What Is The Purpose Of Flowers For Algernon

Flowers for Algernon is narrated by Charlie Gordon who is not smart as other people, but later he has an operation and becomes intelligent. In the beginning of the book, Charlie’s words are written as if a child wrote the book and progressed later. However, Charlie is 32 years old and still goes to school just for retarded adults. He isn’t a know-it-all but, he really tries to know more than people his age.
