Review of Book 1 : FLOWERS for ALGERNON

This book is about a *retarded* mentally handicapped man named Charlie,who had an experimental operation to make him a genius.
The operation was successful. Then he got a better understanding of what was going on in his past.
People who he thought were good friends were just making fun of him, his mother was ashamed of having a *retarded son etc. I can't imagine how he hurt when he found out the truth.
There might be a lot of things in the world we might be better off not knowing. (in English we have a saying for this: "ignorance is bliss" )

* "retard/retarded* is only used as an insult or derogatory word.
we usually say one of the following: special needs, mentally challenged, mentally handicapped, developmental delay, etc.
