"Gimpy hollers at me all the time when I do something rong, but he reely likes me because hes my frend. Boy if I get smart won't he be surprised." (p 5) Charlie writes this down into his progress report and proves that he wants to please everyone by being smart. The scientists first try this experiment
But you can tell he’s trying really hard to pass the test to get the research done on him. You can really tell he wants became for intelligent, it's admirable of him. This is my journal entry for pages five through eleven. In process report four, Charlie is doing poorly on tests. He just doesn't comprehend what he's being told to do and is putting too much thought into telling the story, honestly i'm starting to wonder if he’ll even get picked. My thoughts on Process report five I'm feeling excited
to take that chance, and you know what? Charlie was eternally grateful after he got the AI surgery. He contributed immensely to science, was able to have feelings such as love, and had the chance to be smart. First of all, when Charlie had the AI surgery, he contributed to science. When Charlie gets smarter, he does an experiment and finds out about the Algernon-Gordon Effect. Even if he doesn’t remember exactly what he did after he regressed, he is still happy he did it. An example of this from the
man with a mental condition was seen as fragile. To further his intelligence level, he attended the Beekman College center for retarded adults. His desired self was to become intelligent. “If the operation works good I’ll show that mouse I can be as smart as he is even smarter” (12). The opposite of the real Charlie possessed the traits of anti-socialism, intelligence, possessing motivation, and being opinionated. “This intelligence has driven a wedge between me and all the people I knew and loved,
Introduciton The main reason I chose How Smart Can We Get would be it is our intelligence that sets us apart from any other being on this planet. Humans have a unique brain. It allows us to solve problems in ways that are still surprising us to this day. Every time that humanity has been faced with a problem supposed to be too great for us to conquer, a brain has concocted an answer to save us. There are several reasons the human brain is such a marvel. The ones the documentary touched on that I
So, How Smart are you? If I could give you anything…anything you wanted at all, what would it be? For many, the immediate response is: “I want to be smarter!!!” Why smarter? If you are very smart, what do you do with all this smartness? Is there such a thing as being too smart? My younger brother, Ian, is a fourteen-year-old junior in high school. Clearly precocious for his age and stature, there are many who envy his ability and talent to understand academic concepts with relative ease.
Algernon is a mouse. He's a special mouse, Charlie Gordon is told, and it must be true, because whenever Charlie and Algernon run a race (Algernon is in a real maze; Charlie has a pencil-and-paper version), Algernon wins. How did that mouse get to be so special, Charlie wonders? The answer is that Algernon's IQ has been tripled by an experimental surgical procedure. The scientists who performed the experiment now need a human subject to test, and Charlie has been recommended to them by his night-school
Skinny or Smart Would you rather be skinny or smart? This question hits young girls across America. Today many of our young Americans are losing weight to essentially be more “beautiful.” I use the word “beautiful” carefully because beautiful is not what is on the outside, but the inside is where it counts. Yes, some girls are naturally pretty and smart, but what some people don’t realize is that some of those girls are not eating and not exercising to get the body that they would like. This
and wantonly, but few get away with it without being suspected. General Zaroff got away with murder quite frequently, and Mr. Baumer also did. They were both good at it. Zaroff and Mr. Baumer were the most evil people in "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Bargain" because they were both very sneaky and smart about murdering, they both stacked the deck against their victims, and they were both murderers. General Zaroff and Mr. Baumer were very sneaky and smart at committing the murders

Smart Bombs: The History and Future of Strategic Bombardment Introduction Every kid loves to hear stories from their grandparents about something that they have experienced in their life. For me, some of the best stories came from my father about the air war that was waged over Europe during World War II. He often told me of a day that a formation of almost 1,000 bombers flew over his base: "The drone of the planes could be heard for miles and made us on the ground feel as small as ants
air, to find a way to exist without all of our technology and 'smart' ways of living. These 'smart' things are actually quite dumb. We only believe that they are smart because they help us get along more efficiently with our meek little lives. Things that 'help' in the beginning can kill us all later on. Evidence of this: just look around today! Millions of creatures are dieing because of what our 'smart' gadgets are doing. Don't get me wrong-- I believe that they eventually would die too, but they

Sterilizing the World of ‘Dumb’ People . . . Why It Won’t Work “If we could just keep dumb people from having children, eventually there would be nothing but smart people and this would be a better place.” After reading this statement once and not really fully considering it, a lot of people may agree.
