Iasked dr strauss if ill beat algernon in the race after the operashun and he said maybe. if the operashun works ill show that mouse i can be as smart as he is. maybe smarter.

***

they let me hold him [algernon] for a minit. hes not so bad. hes soft like a ball of cotton. he blinks and when he opens his eyes their black and pink on the eges.

i said can i feed him because i felt bad to beat him and i wanted to be nice and make friends.

how does charlie’s view of algernon change?

he no longer sees algernon as a companion.
he no longer sees algernon as an opponent.
he no longer views algernon as intelligent.
he no longer views algernon as cruel.
