Chapter 9 Bouquet for Algernon - How Stupid I Am

Bouquet for Algernon - How Stupid I Am "April 8" How stupid I am!Couldn't understand what she was saying at all.I looked up the grammar book last night, and it explained a whole bunch of things, and I read it, and found it all the same as Miss Kinnian, but I still don't get it.When I woke up in the middle of the night, I suddenly understood those explanations in my mind. Miss Kinnian said the TV worked and helped me a lot at night before and while I went to bed.She says I'm in "altitude phenomenon" right now, meaning it's like I'm on the top of a mountain.

I finally learned how to use punctuation marks now, I read the previous progress report from the beginning, omg!I found that I wrote a lot of typos, and the punctuation marks are not good.I told Miss Kinnian that I should take a good look at the previous progress reports and correct any errors.She said: "No, Charlie, Professor Nima wanted to keep that look, so he returned it to you after the photo was taken. Charlie, you are making rapid progress." I was in a good mood after hearing her talk.After class I went downstairs to play with Algernon.We don't play each other anymore now.

"April 10th" I seemed to be sick, but it seemed useless to see a doctor. My chest felt empty, as if it was beating, and my heart seemed to have a fever at the same time. Originally, I didn't want to write about this matter, but after thinking about it, it would be better to write it down, because it is very important.Today is the first time I deliberately skip work and stay at home. Joe last night?Garp and Frank?Come and invite me to a party.There were a lot of girls in there, and Gambit and Ernie were there too.When they offered me a drink, I remembered how miserable it was to drink too much last time, and said I didn't want to drink.They gave me a bottle of coke instead which tasted weird but I thought it was a bad taste in my mouth.

We had a great time at first. Then Jo said, "Ask Ellen to dance! She'll teach you the steps." And he winked at Eileen, as if talking to her with his eyes. Eileen said, "Don't bother him." Joe patted me on the back and said, "This is Charlie Gordon, my good brother, her partner. He's not an ordinary guy, he's been promoted to a flour mixer master. I just ask you to dance with him and let him Be happy, what's wrong?" Then, he pushed me towards Elaine, so we danced together.I fell three times in total.I don't know how it happened, neither of us was dancing next to anyone else.Then I kept tripping because someone kept putting their foot in my direction.

There was a group of people around us watching us dance, and they kept laughing.They laughed even louder every time I fell.I also laughed with them, because I thought it was very funny.But the last time I fell, I couldn't stop laughing, I got up on my own, and Joe pushed me down again. I got sick to my stomach after seeing the look on Joe's face. "He's really funny," one girl said, and everyone laughed. "Oh, you're right, Frank," said Elaine with a hiccup, "he's the star of the show." She continued, "Come on, Charlie, catch this fruit." She tossed me the apple , When I bit down, I found that it was actually made of wax.

Frank started laughing and said, "I mean! He'll eat it. Who's stupid enough to eat wax fruit like that?" Joe went on, "I haven't laughed so hard since I called him at Halloran's to see if it's raining outside." At this time, I remembered a scene when I was a child. The children in the neighborhood asked me to play hide-and-seek with them, and I acted like a ghost.I counted from one to ten with my fingers. After counting several times, I couldn’t find them. I searched for a long time, but I found that it was dark and cold, and I still couldn’t find them when I had to go home.

I can't find them every time and don't know why. Now, what Frank said reminds me.The trick they played at Halloran's is the same trick they're playing with me now.They laughed at me the same way the kids laughed at me playing hide and seek. At that time, the people in the party started to blur, they were all looking at me and laughing at me. "Look at him, he's blushing." "Charlie is blushing, he is blushing!" "Hey! Elaine, what did you do to Charlie? I've never seen him like this." "Hey! Ai Lian really has a skill to make him like this."

At that time, I didn't know what to do, how to turn around.Eileen keeps grinding on me and it makes me feel weird.They laugh all the time.Suddenly, I found myself as if I had no clothes on.I wanted to hide from them so I ran out of the apartment.The apartment was huge, with many corridors, and I couldn't find where the stairs were, and I forgot to take the elevator.It took a long time before I found the stairs down to the street and returned home.I didn't know before that Joe and Frank and the others liked me around them just because they wanted to tease me. I now finally know what "go give Charlie a shove" means.

I feel so ashamed. there's one more thing.I dreamed about the girl Ellen who danced with me and kept grinding on me.When I woke up, the sheets were wet and sticky.
