Tone
Charlie has lots of mixed
emotions and tones in this
chapter. Charlie deals with
everything from falling in love to
finding out the true personality of human nature.
Example: Charlie is deeply in love
with Miss Kinian and is also finding
that his so called “friends” are talking about him.

to express his frustration towards
the man giving him the Rorschach
test or “ink block test”Example: “Alright Charlie you’ve
seen these before remember. “Of
course I remember, Charlie said.

Charlie is learning at an
increasingly fast pace. He is now
taking his ability to learn and
want to know more to a new high.Example: Charlie is reading the
dictionary to brighten his
horizons and learn more about
this “new world” he see’s.
Charlie used to view Ms. Kinnian as his teacher and mentor.
Now Charlie is starting to catch feelings for her that he never knew existed.

Co-Workers
Charlie “friends” always take him to the club
Charlie “friends” set him up to dance with Ellen
They get Charlie drunk and ditch him
While they’re dancing his “friends” keep tripping him
“I feel ashamed” -Charlie
Dr. Nemur gives Charlie a TV to sleep with at night to strengthen his subconscious
Dr. Strauss on the other hand could care less about Charlie I actually think he’s jealous of the fact that Charlie might have the potential to know as much as him if not more
Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss
When the policeman brings Charlie home drunk from the club Ms. Flynn takes him to his room and makes sure he’s safe.

VS.Charlie Vs. Society
INSECURITY
Charlie is now feeling insecure because he now knows that people are laughing at him because he has an I.Q average of 68
This affects Charlie because society may feel as though they can take advantage of him

Algernon
Part III of Flowers for Algernon is basically about Charlie having his surgery done and he is slowly gaining knowledge. The TV from Dr. Nemur might actually be working! According to Ms. Kinnian Charlie’s diction is improving. He is getting better with spelling and using bigger words. He is aware that his “friends” really were jerks toward him they took total advantage of him, by getting him drunk and ditching him. SMH!!!!
