FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON is a beautiful and heartbreaking story. The movie was excellent, too. Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN would be another interesting book to report on.
I read the story 60 years ago. It takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions, hoping that Charlie will end up "normal" and possibly marrying Alice Kinnian, only to be devastated when reality intrudes.
I loved reading your insights in relation to your life experience - great analysis! I have to confess I've stumbled here as I've just posted my review of Flowers for Algernon, although it's pretty different to yours the same quotes you chose were the ones that stayed with me also! Great review and thank you for sharing. Would love to hear your thoughts on mine if you feel like checking it out. This book was so brilliant!

If you have read it would you mind elaborating it a bit. I would like to experience the book from another reader's mind
