FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON
I remember reading this heart-wrenching story about Charlie Gordon with my 8th graders. It was first published as a short story and then a novel and then made into a movie. There was never a dry eye in the room after finishing this one. 😢
Charlie: Now I have something for you to punctuate! (Shows the following sentence.)
“That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is“
Alice Kinnian: That does not make sense!
(Charlie now punctuates so that it reads:)
“That that is, is; that that is not, is not. Is that it? It is!
