The short story by Daniel Keyes, “Flowers for Algernon” became so popular it was later turned into a full novel, and then eventually made its way to movie screens. The short story was written in 1958 and first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and was so loved that it won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume One, 1929-1964”, https://amzn.to/3SePNlhWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Ellie rates the book 'Flowers for Algernon'

After just doing an episode about the Oscars, the boys decided to keep things exciting and do another one immediately after. But the Oscars are half the podcast's title, so we think our hosts deserve a pass for this one. Today they take a look at some films which have recently won Best Picture at the Academy Awards or Worst Picture at the Golden Raspberry Awards, trying their best to recast the movies and flip the outcome of the awards. In other words, can Sonny and Tom take a Best Picture film and make it bad by changing the cast? And can they take a Worst Picture film and make it good the same way? The short answer is no, as the cast can only affect a film so much if you can't change everything else. So the boys quickly decide that they actually are allowed to change everything else, basically reshaping the movies entirely and rendering the episode's title inaccurate. And that should give you an idea of how much they planned for this one.Of course, Sonny and Tom begin with a round of Arnold in a Famous Role, which takes them to Cliff Robertson's 1968 win as Charly in the film "Charly," which was based on the story "Flowers For Algernon." The boys discuss if Arnold Schwarzenegger would do well in this role as an intellectually disabled person, a kind of role which pretty much died off about 20 years ago. They also take a moment to acknowledge Cliff Robertson's late-career turn as Uncle Ben in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. In the process, they come to the realization that Uncle Ben only works if the character is old, as a youthful and spry Uncle Ben would detract from Peter Parker's nerdy ways. That's the kind of discourse you come here for.Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).Theme by Josh Britt (jbrittmusic.com)Instagram: AnOscarForArnoldTwitter: @AnOscar4ArnoldTikTok: AnOscarForArnoldContact: AnOscarForArnold@gmail.com

We're at the home stretch for The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, but Joel took a detour to the sad short story Flowers for Algernon by author Daniel Keyes. Come listen to why this story about a man who gains incredible intelligence and the cost that comes with it. Music credits: 'Filaments' by @ScottBuckley

Cry with Joy and Penn as they discuss Daniel Keyes classic work "Flowers for Algernon." Can you imagine science making you smarter, changing your life, and to lose it all? That is the heartbreak of this short story turned novel. 

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! Today, we're delving into Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Join us as we take you through the journey of an intellectually disabled man who undergoes a procedure with the hopes of increasing his mental abilities. We'll unpack several themes that resonate deeply with the human experience, and seek to get our questions answered on what it truly means to be intelligent. We cover a wide range of topics including: The relationship between intelligence and loneliness Whether the experiment actually made Charlie worse off Influence of social norms and media on individual beliefs and behaviors The existence (or lack of) internal dialogues How handicapped people are often viewed and treated And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

(6:18) Today we're talking about Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. The book takes us on the journey of a severely handicapped man who enters into an experiment in order to increase his intelligence. There will be spoilers so if you're planning on reading the book, we suggest you do that before listening to this episode! (12:28) Through Charlie's progression and regression, we get a glimpse into his levels of intelligence, awareness, and loneliness. He finds himself lonelier the more intelligent he becomes because as he gains more awareness, he learns that some people aren't truly his friends. (13:21) There seems to be a human desire to improve no matter what. Nat, Neil, and Adil debate whether Charlie was better or worse off in the end than he was at the start of his journey. (18:35) We discuss some of the other characters in the story and what their relationship with Charlie is like. Notably, Alice is one of the only people who saw him as a person throughout his whole life, even before he gained his intelligence.  (22:00) Charlie's family life and how the author wrote each of their closures with Charlie, or lack thereof.  (25:12) Despite Alice being a very positive figure in Charlie's life, you could make the argument that he didn't treat her very well. Regardless, Alice kept her hope and optimism in every situation. (28:18) Though the book is classified as science fiction, it also poses instances of moral philosophy. Showcased by the author were examples of how people with mental or physical disabilities are treated by others, both obviously and subtly.  (32:52) One of the symbols in the story was a window that Charlie would watch the world through. It was a way for him to interpret his disconnection from society. Throughout the story, Charlie makes progress once he acknowledges himself and his past rather than running and hiding from it.  (36:54) The progression of Charlie's intelligence vs. his emotional intelligence and how they changed at different rates. Plus, we talk about the role of the researchers and how he treated them. (40:02) Nat, Neil, and Adil talk about their interpretation of one of the earlier scenes in the book. In the background was some type of educational tape played for Charlie, but it could have also been symbolized to be his internal monologue. (41:40) Does everyone have an internal dialogue? We dig into a tangent of internal dialogue and why it may be that not everyone has one. (50:13) We break down the different versions of Charlie throughout his life and how his character changed throughout the story. (53:20) Recalling the Texas shooter from the 1960's who was found to have a brain tumor. This brings up many moral dilemmas as to whether someone like him should be allowed to walk after having the brain tumor removed. (56:02) Similarly, what is the tipping point for something small to snowball into a very dangerous idea? We continue with a discussion on the role of social norms and social media. You can live very close proximally to someone but be engaged in completely different social worlds. It's all about who you choose to follow and what types of content you engage with. (1:03:03) Where should the line be drawn in giving punishments to someone who has some type of illness in their brain, such as a brain tumor or lead poisoning? Let us know what you think! (1:09:13) Adil shares his experience with re-reading the book as well as ChatGPT's take on Charlie's sessions with his psychiatrist. (1:13:36) We talk about the author's writing career, including one of the other pieces that he has written. In fact, Apple TV came out with a mini-series based on one of his books!  (1:18:46) That wraps up this episode! We've got an exciting lineup for our next few episodes, beginning with Venkatesh Rao's essay, Fear of Oozification. Down the line, we'll also be covering Logicomix and re-reading East of Eden.

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 267, in which I review The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, episodes 1-3,  on Apple TV+ Written blog post review of these three episodes

Today we discuss another great book, "Flowers for Algernon". Listen to the episode to get smart just like Charlie!

An emotional journey that also ignites cognitive conversation. This is one of the Saddest books I've ever read. A man with low enough in IQ to be vulnerable, abused in childhood and adulthood alike, and unaware of so much in the world, undergoes an experiment to raise his mental capabilities. The book is written through "Progress Reports" before, during, and after the experiment has taken place, by the subject. Flowers For Algernon reverently, but firmly, asks the reader to consider Nature/Nurture, how we Value certain lives over others, and Who gets to Play God and Why? The story engages the heart and mind evenly and gets to the core of human experience. It is unquestionably relatable and challenging to any reader who can comprehend the words. Please read this book. If you have Empathy within you, it will humble you.*Spoilers* (REVIEW - WEEK 8, YEAR 4) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Flowers for Algernon is a 1966 novel by American author Daniel Keyes.

Please rate this podcast. Thank you! Charlie spends a bit more time with Alice, but he eventually asks her to leave. His decline becomes more aggressive, and he shuts everyone out. He plans to take himself to Warren House when the time comes because he doesn't want anyone to see him in his state of rapid deterioration.         

Charlie completes his research and his findings are published. He made recommendations for how to do proceed in future trials. He knows that the effects of his operation are temporary and that he will regress. He visits the Warren House to see what the daily operations are like there. Alice and Fay meet. Alice's only concern is that Charlie drinks too much when he is with Fay. Charlie visits his mother Rose and his sister, Norma. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karla3507/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/karla3507/support

PLEASE RATE THIS PODCAST. THANK YOU!

Charlie heads to Chicago with Strauss and Nemur for the International Science Conference. He becomes increasingly angry and resentful of their thinking of him as an experiment rather than as a human being. He begins to see them as regular men with huge egos rather than the geniuses he first believed them to be. His intelligence has surpassed theirs, and he finds a flaw in their calculations. He first thinks to expose this flaw but decides against it. He opens Algernon's cage and sets him free, then heads back to New York; Algernon in tow. *PLEASE rate this podcast.

Thanks for listening. Tip Cup: $JessTSM  :-) Psychological and emotional changes are starting to happen to Charlie. He witnesses theft at the bakery and struggles to determine if it's his obligation to report it. He grows closer to Alice Kinnian (his teacher who recommended him for the study), who at first resists him because he's changing so much, and his future is uncertain. Charlie loses his job at the bakery because his intelligence intimidates his co-workers, and they no longer know how to respond to him.

Siri Phaneendra hosts this broadcast focusing on language. Language is how we communicate. Reporter of 20/20 Vision, Kenneth Jeon, reminds us that languages aren't just limited to spoken or written words. He brings us examples of film language. Guest authors Wayne Kealohi Powell in Hawaii and Patti Miller in British Columbia, Canada cultivate the spirit of Aloha with their book Hawaiian Shamanistic Healing. Aloha refers to the divine spirit of love that flows through all things. Caitlin Sim offers that language is how we communicate with one another, and how we express our desires and wants. She dissects the 1960s, Flowers for Algernon, showing the struggle between intellect and emotion, between being considered “smart” and having meaningful relationships with others. “Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry, or savour their songs” - Nelson Mandela
