Flowers for Algernon

        

        Flowers for Algernon is about a boy named Charlie who goes to a school for people with learning disabilities. Charlie really wants to become smart. Charlie wants to become smart because he thinks that he will have more friends if he is smart. We think that sometimes smart people have more friends but sometimes smart people have less friends. It just depends. 

        Sometimes people like to hang out with smart people instead of people that are not so smart. People like to have smart friends because they want to hang out with people that know what they are doing and have common sense. People also like to have smart friends because they can help them with stuff that they do not understand!

        However, there are some people that are really smart and they do not have many friends. This is because other people may think that they are a little bit “nerdy” or to smart to be around. There are people who do not like to be with people that are a little bit “nerdy” because they are not cool enough and they do not want to be seen with them. People may also not want to be friends with “nerdy” people because they might just focus on studying and not do other things with their friends. People that are really smart may not be as smart in the social world.

        In conclusion, we think that sometimes smart people have a lot of friend but sometimes smart people do not have that many friends. People like to have friends that have common sense and people that are social.
