Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"An essay thesis argues that although both "Flowers for Algernon" and "Fish Cheeks" address people's desire to fit in with others, only "Flowers for Algernon" conveys the theme that people often treat those who are different badly. Which quote from "Flowers for Algernon" would best provide evidence for the thesis?
"I like Miss Kinnian becaus shes a very smart teacher. And she said Charlie your going to have a second chance."
"I told him it was a very nice inkblot with littel points all around the edges. He looked very sad so that wasnt it."
"Dr Strauss came to my room tonight to see why I dint come in like I was suppose to. I told him I dont like to race with Algernon any more."
"It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me."
Answer:
"It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me."
Explanation:
Generally, when we want someone close to us, we want to treat that person well, since their presence makes us happy and comfortable. That way we want the other person to also feel happy and comfortable with our presence.
However, the quote shown above shows a situation where people want a specific individual close to them, however, they want to treat that individual badly. They want to make jokes, make fun and expose the insecurities of that individual as a joke. So, this quote is the perfect example to support the essay thesis that states that although "Flowers for Algernon" and "Fish Cheeks" meet people's desire to fit in with other people, only "Flowers for Algernon" conveys the theme that people generally treat those who are different poorly.
