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 knew the affects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

If I had the choice to have this operation, I would probably not do the operation even though I knew the affects of the surgery would only be temporary. I would not do it because of many reason. One of my reasons I wouldn't want to take it because why would I get a surgery that's not worth it. By this I mean that its not worth opening my head and getting my brain fixed up and then I'm just smart for a while and then I go back to the way I usually am. Also another reason is that in the story it said that Charlie took little time to get smarter but when he started to get dumb again he was losing half of his mind. I'm referring to this by like he took little time to actually get everything in his mind which is good but when he starts to go back to normal he just loses all his knowledge and I really don't want that to happen to me. Another reason why I wouldn't take this operation because I don't want to ever get surgery on somewhere its dangerous because something might go wrong during the operation and that is NOT COOL!!! Like you opening your head can dangerous because it may get infected or something else gets into your head open. You know something may go wrong while the operation is being made because the doctor might not remember how to do it, something may be spilled, or they might do something else other than what they really need to.
