Charlie Gordon is a man born with an intellectual disability. He goes to nightschool. Charlie takes different tests like the rorschach test. He races against a mouse called Algernon in a maze and loses, but he is offered an opportunity to become smarter. The untested operation is performed, and Charlie becomes unnaturally smart.
Charlie's strange ability deteriorates rapidly, and he tries to figure out why. He comes up with the Algernon Gordon effect, which states the rate rate of intelligence lost is directly related to the rate of intelligence gained. Charlie is left with very little intellectual ability, and leaves New York because of his embarrassment.

The theme I chose for this story was: Even if you are unintelligent it doesn't mean you have no worth.

Example: Charlie is below average in the smarts category, and yet people still care for him.
Ms. Kinnian is charlies SCHOOL teacher, and yet she cares for him.
