Read this passage from "Flowers for Algernon", by Daniel Keyes "Dr. Strauss is very angry at me for not having written any progress reports in two weeks. He's justified because the lab is nowpaying me a regular salary. I told him I was too busy thinking andreading. When I pointed out that writing was such a slow processthat it makes me impatient with my poor handwriting, he suggested Ilearn to type. It's much easier to write now because I can typeseventy-five words a minute. Dr. Strauss continually reminds me ofthe need to speak and write simply so people will be able tounderstand me.

I'll try to review all the things that happened to me during thelast two weeks. Algernon and I were presented to the AmericanPsychological Association sitting in convention with the Word Psychological Association. We created quite a sensation. Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss were proud of us"
