Chapter 410 A bouquet dedicated to Algernon
"Closer report!"
There are two typos in the four characters, and Li Qingning admires her man the most.
but-
She didn't bother Jiang Yang, he was typing fast.
Then-
“…the doctor said that from now on I should write down the beautiful things that I think and remember and that happened in my life.”
Li Qingning blinked, the amount of error is a bit high.
She could see that Jiang Yang wrote it like this on purpose, such as "should", which was already labeled as "should", but he replaced it with "Yinggai".
Li Qingning remembered what Jiang Yang said just now, and he could still write a novel with typos.
Now it seems that this is it.
interesting!
Li Qingning pulled a chair, sat next to Jiang Yang, leaned on the back of the chair and watched Jiang Yang type, watched the keyboard beeping, a line of text flowed out of the document, and watched the mentally handicapped person eager to change his "name". Charlie Gordon is alive and well on paper.
Charlie longs to be smart.
His parents abandoned him because he was not smart, and he thought that if he became smarter, he would regain their "Xi Huan"; there would be many "Xi Huan" of his friends, and he could listen to the words of "Dong" good friend and know "Hurry Up" What is the name of the person thinking and not feeling alone...
He is going to undergo an operation now, a surgical experiment that can make him smart.
And this "closer complaint" is something like a diary that Charlie kept in order to record his feelings and changes before and after the operation under the doctor's advice, so as to observe the effect of the operation experiment.
Now these typos—
Li Qingning was lying on the table, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the screen, then at Jiang Yang, and couldn't help but pat Jiang Yang's head with his hand.
Her husband is really amazing. He uses typos to highlight the gap in Charlie’s intelligence before and after, and at the same time reflects the tension of the story in the sense of reading language. Li Qingning has to say that this is a very powerful method, and it is also a writing method that she has never heard of or seen before.
but-
Lunch should be eaten or should be eaten.
Before Li Qingning could remind Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang stopped himself.
"A Bouquet for Algernon" has more than 100,000 words, and it will become a novel when it is written. Moreover, the diary method of "closer to report" is closer to an ideological narrative, and the narrative lacks scenes. Inspired, so it is quite difficult to write.
Now, Jiang Yang is stumped.
Because the protagonist had done a series of experiments before undergoing the operation, which involved some psychological knowledge and some names. How to understand.
He hit a snag here.
Fortunately.
He has Dr. Zhuang Qi, a psychologist and fellow patient.
"eat first."
Li Qingning told Jiang Yang not to call in a hurry, they had lunch first.
"good."
Jiang Yang stood up.
After lunch, Jiang Yang told Huo Che not to go to the store in the afternoon, and after asking Zhuang Qi for advice, his writing became smooth again.
Charlie will perform the operation has a success story - a mouse.
Its name is Algernon.
Before the operation, Charlie had a maze competition with the mouse Algernon.
Algernon won ten times.
At this time, Charlie was not sad, he just admired the little mouse's "short name".
But after the operation, while playing the maze game, Charlie started hating Algernon and hating himself for being dumber than a mouse.
Until he wins Algernon.
He's starting to get smarter.
He also fell in love with the teacher who taught him to read and write in the old imbecile adult center.
However, after being smart, Charlie discovered that those friends who "loved" him, those friends who he hoped could listen to "Dong" after they were "named in a hurry" so that they would not be lonely. These friends, whose so-called "fun" was fun playing Charlie, tripped him up again and again at work; they made Charlie "dance five" on the bar with a lampshade on, making everyone laugh,
Charlie remembered being a kid.
He stood in front of himself when he was a child, watching his mother force little Charlie to be a normal person, ignoring little Charlie when he was nervous to go to the toilet, and then slapped him after pulling his pants down. And after her mother gave birth to her younger sister and proved that she could give birth to a normal child, she didn't want to change little Charlie. However, throughout his life, little Charlie never stopped longing to become her smart child.
Smart Charlie stood in the memory and saw that little Charlie just wanted to comfort his crying baby sister, but his mother was afraid that he would hurt his sister, so he scolded and punished little Charlie, thinking that little Charlie was a monster that might hurt his sister.
Xiao Cha wanted to play with his younger sister, but the younger sister disliked him very much, and told her friends that he was picked up by her parents, not her brother at all.
He would have uncontrollable erections and get scolded by his mother.
He ended up being sent to work in a bakery while his parents separated so that he never saw them again.
Clever Charlie wants to turn this memory into a photo and tear it into pieces.
The shadow of childhood made Charlie fearful, afraid, and breathless when hugging his lover.
Cleverness didn't bring Charlie any friends either. Those friends he "loved" him at the bakery, who looked down on Charlie for his ignorance and boredom, now hate him for his knowledge.
even—
Smart Charlie also joined them unconsciously, laughing at the former silly Charlie.
Wisdom divided him and his friends.
Before, they laughed at Charlie and despised Charlie's ignorance; now, they hate Charlie's knowledge and understanding, "Why? What do they want from me in the name of God?"
Charlie was kicked out of the bakery.
He and the teacher he fell in love with are also drifting away, because his IQ is improving and the teacher can't keep up.
As for the scientists—
Charlie and Algernon are just their achievements. The scientists displayed them as "items" at the conference, as if they were not two lives. Charlie opened the cage and let Algernon run out at the conference.
Charlie watched a group of scientists catch mice all over the venue, he laughed.
Later.
Charlie found Algernon and went to New York.
Right at this moment, Algernon's healing power deteriorated, he became stupid, and he died.
It made the smart Charlie discover that the original operation mechanism was wrong. The operation only temporarily increased the IQ, and then dropped sharply.
He foresees his future and tries to change, he said, "If I can find out the results, just add a little bit of understanding to known mental disorders, and help people like me, I will be very satisfied .No matter what happens to me, my help to those unborn beings is equivalent to allowing me to live a thousand normal lives. This is enough."
Smart Charlie's IQ began to decline.
He began to forget what he had learned and what he was about to say, and gradually he began to fail to understand the books he had read before.
He was afraid he was getting worse, so he went to see his mother.
He never stopped longing to become his mother's smart child all his life. However, at this time, his mother was delirious and could no longer recognize him.
Charlie also met his own sister, who grew up and stopped hating him.
He went to say goodbye to the scientists, "We're not on the same level. I passed your level on the way up, and now I pass it again on the way down, but I don't think I'll be taking this lift again. So, at this point Let us say goodbye to each other now."
A string of typos reappeared in the report.
The power of writing with typos began to appear, from the difficulty at first reading, smooth, and then difficult, silly Charlie is back.
He said, "Please, God, don't take everything back."
"Please...please no...don't make me forget how to read and write."
He has become the old Charlie again, and he has returned to work in the bakery. It is true that his former friends hated him and felt sorry for him, and it is true that he helped him out now, but he no longer has the intelligence to sort out the logical relationship behind it. up.
The operation failed completely.
Charlie went to the imbecile center again, met the teacher, and told her, "Miss Kinnian, I came to class, but I lost my book."
The teacher ran out crying.
He suddenly remembered something and wrote a paragraph for the teacher, telling her not to feel sorry for him, because he learned a lot of things that he didn't even know existed in the world before; he was very happy, even if the time was short; he was also very happy Found out all about the family.
as well as-
"If you get a chance please put some flowers on Algernon's grave in the backyard."
This mouse is very small, and it is just one of the thousands of human resistance to the laws of nature, but it is Charlie's friend who knows best.
He remembered it.
I got up really early in the morning.
