Assignment #3. I hate this book.
I don't really like the book. It takes too long to get through each section, and I'm just WAITING to be done with it finally. It's boring. His life is kind of boring as well, so it's like reading every day of any normal person's life. I can only not be bored with it while I'm reading if I multitask reading and eating. Can't he just live happily ever after and stop where he is now on page 127? I'd be fine with that, thanks.
This Book Kinda Sucks
As i read this book, i found myself controlling my urge to vomit. It started out as a interesting book and still kind of is. The section i am reading is very slow. His writing as he becomes a genius is very unintriguing,(if that's a word!) and boring. I find myself reading about enzymes and things i don't understand. But i hope this book turns out well so it will be intriguing!

How do I...
Hey does anybody know how to make it so other people from other blogs can comment on my posts? I know how to get to the "Who Can Comment?" part, but I don't know which option to select. Do any of you guys know what I'm talking about? We all need to do it for Lit. Circle Question 3. Thanks!
assignment #1...
Ok! Here's the first assignment...
The setting of "Flowers for Algernon" is set in modern NY (1950ish??). The first character introduced is Charly, who is narrarating. Several of his doctors are later introduced, and his family is mentioned. Those are the first characters introduced in the novel.

Question (1)
In the novel Flowers For Algernon written by: Daniel Keyes, the plot is located in a variety of places, all within New York City. The majority of the story is set at Charly Gordan's apartment, where he writes his daily progress reports. The novel is also set at the bakery in which Charly works, and lastly at a night school Charly attends for adults suffering retardation. From what I have read so far in this story, it seems to me that it takes place in either the late 1900's or early twenty first century. While the story is written in a series of misspelled progress reports, setting is not easy to identify at the start of the story, but the way the story is written is very real and intriguing. I am exited to find out what happens next!
