Week Three Comparing
After reading Mice of Men and Flowers for Algernon. I though Flowers for Algernon was better because there was always rising action and everything you read about was interesting. But In Mice of Men I thought the ending was a lot better than Flowers for Algernon. I thought this because towards the end of Mice of Men you never thought that ones best friend would kill another. Also in Flowers of Algernon the end wasn’t a surprise because you already knew that the experiment was going to go bad because Algernon died and he had the same experiment as Charlie. Also there was other ideas of what was going to happen to Charlie because Algernons brain deteriorated and Charlie knew that was going to happen to him so he visited the Warren State home. Also I thought Mice of Mens starting of the book was really boring. I thought the start of Mice of Men was boring because all they did was explain the setting and nothing much really happened. I thought the start of Flowers For Algernon was a lot more intresting because it talk about the operation and it wanted to make you keep on reading. Over all I thought Flowers For Algernon was the best.

I agree with you a hundred percent. Flowers for Algernon had the better storyline and kept my interest throughout the novel more than Of Mice and Men did. The beginning of Of Mice and Men was very boring and I wanted to stop reading right then. Even though the ending of Flowers for Algernon was predictable it was more interesting overall. The only thing that was exciting in Of Mice and Men was the ending after Lennie killed Curley's wife and George ended up shooting him. Also a couple of chapters were just about people talking and nothing was happening. Charlie faced many new challenges and experienced tough situations about his past. After his surgery he wanted to meet his mom and she unexpectedly threatened Charlie. This is just one of the many examples that made Flowers for Algernon a better and more exciting novel. This is how I feel about both books.
