Charlie
and Alice's relationship continues to struggle. Alice believes that after the
operation Charlie became a different person. Alice decides they need a break
and she won't be coming to the convention. A few days later Charlie, Dr.
Strauss, and professor Nemur leave for the convention. When Charlie gets on the
plane he is terrified. Then the flight attendant tells him he needs to buckle
his seatbelt. Charlie suddenly has a flashback to when he was a child. His
mother took him to a doctor to make him smarter and the doctor strapped Charlie
to a table. Charlie doesn't want to put his seatbelt on, but he has no choice.
Charlie relaxes with his seat belt on and the rest of the flight goes smoothly.
When
they arrive at the convention all the scientists gather in a room with Dr.
Strauss, Professor Nemur, Charlie and Algernon. Charlie feels very
uncomfortable and has an urge to let Algernon out of his cage. After a few speeches,
Charlie opens the door to Algernon's cage. This causes complete chaos. Charlie
catches up to Algernon and decides to take Algernon and go catch an airplane to
NYC.
While
reading this book I had many thoughts going through my mind. I can’t believe
how poorly Charlie’s mother treats him. I don’t understand how a mother could
look at her own child and think of them as stupid. I’m curious to see what
Charlie will do; he will need to find a job soon. He is going off to live on
his own and he doesn’t know anyone. Will he be able to make friends? I wonder
if Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur will find Charlie and Algernon. I can’t wait
to keep reading and updating you.
