The other day, I was sitting around posting on various forums and, in essence, doing nothing. So I thought of some things to do. Reading just happened across my mind and I looked for a book that seemed interesting to me.I have my own bookshelf and I skimmed across all the books until I happened upon. Flowers for Algernon.[Your probably thinking: why in the name of our good lord is he posting this here?] Keep reading. The story is about a slow person named Charles Gordon. He is in a labratory with two doctors, Dr.Something... and Dr. Strauss [I said it.] Gordon is here because he is unusually dumb, if you will, and Strauss is going to give him an operation[?] to make him smart. He has these races with this rat named Algernon. He does a paper maze and the rat does real mazes. Slowly he starts getting better at these mzes and beats Algernon. And as I read this, one thing kept popping up in my head. Durandal. "I know about strauss' abuse.." In the story, Strauss gives Gordon a shot or something [Not described in story.] and Gordon gets smarter and smarter. Strauss saw Algernon [Also operated on.] be hostile and stupid again. Gordon realizes he will soon revert back. This might be the point where Gordon [supposedly Durandal] writes Gheritt White terminal. Algernon reminds me of a familiar phrase from the Gheritt White terminal as well: "Can't sleep in here, if the smell of this musty bedroll
I have looked through the Gheritt White puzzling things about page and I also scavenged this:"Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze,make the maze from it's path, find the cellbars, cross over the bars, find amaze,
I have found a number of other relations as well, "The food they feed you in here could kill a lab rat..." Algernon dies in the end because he is useless to the labratory. This is really piecing together eh? Here's another one:"In his hand he saw a small white rat."
If this theory has already been posted, Im sorry for wasting space. If not.. then.. :D
