As we have concluded our study of "Flowers for Algernon" ,during today's session Jaydn worked on drafting a literary essay as an assessment. After she completed a few paragraphs, we discussed how to incorporate the prompt's thematic inquiry as to the ethics of certain types of medical experimentation . Specifically, we worked on incorporating into the essay the thematic importance of the story's biblical allusions to Adam and Eve and on relating this reference to the "evils" inherent in exploring certain kinds of scientific or medical knowledge.
