Different or not.

So far Flowers for Algernon is a good book, it's not my favorite but it has given me a new outlook on mentally challenged people. I've always tried my best to treat them as normal people but sometimes it can be hard. This book has taught me that challenged people do have hopes and ambitions, they want to be just like us. I believe that a lot of people don't have the patients for them and don't treat them as normal people but they do have feelings too. Just because we think that they don't understand what we say, I think that they know for the most part. They can sense our frusteration or dislike towards them and it probably upsets them. I don't think that they should be treated differently because they are people too and I kow if I was mentally challenged I wouldn't want to be treated differently. I think this book is great to read in high school, because it has helped me to kind of understand what a mentally challenged person thinks like. Many people take for granted that handicapped people don't understand what they are saying to them, or making fun of them depending on their severity. They just say whatever and don't take into consideration their feelings. Everyone in this world deserves to be treated the same, no matter how different they are.
