In the short story ¨Flowers for Algernon¨ and the movie ¨Charly¨ both have many differences and similarities. In the book ¨Flowers for Algernon¨ it involved Charly who is mentally ill.

Was it wise for Charlie Gordon from the book “Flowers for Algernon” by daniel keyes to get genetical intelligence surgically implanted in him? I believe that he should have got it regardless of the negative things that happened to him due to the surgery.…
Another difference that I noticed is concerning Curley's wife. In the book there is a scene where Lennie, Candy and Crooks are gathered in Crooks' room. After a while, Curley's wife emerges and the atmosphere becomes unpleasant. Crooks finds the courage to stand up against her, and when he does, she verbally breaks him down. In the movie this scene never takes place, and by eliminating this incident Curley's wife's destructive nature stays unrevealed.…

The first difference that was identified was characters. In the book Curley has blonde hair, but in the movie his hair is a dark brown color. Lennie is also described bigger in the book than what he really is in the movie, the author describes, “Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders….”(Steinbeck 2). The third character was candy. He was larger…
There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

The famous quote, “Where ignorance is bliss, tis’ folly to be wise” comes from Thomas Gray’s poem “Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College”. The meaning of is simply that a person is more comfortable when they do not know something. In the case of Charlie Gordon this is especially true since he knows very little.
