Socratic Seminar - "Flowers for Algernon" by Anne O'Toole https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw Made with a wish on a star en-us 2017-04-06 15:47:09 UTC 2018-11-07 19:53:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Sarah Tancer - Big Ideas https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165187433 Surgery Date: March 15
Smartest Point: June 4
Regression Started: June 5
Last Date: July 27
It took Charlie 2.5 months to become smart, and 1.5 months to regress.

It is hard to gain something important, but easy to lose.

- The progress reports shows the true effect the surgery has on Charlie and his personality change. We learn from the way he writes and his reaction to events in the story.
- Ms. Kinnian - thought he determined and hardworking,  to proud
- The Doctors - thought Charlie was foolish, to felt guilty
- Charlie's Co Workers - made fun of him and did not like him, to felt bad for him and protected him
- The central conflict is that the surgery may or may not work. It is solved when the surgery fails and Charlie loses his intelligence.
-  The flowers symbolize the part of Charlie that is gone, just like how Algernon is gone.
-  If you had something and you lost it, you will want it back. When Charlie lost his intelligence, he kept the negative feelings he gained from being more intelligent.
- At the end of the story, Charlie said he was grateful for experiencing intelligence]]> 2017-04-06 16:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165187433 Evidence https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165187547 He changed from the beginning to the middle to the end.
We learned about Charlie from his writing.
Jon and Frank changed from being rude to Charlie to being nice and kind to him at the end.
the central conflict is that he is getting surgery to become smarter.
He got the surgery on March 15.
He got the smartest June 4.
About 2 half month of progressively getting smarter.
He start regressing June 5.
He stopped being intelligent July 25.
It took him longer to get smarter and took less time for him to be dumb again.
The author is saying that it harder to gain something but it is easier to lose it.
Robinson Crusoe was a symbol of what Charlie will become.
The dishwasher was a symbol of what Charlie was.
He said in a progress report that he would not suggest this to anyone because after the surgery the person will be sad.

You can also see how his intelligence gets better by the way he writes. The story would be different in third person because you wouldn't get to know Charlie by how he writes and talks.

Ms. Kinnian never changed her opinion of Charlie and always thought he was motivated. In the end, she pitied Charlie and was worried about him. 
Joe and Frank had made fun of him in the beginning, but when Charlie lost his intelligence, and other people made fun of him, they felt they had to protect him.]]> 2017-04-06 16:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165190073 Questions... https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165190262 What were Charlie's thoughts about the dishwasher???]]> 2017-04-06 16:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165190262 Questions... https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165191062 How do Charlie's friends impact the story?]]> 2017-04-06 16:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165191062 Questions... https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165191425 what is the central conflict of the story??]]> 2017-04-06 16:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165191425 https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165191806 The central conflict was getting the surgery and whether it may or may not work.

The author did this intentionally because he wanted to show that it is harder to get something you want but it is much easier to lose it.]]> 2017-04-06 16:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165193866 Questions... https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165193957 How long does it take him to get smart??]]> 2017-04-06 16:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165193957 Questions... https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165194417 How does the story Charlie read relate to charlie?]]> 2017-04-06 16:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165194417 https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165194946 Symbols impacted the way we understand the story.

It is very cruel.]]> 2017-04-06 16:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165195915 https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165197147 Charlie doesn't regret his decision and is grateful that he had an opportunity he could experience what he really wanted, even if it was just for a little bit. 
The author is telling us that you should always be happy for what you have. The story leaves on a hopeful note for what will be coming next for Charlie.]]> 2017-04-06 16:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/165197147 Scoakjcb https://padlet.com/aotoole1/k7rybn1zpvkw/wish/301760666 Kdgeghrwodfldf
