Answer and Explanation:
"Flowers for Algernon" is a short story by author Daniel Keyes. The story is narrated from a first-person perspective by the main character, Charlie Gordon. Charlie, who initially has an IQ of 60, undergoes a groundbreaking surgery that triples that number.
<u>Because of the narrative point of view, readers only get to know what Charlie knows. We see what he sees and feel what he feels. For instance, before the surgery, Charlie describes his co-workers at the bakery as good friends. He makes it seem as if they like him, as if they have fun with him. However, once Charlie's intelligence begins to develop, he realizes they are bullies who have fun at his expense. As readers, we grow with Charlie, keeping up with his discoveries about the world, people, and himself.</u>
