Question

10. How is it humorous that Charlie expected the doctors to know Greek, Latin, and Hebrew?

Answer 1

Answer:

Charlie expected the doctors to know Greek, Latin, and Hebrew languages because they were therapists and their profession required them to have an understanding of ancient languages.

Explanation:

Flowers for Algernon is a short story turned novel written by Daniel Keyes. The story was first written in the form of a short story and after receiving much appreciation, the author turned it into a novel.

In Progress report 8, Charlie Gordon writes about interaction with Dr. Strauss, in which Dr. Strauss reveals that he only knows Latin, Greek, and Hebrew languages. Charlie was shocked to know that. As Charlie's level of IQ was increasing, his intelligence in various fields of profession increased. He understood that for Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur, having an understanding of ancient languages was vital. Thus it is humorous that Charlie expected the doctors to know Greek, Latin, and Hebrew languages.
