Dylan Coffman Week 4 post
I am comparing the two novels, Of Mice And Men, and Flowers For Algernon. In both of these novels there are some characters that just arent as smart as the average person. Lennie in Of Mice and Men is just slow and in the 1920-30's they didnt really know what this was. When he does things like grab a girls dress this looks like he is trying to rape someone, and these other people dont know how this works exactly. And in Flowers for algernon the main character is slower and he doesn't know that people are making fun of him, when he gets this surgery he is much smarter and he then notices these people he is around daily are actually really mean. These slower characters are picked on and made fun of because they are different intelligence wise. This is wrong and i think they need to be picked on themselves if they get a kick out of picking on slower people.
