Final indy blog post for my second indy reading book "Flowers for Algernon"

Comment on the perspective from which the book is told and how the
author’s choice affects your relationship with the book’s content.

Well the book entirely is told from the perspective of Charlie Gordon. Hes the protagonist and main character,but its not told in first person way like most books but in charlies "PROGIRS REPORITS." Yes that is the correct spelling in the book. These "PROGIRS REPORITS" are journal entries that Charlie has to doc for all the scientist as he goes through his operation to raise his IQ.I found this approach to tell the book very refreshing and different.One "PROGIRS REPORITS" reads "...all my life I wantid to be smart and not dumb and my mom always tolld me to try and lern just like Miss Kinnian tells me but its very hard to be smart and even when I lern something in Miss Kinnians class at the school I ferget alot." The reports are vital to the story because they define Charlies character, It shows how he misspells words how he feels about intelligence in general and what he thinks about himself. Without these reports we don't see the world through Charlies eyes and this is what the story is really about. Its not a story about intelligence or science experiments it may have some aspects of that but in its core its about a mans struggle with these aspects,and life's aspect in general,love,family,identity,acceptance,friendship.I found the context of the book to be a lot more personal since it was written from one mans perspective and in a form of a dairy type thing so reading every endeavor he talked about I felt it to. This book is very depressing since in the end Charlie doesn't get what he wants he doesn't remain smart he is left alone and goes away to a home. So I think the author use this way of telling the story so the reader could get emotionally connected with the story I know I did.
