In Flowers for Algernon, Charlie and Algernon are both connected. Algernon was the first to "become smart," and Charlie followed. The reader knows from the beginning that their fates are intertwined; what happens to Algernon happens, at some point, to Charlie.

Algernon and Charlie both had their intelligence increased, and both became abnormally intelligent. Algernon and Charlie enjoy a bond that is both a deep connection and a symbolic relationship. In a literary sense, Algernon symbolizes Charlie.

As Charlie becomes smarter, he sees the connection as well. He understands that Algernon's behavior foreshadows his own fate. Therefore, when Algernon's behavior alters, Charlie knows that it is more than likely to happen to him as well. Thankfully, Charlie is so smart at this point that he is in a position to try and delay any changes from happening to himself. That's why he begins to work so intensely. With his great mind, Charlie is attempting to find any way he can to stop the changes from occurring within his own mind.

Sadly, of course, Charlie learns that it is not possible. His great intelligence could not save him from his fate, a fate that mirrors that of Algernon. Both were allowed only a brief moment of glory, despite the best efforts of those who tried to make this brief moment last.

While it might have seemed like a good idea for <u>Sultan Singh to start an egg business, the population of India is largely vegetarian</u> due to religious reasons  and does not eat eggs so the business failed.

Explanation:

Hot and Cold foods are described locally and known intuitively by many people who follow the Hindu religion. Eating habits are based on the demarcation.

<u>Cold foods are not eaten after sunset as they induce cold and fever it is believed. These include curd, fruits and even rice which is served hot.</u>

<u>Any other type of staple food is believed to be hot and can be eaten throughout the day.</u>

The Singh business did not run because of the strict eating habits of Hindu of which the above is a great example. These habits include not eating non vegetarian food on certain days for even the people who  do. Thus a non vegetarian business finds it hard to function in a Hindu majority region.

Your looks are pale and wild, and do import
Some misadventure.

In an argument, a logical fallacy is a wrong or misleading statement about what?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Logical fallacies are arguments that may sound convincing, but are based on faulty logic and are therefore invalid. They may result from innocent errors in reasoning, or be used deliberately to mislead others. Taking logical fallacies at face value can lead you to make poor decisions based on unsound arguments.
