Explain the significance of "pulling a Charlie Gordon." What is your impression of Charlie's coworkers? Compare your impression of Charlie's coworkers to the way he views them. Describe what you notice. Ask at least 3 of your own questions (or ponderings).

This question is about the book "Flowers for Algernon".

Answer andExplanation:

1. The phrase "pulling a Charlie Gordon" means "acting stupid like Charlie". This phrase was used because Charlie was a man with mental disabilities who did not understand the reality in which he was inserted. That way Charlie's coworkers asked him to do very stupid things as a joke, because Charlie didn't understand that they were making fun of him and did what they asked for. So, whenever someone did something stupid, they said that person was "pulling a Charlie Gordon".

2. Charlie saw co-workers as friends, people who were laughing at him and not laughing at him and using him as a joke or curse. This view is totally different from mine. In my view, Charlie's coworkers are very insensitive and intolerant people. That's because Charlie they are aware of Charlie's disability and know that he acts the way he does because he thinks he is with nice and fun people and not people who use him for his own entertainment. Charlie's coworkers treat him like a clown, when Charlie is a human being like any other.
