Charlie Gordon, a retarded adult, was given a second chance in life. By means of
a special operation that was conducted by a few scientists. The operation was supposed
to increase the I.Q. of a person tremendously. The scientists had already tried this
experiment on a small white mouse, and there were ready to try it on their first human
being. Charlie was picked out of a bunch of different mentally retarded adults because he
seemed to be stable enough to deal with this operation, and the process of the
development of his intelligence. Although it was a long process, Charlie developed his
increased intelligence at a steady rate. At first he was able to learn easy things, such as
spelling and punctuation. After a considerable amount of time, Charlie developed more

example of how people were awful to him would be his friends at the Bakery. Charlie
had worked at this bakery for many years. He swept and cleaned the bathrooms. The
other employees, mainly Joe Carp and Frank Reilly, always treated him as a less of a
person because he was retarded. Charlie really believed that these two men were his
friends. Little did he know that when they laughed at him, it wasn’t because they were all
having a good time, it was because they found pleasure in treating him like dirt. While
still retarded, Charlie never realized that these men who claimed to be his friends, were
simply not. They took him to parties and other places, not because they liked him, but
because it was a way for them to feel like they had a superiority over him because he
