After a few weeks, Charlie decides
to contact Alice. He calls her and decides to meet up at her apartment. Alice
told Charlie that she was really worried about him. Charlie told her not to
worry and he would return to the lab in a few days. Charlie begins to have a
theory that "Charlie" is watching him. He believes
"Charlie" is the version of him before he had the operation. Charlie
believes that "Charlie" is against Charlie and Alice having a
romantic relationship. He thinks this because whenever he is about to do
something romantic with Alice he starts to feel sick and nothing ever happens.
He thinks "Charlie" is causing this sick feeling. Alice told Charlie
to stop thinking about his theory and that it’s not real. But when
Charlie leans towards Alice to kiss her yet again he gets this sick feeling. Charlie
runs out of her apartment so he can go home.
When Charlie gets back to his
apartment he waits for Fay to return back to her apartment. When she comes back
he quickly goes to her apartment. They end up drinking then getting in bed
together. Charlie feels as if "Charlie" is watching but he doesn't
care. But the relationship between Fay and Charlie isn't perfect. Charlie is
having a hard time getting work done because he is always out dancing and
drinking with Fay. Algernon begins to act very strange. He refuses to complete
the challenges Charlie creates for him. But even worse, he bit Fay.
Charlie decides to meet up with Dr.
Strauss and Professor Nemur. They are glad to see Charlie and Algernon. They
make a plan to get their experiments back on track. Unfortunately, they are
also very upset about Algernon's recent behavior and disappointed that Charlie left
with Algernon for New York City.
Charlie decides to visit the Warren
home, a place where retarded people live. When Charlie arrived he met up with
Mr. Winslow who gave him a tour. Charlie thinks the whole atmosphere seems very
gray and sad. When Charlie leaves he doesn't know what to think about the
Warren home.
Algernon continues to struggle and
he refuses to do his practice activities.
Alice meets Fay and right away they
click. They hang out, Charlie, Fay, and Alice for a few hours. When Alice
leaves she tells Charlie that Fay is a very nice person, but he needs to be
careful. He needs to make sure he isn't drinking too much and he keeps learning.
Questions
- What is the cause of this sick feeling he is getting?
- Why does Charlie keep seeing "Charlie"?
- What does Charlie mean when he says on page 31, "I may soon be coming to Warren, to spend the rest of my life with the others... waiting."?
