Week 4 Post Assignment
Compare the two novels. Which did you like better and why? What does each novel say about intelligence and society's expectations of people? Compare characters portrayed in each? What role do the characters play in conveying the author's message about intelligence?
Dear mrs marble,
I am doing this at the last minute and i am extremely tired and need to quickly do my rough draft after this. on a better note. i like Flowers For Algernon better, because it had a better story line behind it with more description that could allow the reader connect better with the novel. both novels show how intelligence plays a key part in society, as both Charlie and Lennie had a lack of it and for that, they were treated poorly. both Charlie and Lennie show a strong interest in mice and a need for them to keep them as pets. also they both don't understand the world the way, the rest of the people around them do.

I agree with you pat. I like flowers better because of the description and how it is in a more current time period and we could relate to more how they live in Flowers than Lennie and George. Also I agree how these books show how dependent people with disabilities can be and how they share interests in objects like the mice for an example.
