week #4 :) amanda b
Compairing Flowers for Algernon and Of Mice and Men are easy. They both were okay books to read. they both had to do with a mentlely challenged person. They both had girls that were portrayed as not good ladys. They both had an unusual plot. They both made me feel different about each character. I felt bad for charlie but i am up set about Lennie because he kills things; well even though he doesnt mean to... Also In the Flowers of Algernon, Charlie was connected with a mouse, and in Of Mice Of Men Lennie also was connected with a mouse but it was a dead mouse.. Charlie was friends and kind of competed against the mouse named Algernon and Lennie just likes to pet soft things and mice are soft to him and his Aunt Cleara used to give them to him but he kept killing them so she stoped. Also they both have a mouse (type of thing ) in the titles. Algernon is a mouse and in the other book the mice part. These books are very much similar in many ways. I m sure i could come up with alot more. They were both good books to read in school.

I would have to disagree with you because Of Mice and Men was not that interesting to me and it was boring with all of the dialogue; it seemed to never end. Flowers for Algernon, on the other hand, was a lot better because it had more information about Charlie and you could really feel what Charlie would be feeling at that exact place you were reading. I agree with what you were saying about the two books being similar like the woman in the books, but to me I thought the woman in Flowers for Algernon were a lot nicer and I found them more interesting than Curley’s wife in Of Mice and Men. The one and only thing I agree with you about is the fact they are both good books to read in high school because it lets teenagers know, mentally handicapped people should be treated the same because they are human just like you and me.
