of mice and men vs flowers

I enjoyed Flowers for Algernon more than of mice and men. I feel like a flower for Algernon had a better story line and was told a lot better than of mice and me. Plus even tho it still had a sad ending it was better than over all ending. Society always puts a high standard on intelligence and it is a very prominent theme in both books but in flowers for Algernon it showed that some people in society don’t care about intelligence, only about your self at the level you are at. In of mice and men Lennie was portrayed as a very dim witted man that cant do anything for himself, but in flowers for Algernon he made the change because he had the drive to change. In of mice and men they convey a kind of sad out look on the mentally handicapped. That they are for the most part unable to keep themselves out of trouble and can not function in normal society. In flowers for Algernon they show a very different side of mentally handicapped people. Showing that they are capable of working in a plaice like a bakery and that they are real people too. Even tho most people don’t treat them as so
