Flowers for Algernon Essay In the story “Flowers for Algernon”, Charlie undergoes an experiment that triples his IQ of 68 and makes him into a genius. Even though it was temporary, Charlie expressed deep joy over this, and therefore I believe that this was a positive experience for Charlie. First of all, he stated near the start of his regression that he felt glad that he was able to find out so much for science, even if he had to disprove Dr Nemur and Dr Strauss’ theories. Secondly, he pointed out in the beginning that he didn’t care that the intelligence wouldn’t last, and that he just wants to be able to experience it once. Finally, Charlie stated in the end that he was very glad he was able to see things from a smart person’s perspective for once and he was happy that he saw things he never even knew existed.
One of my favorites is the story of The Tortoise and the Hare. This story teaches a lesson that can benefit both the young and old alike. The story of The Tortoise and the Hare is one that quickly came of mind to me as it is a fun fable and has been shared many of times. This is a story of a tortoise and a hare both racing each other. The hare is cocky and egotistical; he thinks he will win the race because he is faster.

The similarities they share are the fact that both are child geniuses and are very small for their age but they do differ somewhat in their social skills. Both books are based on the amazing intellect of the two children. Early in Ender’s Game we see the brilliance of the child prodigy, Ender, when he is drafted to go to battle school and then we learn that he will be noted as one of the brightest military minds. Bean undergoes a similar experience except, it is known to the student’s that Bean received the highest test scores possible. As we continue to read Ender’s Game we find Enders’ true mental capabilities but as we learn from Ender’s Shadow Bean’s mind surpasses Ender’s because his test scores surpass Ender’s.
He's very timely with his apperiences and often gets the band of dwarves out of trouble. He can use magic, but only does it for good reasons. They first start out at bilbo's house. The band of dwarves are recruiting Bilbo because they belive he is an expert burgaler. What they don't know, is that Gandalf actually put a sign on his door that he was an expert burgaler because he really wanted Bilbo to go on an
One way is that Iorek has many great battle strategies and is smart in the way that he can outsmart people lower and higher than him. Lord Asriel is very smart and unpredictable in the way that he is scientific and futuristic. He looks at what he could do to make us modern. But yet again I state clearly; they are both intelligent. My opinion on who is more a true father to Lyra is clearly made already.I think Iorek is more a father because Lyra loves him more,for example,the scene where Lyra is talking to Serafina Pekkala in
American Society to Foster Confidence in its Female Population In the light of the “Beauty and the Beast,” Dave Barry brings up the idea of the Buzz-Off action figure as being very “self-confident.” Dave Barry’s ideological emphasis is based on the instances of how his little son played with hideous looking action figure which the little boy called “Buzz Off” (who was part human, part flying insect) and developed extreme self-confidence. Arguably, the American society can foster more confidence in its female population by applying various parenting steps such as: finding mentors and ask for help, developing a growth mindset, identifying their female children’s gifts and translating them into service, and informing on how to embrace challenges and do not shy away from failure.
Then he thought of it, Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse was created to bring joy to people in the midst of the Great Depression. Mickey’s happy spirit is what made him popular.

I think Charles is bright and intelligent by reading people’s thoughts. Meg’s father was brilliant enough to find a way to Camazotz with a group of scientist helping him. Fist, Meg was at home where she, Charles, and Calvin found Mrs.Whatsit, Mrs.Who, and Mrs.Which. Next, they travel to Camazotz where Mrs.Whatsit shows the three children her true identity. Then, they went to save their father who had been captured by IT.
Bryan Asencio Ms. Mendoza English 101 #1302 October 13, 2012 Designer Babies Response In “Designer Babies” by Michael J. Sandel, Sandel makes many good points on genetic engineering, or eugenics. One really good point he made was that parents are using eugenics to give their children an advantage or competitive edge in life which he believed was morally okay. He supported this by saying that we praise parents who help better their children by taking them to music classes, putting them in sports, helping with homework so why shouldn't it be the same for parents who try to help their kids by giving them good genes by using eugenics (Sandel, 789). He counters that point with a point that I find the is the most convincing which is when he says that the thing that is wrong with eugenics is not only the coercion but also that it is basically trying to control or manipulate the genetics of our next generation (Sandel, 789). I completely agree with Sandel, trying to control what a whole generation looks like or what skills or attributes they have is wrong because it would be basically mass producing human to meet a certain criteria which is morally wrong.
