Irony By: Shannon Doran

The thing that was most ironic about Flowers For Algernon was the fact that he got smart and lost his friends, but when he got "dumb" he won friends. He thought that if he got smart he would make more friends since he would be like everyone else, but in reality Algernon was there the whole time, and Algernon was a true friend. Charlie thought the people at the bakery were his friends when they really were just making fun of him. No one should be made fun of, especially for the reason they were making fun of Charlie. Even though the ending was ironic it really tied the story together and ended the story.
