What Is The Cost Of Charlie's Experiment
Thesis: There are more costs as a result of Charlie's experiment
It is clear that there are more cost that weighs out the benefits of Charlie’s experiment.
To start with, everyone needs to have a friend to make life more enjoyful and to share their important parts of their lives. But, after the surgery people would look at Charlie as if he wasn’t human at all. He had no one to share his experience being smart. In the story it said,“All the rest demanded that I be fired. Joe Carp and Frank Reilly wouldn’t talk to me about. No one else would either, except Fanny.” (Keyes,234).Without any of his friends being around him, Charlie felt very lonely and depressed. People would avoid and look at him differently. It just goes for show that people fear the unknown. He thought everything would be better since he would be smarter. This costed him his friendship with everyone.

In the story it said, “Algernon died two days ago. Dissection shows my predictions were right. His brain had decreased in weight, and there was a general smoothing out cerebral convolutions as well as a deepening and broadening of brain fissures. I guess the same thing is or will soon be happening to me.” (Keyes, 239). Charlie practically didn’t know anything about the experiment. He was still mentally challenged at that time and maybe that judged his judgement. Something could have gone horribly wrong and would mess up Charlie. If Charlie wanted to be smart then he should work and earn being smart. This could cost Charlie’s

    The doctors had to make a big decision, if they did not give Charlie the surgery then he would probably never be smart. On the other hand if they did give him the surgery then he would be smart, but then eventually he would turn back to dumb. The surgery that the doctors gave Charlie should be given to other people around the world. The question people should ask them self's is "do I want to smart for a little bit, or never be smart at all." That’s the question Charlie had to ask himself. Even Charlie said “I don’t know what’s worse to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you’ve always wanted to be, and feel alone.” He means that no matter what he did to himself people would never like…

    The first reason why I believe That charlie should have had the operation is that while he was a genius he discovered thing about what was happening to him and he called it the “Algernon-Gordon Effect” (keyes, 80). He also found out how the artificial intelligence works and how it wears off…

    First of all, Charlie's doctors did not let Charlie know the risks for performing the surgery on him. They simply tested him and Ms.Kinnian persuaded the doctor's to go and use Charlie as their test subject. The doctors had tested…

    Charlie was forced to make an unfair decision. With an IQ of only sixty-eight Charlie could not have understood the good and bad sides of the operation. All Charlie knew was that he wanted to be smart and this operation could get him his greatest desire in one easy procedure. Because Charlie was mentally challenged, Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur did not take into consideration that it could hurt Charlie badly in the long run, and they did not make sure he thoroughly understood the consequences and side effects that would follow. There was nothing to let Charlie understand the huge amount of knowledge he would gain and how it would change his life forever. He did not want to be a genius; he did not want to know about "the mathematical variance equivalent in Dorbermanns Fifth Concert". Charlie thought Miss Kinnian was a genius just because she could give him reasons for things like punctuation; he didn't have to become any smarter than that to be happy, not even close. Charlie was convinced that once he had the operation that he'd be like everyone else and people would like him. The doctors did not take that into consideration or explain to him that the operation would not result in more people liking him and he would not be everyone else, he would be completely different from the rest of the world.…

    Charlie had the operation to help him become smarter, but the consequences were risky and changed his life. He thought that if he was smarter he would be able to understand more about things, but a couple of months later he started to lose that knowledge, stating that “[He’ve] got to try and hold on to some of it...the things [He’ve] learned...please don’t take it all away.” (Keyes, 80) He was worried about losing everything he knew and cared about. He had to give up many things, such as typing. He stated that “[He’ve] given up using the typewriter..my coordination is bad....[He’s] moving…

    After the surgery, Charlie realized that Joe, Frank, and his other co-workers were mocking, berating, and belittling him. When he was still impaired, he thought everybody was laughing with him; not laughing at him. He had been offended by this act; people would mock him and belittle him. By the end of that all, Charlie finally had realized what it meant to “pull a Charlie Gordon.” The surgery made Charlie realize that his ostensible “friends” were not actually his friends.…

    One common argument some readers have throughout is that by having the surgery, Charlie had seen that the world could be very cruel in many ways, but I oppose this stating that even though he has faced many cruel times he has mostly had many beneficial times because of it. For instance, by having the surgery, Charlie was able to make more friends that were much more understanding of him and that didn’t bully him like his previous “friends” Joe and Frank. So as with that, others still oppose and say that he was better off without the surgery because with having the surgery when the effects of it wore off his I.Q. would be decreased less than what his original I.Q. was before the surgery. As that may be true while he had the effects of the surgery he was able to use it to his advantage by making a contribution to science by discovering the Algernon-Gordon effect which would be able to help future researchers on the topic of artificial intelligence and the human…

    The operation enabled Charlie to realize, recognize the atrocious treatment he had been receiving from society. He became conscious to the fact that Joe and Frank were not his friends, rather; they treated him as a child, incapable of defending himself. In fact, they used a phrase as a way to mock Charlie’s behavior. Soon Charlie learned that the phrase, “pull a Charlie…

    Charlie Gordon wishes he had friends all throughout the text, but when he has friends they do not act like friends to him. To begin with, while he has his fake friends they are always laughing at him in a mean way but Charlie does not know. For example, Charlie has bandages from his operation and “Frank Reilly said what did you do Charlie forget your key and open your door the hard way. That made me laff. Their really my friends and they like me.” Charlie wishes he had real friends and thinks he does but they always laugh at him. Along with them always laughing at Charlie, they beat him up but he does not know that they did. According to the text, Charlie thinks he…

    He lost his job, he realized how dumb he was before, and he severed good relationships (not to mention it wore off, possibly leaving him dead too). In the story it said, “Algernon died 2 days ago.” This quote is strongly hinting that Charlie will probably die too, because Charlie and Algernon underwent the same experimental operation to synthetically enhance intelligence by almost 3 times the patient’s original IQ. Obviously, dying doesn’t do much good to a person’s life. Some people could say “it gave Charlie a glimpse of what normal people see!” but what good is a glimpse when you can’t even comprehend what you experienced a few weeks ago?…

    After the operation, Charlie became less oblivious; he realized that not everything is what he thinks. Page 14, paragraph 130 states, "It was as if he'd hidden this part of himself in order to decieve me, pretending-as do many people I've discovered-to be what he is not. " This shows that Charlie now understands that not everybody is good and people will pretend to be someone they're not to benefit themselves. However, a con of the operation is that Charlie is no longer able to communicate with others.…

    The surgical operation was shown to be successful for a length of time but after so long things changed for the worst. Charlie knew this was going to happen after seeing the same thing happen to Algernon, the rat, who has had the same surgery done on him. Charlie started to regress back into his first state of mind. His intelligence starts to decline, his writing goes back to how it was, and his thinking process was back to how it was. Even with him noticing he was regressing he was grateful for the things he got a chance to understand and still was determined to work harder. “Im glad I got a second chanse in life like you said to be smart because I lerned a lot of things that I never even new were in this werld and im grateful I saw it all even for a littel bit”…

    Due to his disability, he was completely unaware that his “friends” were bulling him. After Charlie got the surgery he became aware that his “friends” weren't friends. “It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the other liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me”(Keyes 231). This shows that Charlie now knows that his “friends” were bulling him. As a result not only was he no longer bullied but, he gained new true friends.…
