Point of View by Avi Solkoff

The point of view of this Story is from a retarded 32 year old man named Charlie who has been givin the chance to be as smart, even smarter than everyone else. On the way he finds out that being smart isn't what it is cracked up to be. You see through the chaging views he has on issues and with others changes as he goes from "childhood" behavior to a more "adult" behavior and thought. Charlie is the main character/ narrator of the story who through daily responses talks about what has happened that day or week to him and his pal Algernon, a mouse who went through the same operation as Charlie to become smart. It is a diary in a way but instead of diary it is called a progress report which he must do as proof of his progress mentally. You see Charlie all over the child-adult spectrum when dealing with issues, or recalling a past event. The Point of View of the story helps to progress the story to what it is.
