The Bible says that the Devil entered into a serpent and tempted Eve (Genesis 3:1). He got Eve to doubt God’s Word. Satan told her that God knew that Eve would become enlightened and possess the same knowledge as God had if she ate from the fruit of the tree. This is much like Satan’s temptation to man today—that he does not need God.

The fruit was beautiful and Satan was cunning. Eve fell to the temptation and took the fruit from the forbidden tree. Finding it delicious she took it to Adam. Adam also ate from it. At the time he ate their lives, and that of all future humanity, changed. They immediately knew they had done wrong. They disobeyed God and would be punished.

How can/is this story connected to Flowers for Algernon and the relationship between what is man's doing and what God/the universe intends?

In Flowers for Algernon, we see Algernon, the titular character undergo an operation that will triple his intelligence. The mouse however, is one of millions of lab rats who are used in testing every year. Should Animals be used in testing for science and cosmetics? Watch the two videos below, then share your opinion.

Charlie's decision was like Adam and Eve because they were tempted to gain knowledge and Charlie wasn't tempted because he wanted this decision ever since his mom left him.But after he gained knowledge he now realized that what he did was wrong just like how Adam and Eve betrayed God.

# data[].attributes.body
Charlies choice was like Adams choice because he saw that everyone else was smart and he wanted to be smart too. In these stories, the characters both realize what the did was wrong.  All charlie wanted was to be smart to make his mom proud and all Adam and eve wanted was to be smart as god.

# data[].attributes.body
The author chooses that title because its symbolizes that even though the operation worked it still had side effects which caused Algernon to die.

# data[].attributes.body
So the theme of the episode differs from the theme of the story because the theme of the episode was dealing with acceptance and loving yourself. And the theme of the text was like don't change yourself because of what others want you to be, do what ever keeps you happy. So thats how the two things differ.

# data[].attributes.body
This is like Charlie because Charlie risked the danger at the end to get knowledge but he didn't know. Just like Eve she didn't know she would get punished so she did it to learn that afterward she would get punished.

# data[].attributes.body
This is like flowers for Algernon because Charlie did the operation because he thought it was a good thing. Just like how Eve listened to Satan and at the fruit from the forbidden tree. Then Charlie seen the consequences of doing the operation which is dying and Eve seen her consequences when she knew she was going to be punished by god.

# data[].attributes.body
it differs from the story because patrick goes back to his old self for friendship and charlie goes back to his old self because his brain was getting worse

# data[].attributes.body
Flowers for Algernon is connected to this story because Dr. Strauss kept telling Charlie everything would be alright even though he knew something was gonna go wrong. This is similar to what Satan did because he knew something would go wrong if Adam and Eve bit the apple.

# data[].attributes.body
The author chose to name it flowers for Algernon because the flowers symbolizes the after math of the operation. It also symbolizes the fate that Charlie will have to face because of the experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
Adam, Eve, and Charlie all relate in a way. Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil to bite to the apple and Charlie was tempted by his mother to get surgery. They also all wanted to be smart.

# data[].attributes.body
The author chose this name because it symbolizes the choice of others. Algernon never chose to be smart and he wouldn't of died because of the operation.Once Algernon died Charlie chose to give flowers to his grave because it wasn't the mouse's fault he died.

# data[].attributes.body
This story is like Flowers For Algernon because Charlie was tempted by Dr. Strauss and the others. He listened to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is different because Charlie couldn´t accept himself as mentally disabled he just wanted to be smart. He couldn´t love himself for who he was and his mom didn´t like him either because her kid
wasn´t normal.

# data[].attributes.body
In both stories the main character does something without knowing the outcome of the solution to what problem they had

# data[].attributes.body
It differs from it because Charlie didn't have the entire top of his head removed.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that because charlie saw what happend to algeron and how he died after getting stupied so charlie

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author chose the title to be ¨ flowers for Algernon" because charlie grew a very deep relationship with him. Since Algernon is important to charlie and also had to go through the same process, and it would make since to make this the title after the devastating ending.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author chose the title Flowers for Algernon because he knew that Algernon would die. The title symbolizes Algernon's death.

# data[].attributes.body
It's different because Patrick deals with low self esteem. Although Charlie deals with some type of low self esteem he does something to make the world better when he gets "smart". Also Charlie likes the way he used to act because he was innocent. He knows that he wasn't a incident.

# data[].attributes.body
Charlie cared for Algernon. And at the end of the story, Charlie wanted to make sure flowers were on his grave. Charlie paid respect. he didn't see Algernon as just a mouse. This symbolizes that Charlie cared.

# data[].attributes.body
this is like flowers fro Algernon because charlie made the decision to do the operation and as gods choice charlie found out the reason why Algernon died and he would soon die to.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the episode differs from the story because the theme for the episode acceptance and loving yourself. But in the story Charlie didn't like like his mentally disabled self so unlike Patrick he wanted to change into a smarter person but Patrick wanted to be himself.

# data[].attributes.body
The stories are different, because Charlie doesn't want to accept being mentally ill like Patrick. His mom didn't even want to accept him for being dumb. Patrick loved the fact that he was himself.

# data[].attributes.body
They are all alike  because they were all tempted to do something another person told them to do

# data[].attributes.body
the title shows that maybe somthing bad will happen but then you see how well there doing and you stop thinking that they will die even after charlie learned they would be stupied again you sill think they will survive

# data[].attributes.body
Animals shouldn't be tested on because just like humans, they have lives too. Eventually, they're going to run out of animals and species will start to become endangered, or even extinct.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because rats have different genes than us because somethings that are tested dont work on us but work on them.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the story Algernon died. Charlie cared for him so much that he wanted people to put flowers in on Algernon's grave. That symbolizes that Charlie respected and cared for Algernon.

# data[].attributes.body
.This story is like flowers for algonon because of symbolism. The knowledge that charlie has sybomies the apple that Eve and Adam take a bite out of because a little bit after they do they get punished.

# data[].attributes.body
In Flowers for Algernon Charlie learned to live with his low intelligence, just like Patrick did and still do. But when they got smarter they pushed some people away, then they realize that those people were they're friends and then they want to go back to being they're old self.

# data[].attributes.body
Flowers for Algernon is similar to this because the Doctors tried to undo God's doing by trying to make Charlie smart which was not Gods plane for him

# data[].attributes.body
I think he named it this way because at the end of the story, he wrote in the letter to leave flowers for Algernon in his grave any time they came by.

# data[].attributes.body
They chose to call it flowers for algernon because charlie had cared so deeply for algernon that after he died charlie asked for somebody to put flowers on his grave everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if we want to find out something that affiliates with humans developing, we should test it out on ourselves, because on the WatchMojo video, they find out that rats and human have different genes so they are not benifitting

# data[].attributes.body
Even though animals are tested for things I use everyday they shouldn't be tested at all because they don't deserve the pain.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I think we shouldn't test on animals. What happens when all the animals go instinct? We are eventually gonna die because we need those animals so if we are gonna test on animals then let it at least be harmless.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
See all the wonderful things Lattiaunna Wilson has made

# data[].attributes.body
The reason the athour put this as a tittle is because without algernon charlie would never have figured out that he was going to die. SInce charlie was so attached to the mouse when he did die he put flowers on his grave every day wich was a why they put the tittle as so.

# data[].attributes.body
Animals shouldn't be tested on because humans don't have the same genes as animals and eventually they can go extinct.

# data[].attributes.body
I say no animals shouldn't be use to be tested on things, because like even though they are being tested for us humans benefit , they have lives of their own to . Like people have to understand they were put on earth for a reason and being tested for humans benefit is not one of their reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of both stories differs because Patrick gave up himself for friendship and for Charlie he really just did it for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes animals should be used as test subjects to know if something is safe because we won't know unless we test it on something

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the author chose this name for the story because charlie wanted to keep flowers on Algernon's grave after he died. I think this symbolizes the friendship they had after having the same procedure because he knew this would happen to him soon

# data[].attributes.body
every rat should die!

# data[].attributes.body
Flowers for Algernon is somewhat similar to the Garden of Eden, because Adam was naive and did not know that the apple would punish him, and Algernon did not care what he did, he just wanted to be smart.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the episode and the theme of the storie differ because the theme of the episode is that you should love yourself and acceptance. The theme of the storie is to never do something just to impress someone and might risk you getting hurt mentally of physically.

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes,I think that we should use animals for testing because they can help the doctor understand the sickness and apply it to humans.

Flowers for Algernon

# data[].attributes.body
Spongebob talks about loving and accepting who you are. Flowers for Algernon talks about accepting and learning to be yourself even if others don't accept you.

# data[].attributes.body
Flowers for Algernon was connected to this because they both were tempted to do it, and ended up getting punished for it

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that they should use animals for testing and cosmetics. Because when they use these animals they lose their money because they pay to test the animals out. And they act like they don't even care about what happens to the animal.

# data[].attributes.body
The author may have titled the text Flowers for Algernon because like Algernon was like Charlies friend and they were just alike even though one was human and one was animal but they had the same operation proformed on both of them and it gave them both intelligence. And since algernon died at the end and since they were alike Charlie knew the same thing would happen to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I say no that animals shouldn't be tested because even though some of the things that are tested on the animals benefit humans it still isn't right because animals have more reasons to live than just being tested for human benefits.

# data[].attributes.body
The themes differ is because in Spongebob, the theme is accepting who you are. It is in Algernon too. But Charlie wants to do it for others too

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the episode differs from the story because Charlie was mad that he chose this decision and that he was being used.Patrick was mad that he's too smart to play with spongebob.

# data[].attributes.body
The title of the story symbolized Algernons's death because Charlie always wanted to leave flowers for him.

# data[].attributes.body
It connects with Flower of Algernon because Charlie changes hisself because of what others thought of him and it really changed him and he was not happy anymore. And he also kind of Risked his life to become something that didn't make him happy

Like the people of the Victorian era (1837-1901), you might be a bit reserved. But your imaginative and thoughtful nature makes you a person people seek out for advice. Youâ€™re in good company: Playwright Oscar Wilde and poet Robert Browning were both popular during this time period. It does reflect me because I am distant from people and thoughtful.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the Renaissance (14th to 17th century). I completely disagree because it called me "dramatic at times".

# data[].attributes.body
I would be better born in the future. I agree with this statement because of my high levels of intelgence and the factors that i love to learn. I want to know everything about everything. Hovever i dont think that testb are always 100% acrute. you should not let a test that you took online define who you are as a person because they dont know you. you should always stay true to yourself no matter who tells you different.

# data[].attributes.body
I got prehistoric era because i love being outdoors and exploring.

# data[].attributes.body
Adam&Eve are connected to Flowers for Algernon because in both situations the characters are doing risky things because they want to be just like everyone/someone else. They both feel as if everyone else has this power why can't they have it too.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the Victorian Era (1837-1901) and it said i'm reserved which I agree with because I just don't tell everyone my business. Also it said that i'm a person that someone comes to fro advice. Which is also true sometimes but not all the time. So I feel that sometimes a personality quiz can be accurate but other times it can be a waste of your time.

# data[].attributes.body
I belong in the future because I don't like it when things go my way but I'll forget about and move forward.I agrreeeeeeeeee

It says I belong in the industrial revolution era. I disagree with this because I am not organized and I don't like to invent things.

to the people who are saying no, how do you suggest that we actually do testing for products
?

I got prehistoric era because I am a "great leader" and tries to help everyone pitch in.

I belong in the victorian era. During the victorian era, people where a bit reserved but imaginative and had a thoughtful nature. Im not really sure how i can relate to this era because im not that type of person that tries to hide there emotions .

I got the Victorian Era. Ye s, I feel like it matches me because all the stuff it said matches me. Sometimes test accurately describe people sometimes it don't it all just depends.

Your ability to come up with solutions to problems that donâ€™t yet exist might mean youâ€™re a born inventor. The Industrial Revolution (18th to 19th century) was full of problem-solvers like you. A logical thinker, you like to be organized but don't get discouraged when things don't go right the first time. No i feel like they don't because i'm not the type of person to invent anything or solve problem s that don't exists. And no personility tests doesn't accurately describe people and their personility.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author chose this title because to me it gives a message that no matter how your life changes for the worst or for the best you should always remember the ones who stuck by your side and was always by your side when your own "friends" leave you. Even though Algernon was a pet he was the only one who truly loved Charlie.

No i do not think that animals should be tested for cosmetics because animals can get hurt. Would you like to be using makeup just to make animals suffer?

I think animals should be used in labs because they can easily be reproduced plus one day we can have a breakthrough for new life.
