Chapter 40 Bouquet for Algernon - Top of Tarzan

Bouquet for Algernon - Top of Tarzan "July 27th" I was working almost twenty-four hours a day, and Fee protested about it, so I just set up a cot in the lab.She became more and more possessive and began to resent my job.I think she's the kind of person who can put up with another woman but can't put up with someone else throwing herself into a job she doesn't understand, which is something I've always dreaded seeing.I'm growing impatient with her now because I value every moment I can work--and can't stand anyone trying to steal any time from me. Even so, I spend most of my time in Notepad.I write down my mood and thoughts at any time and put them in another file.

I am very interested in the analysis of intelligence, and I have a vague feeling that the rest of my life will be closely related to this problem.In this lab, I've been lucky enough to learn all the things I want to learn. Now, I have turned my time into the two fields of work and pursuing answers, so I feel that the surrounding world and the past seem to be very far away, making people invisible and a little distorted, as if time has been compressed into thin slices, and suddenly is relaxed and thus loses its original shape. Currently, where I am is the fourth floor of the main building.There is nothing here but cages, mice, and laboratory equipment, and there is no day or night, because I want to condense into a few weeks the work that other people have devoted their lives to.I know that everyone has limits and needs to rest and replenish their strength, but I don't want to waste a moment of time before I find out what may happen.

Alice is very helpful to me now, often bringing sandwiches and coffee, but never asking for anything. Now I feel as if everything is clear and obvious, and every feeling emanating from my heart is illuminated incomparably, and it is also like a colorful light radiating outward, blooming with gorgeous light. Sleeping alone in the laboratory had an unspeakable side effect.My mind was a little dizzy from the strange smells emitted by the various experimental animals here—dogs, monkeys, and white mice, etc., and I sank into the memories of the past.Sometimes, however, I can't tell if what I'm experiencing is something new or just a flashback of a past memory.Therefore, I can no longer distinguish which part is the memory and which part is the recent or just happened, as if memory and reality are intertwined with each other to form a strange combination.The past overlaps with the present, the stimulation of the brain nerve center and the response of shuttling and hitting in the room are up and down together, all the knowledge I have learned before is projected and reflected in the crystal-like bright universe, and then it is in front of my eyes clearly reflected.

A monkey sat in a cage and looked at me sleepily.Its arms were wrinkled and wrinkled like human arms that had shrunk with age.While scratching its cheeks, it made a chirp... chirp sound, echoing around the cage, climbing, and then crossing the swing above its head, all the other monkeys looked up.The monkey looked like he didn't care, then squatted down to urinate, defecate, fart, stare at me and laugh... chee... chee... chee... then hopped around, trying to Grab a monkey with its hands hanging on the iron bars by its tail.But the latter threw off the harassment calmly, without giving it a chance to succeed.Seeing these monkeys playing with their almond eyes open and their long tails waving innocently and innocently, one really wants to feed them something.However, at this time, a person suddenly appeared in my mind and was about to yell, because there was a warning sign not to feed animals next to it, and there was a chimpanzee in a cage behind the sign.If you can't feed it, can you pat it?It doesn't work either.But I want to pat it.It's okay, let's go, let's go see the elephants.

In the bright sunshine outside, there are many people wearing light spring clothes. Algernon lay motionless on his own excrement, and the stench from his body was stronger than ever.what about me?What will happen to me in the future? "July 28" Filipino made a new boyfriend.I wanted to be with her when I went back last night, but when I got a bottle of beer from the room and climbed over the fire escape to find her, I accidentally found her sitting on the sofa with a man.Fortunately, I checked my head first before going in, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.Seeing this scene, the strange thing is that I didn't care much about it, but breathed a sigh of relief.

So I went back to the lab to study Algernon's behavior.Sometimes it will suddenly wake up from the sick breath, try to walk the maze, and behave very actively.However, when he found himself in a dead end in failure, he immediately became like a defeated rooster and suddenly became angry.Every time I go back to the laboratory to see it, it will listen with vigilant ears, and then run to me, as if it still recognizes who I am.Now, it is very keen on solving problems. Once it is put in the net door outside the maze, it will immediately run along the track to the box with the reward.When I tried it, I succeeded the first one or two times, and failed the third time.It hesitated to stay at the intersection several times, and then went on the wrong path, and soon gave out a convulsion caused by a slight electric shock.I wanted to help it before it went wrong, but in the end I restrained myself and just watched from the sidelines.

If Algernon finds that the path he is walking is unfamiliar, he will slow down, judge for a while, and then appear to be wandering and at a loss.It will take a few steps forward before stopping, then back up and turn around, and then keep going until it goes wrong and gets a slight electric shock.At this time, instead of retreating and going another way as usual, it turned around in circles, angrily making a sharp sound like a stylus stuck in a groove, and then rushed to the maze wall in disappointment and anger, fell down and jumped up , rushing towards the wall again, once or twice, clawed at the net door and screamed horribly, then let go, tried again hopelessly, finally stopped and rolled itself into a tight little white ball .

I reached out to pick it up, but it still didn't want to relax, and continued to curl up, as if it had passed out.I moved its head and limbs, but there was still no response.After being put back in the cage for a while, it slowly returned to normal. I can't deduce the reason for its degeneration - is this just a special phenomenon, or is it a symptom of degeneration?Or is there some normal reason behind it?If this is the case, I must find out why. If I can find it, even if it is only a icing on the cake for the original research on mental retardation, or only a little help for people who have encountered the same situation as me, I will be satisfied.In any case, I have the potential to ignite the lives of thousands of people and restore them to normal, and I may save the unborn yet destined to be born with imperfections.

I think this is enough. "July 31st" I can feel that I have reached the top of Mount Tai, entering the sea of ​​pure clouds that I have never experienced before, but people around me can't understand this state, thinking that I have fallen into the brink of madness .Every inch of my skin seems to be open to absorb external knowledge, immersed in the vast sea of ​​learning.During the day, knowledge penetrates into the body through the capillary pores, and at night, they explode like firecrackers in the mind in succession, bursting with joyful light.I often get the greatest joy out of solving problems.

What a miraculous phenomenon this is!Anything gets my energy going, as if I'm desperately wanting everything right now.The knowledge accumulated over the past few months had simmered to a certain energy and began to burn within me, leading me into a realm of lucid understanding.Looking around, there are golden rice fields intertwined with truth, goodness and beauty, and the joyful rice waves are blown by the wind.Now that I have finally found this rare land, how can I quit lightly?Work and life should be two major pleasures for a man, and I am completely immersed in it now, because I feel that the answer to the question I want to find is in my mind, and in the near future, it will be transformed into consciousness and printed into my think tank.I am praying to God that I will find an answer to this question as soon as possible, and if that is not possible, I am open to any answer and am grateful for all that comes.

Fee's new boyfriend is a dance teacher at the Star Ballroom.I don't blame her for abandoning me, because I don't have time for her either.
