In Flowers for Algernon, Charlie Gordon is a 37 year old that wishes to be smart so he can have more friends. We think that people who have average intelligence probably have more friends then someone mentally disabled. That doesn't mean that they are not good friends, it might just be because people might not want to be around them. People like Charlie might have the challenge of not being able to do the things that people around them can do, like reading and spelling. They also might have trouble being on their own, they might not know how to do certain things like cooking. Some smart people have challenges like being bullied and if they are really smart they might not have any friends because they have people taking advantage of their smartness. These are the challenges that certain people may have.
