“I feel ashamed” -Charlie

Dr. Nemur gives Charlie a TV to sleep with at night to strengthen his subconscious

Dr. Strauss on the other hand could care less about Charlie I actually think he’s jealous of the fact that Charlie might have the potential to know as much as him if not more

Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss

When the policeman brings Charlie home drunk from the club Ms. Flynn takes him to his room and makes sure he’s safe.

Algernon

Part III of Flowers for Algernon is basically about Charlie having his surgery done and he is slowly gaining knowledge. The TV from Dr. Nemur might actually be working! According to Ms. Kinnian Charlie’s diction is improving. He is getting better with spelling and using bigger words. He is aware that his “friends” really were jerks toward him they took total advantage of him, by getting him drunk and ditching him. SMH!!!!
