I on “Flowers For Algernon”

The first time I read it was when TJ was a sophomore in high school.

He asked me to write his report on it.

I found the story one of the best ever written.

Poignant.

I swore that I would never read it again.

Yesterday I read it again.

I goddamn cried.

I said to Charles, “I’m never reading it gain. Ever.”

A year after writing that report, Jayson asked me to write his report on Anthony and Cleopatra.

What was it about these high school Atenistas that they couldn’t write their own reports?
