Flowers for Algernon.

I'm depressed, but happy at the same time that I found my Martina McBride (Concrete Angel) poster. Ha. I can put it up on my Paramore dominated walls. :)

We're reading this story called "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes in Language Arts. I think Charlie Gordon killed himself at the end. Because if you foreshadow on the part where he says "It's hard to throw off thoughts of suicide", it is kind of obvious to me. THAT'S why I'm depressed and sad. Like that one time I looked over a CD of my cousins favorite band. My Chemical Romance. Now THAT is depressing.

Anyways, the reason I brought up that story is because in one part Charlie says he feels.... ''more alone than ever". He has a mental issue where he can't learn as well as other people so he's basically 'dumb'. And he gets a surgery to help him be smart. And he gets too smart. So smart he loses the people he thought were his friends and his job, too.

I feel bad for him. Even though he's most likely not real. And he doesn't want people to feel bad for him.

COUGH COUGH.
