Read the excerpt from "Flowers for Algernon."
 I asked Dr Strauss if Ill beat Algernon in the race after the operashun and he said maybe. If the operashun works Ill show that mouse I can be as smart as he is. Maybe smarter.
 Charlie’s thoughts and words in this passage show that he views Algernon as
 a competitor.
 an ally.
 an enemy.
 a genius.
