"Flowers for Algernon"

I read "Flowers for Algernon" as required for my Language Arts curriculum and it is about a low IQ man called Charlie Gordon. Quite taxing but, no choice. I prefer the Charlie with an IQ of 68 than the one with an IQ of 200 as when he was highly intelligent, he became arrogant and looked down on other people, looking only at their weak points and not their strong points but when he was no intelligent, he was humble and treated everyone well.
I feel that what makes an ideal human of life is not his or her intelligence, but rather the person's happiness, as well as being humble and not arrogant. Intelligence does not determine that smarter people are superior and we should not follow the example set by Charlie in "Flowers for Algernon", where he looked down on the two scientists who conducted the operation on him.
Giftedness is a level of intelligence higher than average. However, people should not use science to improve someone's intelligence or external appearance as it is not natural and may have a negative effect on a person's body or mind.
