Flowers for Agernon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it, especially if you knew the efects of the surgery would only be temporary? Why or why not? Use examples from the story.

I think that i would do the operation because i would like to see how it feels to be smarter then a doctor. I would like to be smart temporarily because i would not have to ask people questions when i don't understand. Then i won't have to be made fun of for not knowing an answer to a question either. For example, if some one trys to make fun of me or does something to hurt me. I would know what to do or whats happening. Unlike Charlie in the book where they make fun of him and he doesn't get it. In my opinion i think i would like to be smart for a little while then live life not knowing new things.
