive us, and maybe also to forgive Chris. He's been really good for greg even though I don't really ever talk to him myself, but knowing that greg is happy makes me happy. As happy as you probably are as a nun greg is that happy with Chris. I think what hurt me the most was finding out about you becoming a nun from Martha instead of hearing it directly from you. I feel like you didn't trust me anymore especially on the day that you took your vows. I had no clue what was happening until 20 minutes before it actually happened. When you and Martha first came over and she was the one to tell me you were going to become a nun she said it would take a while and go in steps so I thought you were just going to be opening the order when I came. I didn't know you were going to become a full nun and it was Martha telling me. I wanted...
