Flowers for Algernon
Wish You Were Here – Avril Lavigne
The song I Wish You Were Here represents how Charlie misses his best friend Algernon. It was really difficult for Charlie to know that his friend died. Algernon was the only loyal friend that Charlie had, and it was the only one who understood him. They both went through the same process, and the same operation to become smarter. It was difficult for Charlie because he knew that if Algernon died maybe he could die too. We will place this song in the part were Charlie began to work on his project “The Algernon-Gordon Effect”.
Lucky – Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
Charlie’s best friend was Alice; she was always there for him, even when his IQ wasn’t increase yet. Alice believes they couldn’t be together because of his condition but they still could be friends. This song is appropriate because it shows how Charlie is in love with his best friend “lucky I’m in love with my best friend”, and he is really happy that she is always by his side. We will place this song when Charlie and Alice went on their first date, when Charlie said "I told you I liked you. I should have trusted myself to say I love you.”
I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz
This song represents that even thought Charlie can’t be with Alice because that is what she thinks is best for him. Charlie really loves her so he tried many times to be with her, no matter what people say, like in this quote "My feeling for you won't change because I'm becoming intelligent. I'll only love you more”. The name of this song explains everything, which is that Charlie won’t give up trying to be in a relationship with Alice. The lines “I'm giving you all my love” in the song represent Charlie situation with Alice. We will place this song in the part were Alice said to Charlie that is better to stay just friends because he may be “confused”.
Who’s Laughing Now – Jessie J
This song shows how everyone used to laugh about Charlie before the operation. The
