Perhaps the Algernon is for the mouse in the movie Charly which was based om the book Flowers for Algernon. Google them for the plot. I recall crying at the movie.
that was a GREAT book. the movie lacked a bit, but the book was amazing
and sad
poor algernon
I have read the book too, it was really good.
it isnt really about a mouse, guys, lol
its a really good story, actually, about this mentally challenged man that had an operation to make him smart. but they experimented on the mouse, algernon, first. It was written really well because it went from what was seemingly a retarded mans journal into that of a super genius who had gotten so smart he couldnt understand humanity anymore , and then back to mental retardation and eventually, well, you saw the cake.
