Section 1

This book was challenged for profanity and sexual content. Do you feel that these things are appropriate to the story? Would the story be the same without them? The small sex scene is a monumental moment in Charlie’s life, isnt’ it?

Section 2
Charlie was rehired at the bakery after his regression, and worked there successfully for many years before his surgery. What does his firing and subsequent rehiring tell you about the perceived threat from knowledge and intelligence? How does the evolved Charlie’s treatment by his peers relate to the treatment accorded very bright students and those seen as “nerds” in schools and communities today?

Section 3
Flowers for Algernon was written shortly after Ralph Ellison published The Invisible Man. The main character in Ellison’s book, a nameless black man in search of an identity, was in-visible due to his race. Charlie Gordon was invisible to main-stream society due to his mental handicap. Compare the two men’s place in society at a time when both men struggled with inequalities and misperceptions.

Section 4
Discuss the moral implications of Dr. Nemur’s experimental surgery. What are the competing motivations behind Nemur’s desire to perform, and Charlie’s agreement to undergo, the operation?

Section 5
How about the style of writing? While reading Flowers, did you find the misspellings and grammatical errors of Charlie’s early progris reports irritating and distracting? Did it get in the way of the story for you? Or did you find the style authentic in a way that enhanced Keyes’s storytelling?
