Prompt: Relationships are important to Charlie in "Flowers for Algernon." Chose ONE relationship in Charlie's life and EXPLAIN how and why the relationship changes after Charlie's operation. Make sure you use ONE piece of cited (quoted) evidence in your response.

Answer 1

Relationships between people are important to maintaining. During one’s lifetime, these relationships will change for the better or worse. In the novel, Flowers for Algernon, the author, Daniel Keyes, presents a change in the main character’s relationship with many people. As Charlie’s intelligence increases, he finds out a lot about himself and becomes a different person. He learns the meaning of love, and experiences this newfound feeling with Alice Kinnian. Charlie’s teacher at Beekman College for Adults, Miss Kinnian, is one of the only people who are concerned and genuinely care about him.
