ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes tells the story of Charlie Gordon, a man with an intellectual disability who undergoes an experimental procedure to increase his intelligence. The narrative, presented through Charlie's progress reports, details his initial struggles with basic reading and writing, and his deep desire to become smart. As his intelligence grows, he experiences new emotions, understands complex concepts, and gains access to his past, which is both liberating and confusing for him. The book explores themes of intelligence, emotional maturity, and the ethical implications of scientific experimentation. It examines the social challenges faced by those with disabilities, and the importance of human connection and empathy.
