Flowers for Algernon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you know the effects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

In my opinion, I think that I will not do the operation. I will not do the operations for many reasons. One example is if I were dumb why will I want to be smart for just a little while. Also if I were born dumb then that is just the way I am. My third reason is if i were dumb and i want to be smart I want it to be permanent because then what is the point of it. Do I really think I want to be smart?

For example if I were dumb, why will I want to be smart for just a little while. One thing is I will not get anything out of it because I will not remember anything. Also being smart is really not you because you were not born to be smart. Another reason for this is doing an operation will only help you become a better person but then you will still be the same kid that will have no friends. I will like to be me.

So if I were born dumb I will like to be me. For example if you really want to be smart then you have to do it yourself not with the help of an operation. You can do this by having you own competition and reading. Another example is if I do an operation I want it to be permanent.I will like it to be permanent becuase then I will be smart for ever and dir smart. So in my opinion I will not want to do an operation.
