“Flowers for Algernon” Essay Instructions You will write a 5 paragraph essay explaining whether or not you feel Charlie should have undergone the experiment or stayed the way he was. Consider: is it better to live a life of happiness but with no knowledge, or is it better to have knowledge even if it leads to the understanding that life is not always good or happy? Is it better to laugh along with those who laugh at you, or is it better to know that they are, in fact, laughing at you, not with you? Is it better that Charlie got to experience the life that others take for granted, or would it have been better to simply be ignorant of many of life’s experiences and just be happy living simply?

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?    'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.  look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,  the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'     see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,   the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,   and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover   and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.  'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,  he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.   see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' - - 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.   'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
