Flowers For Algernon Play (Linguistic B)

Here is a play for a scene in Flowers for Algernon...

Scene in the factory

CHARLIE: (pleading) Can I have my own job back as a janitor?

MR DONNEGAN: (suspiciously) Why?

(Charlie told him what had happened)

(Mr Donnegan puts his hand on Charlie's shoulder)

MR DONNEGAN: Charlie, you've got guts!

(Everyone looks at Charlie when he came down and started working in the toilet sweeping it out like he used to)

ONE OF THE NEW MEN WHO CAME TO WORK AFTER CHARLIE WENT AWAY: (sarcastic) Charlie, I heard you were a very smart fellow, a real whiz kid. Say something intelligent!!

(Charlie felt bad)

(Joe came over and grabbed him by the shirt)

JOE: (peeved) Leave him alone you lousy cracker or I'll break your neck!

FRANK: Charlie, if anybody bothers you or tries take advantage, you can call me orJoe and we will set' em straight!

(After a moment)

CHARLIE: (touched) Thanks!!
(Charlie got choked up so he had to turn around and went into the supply room so they wouldn't see him cry)
Lights fade, slowly.

Oh, to look like RAIN!

Many people want to do plastic surgery just to look like some famous artiste from Korea or Japan. Why are people doing plastic surgery? One man, for instance, recently had his jaw contoured at plastic surgeon Ivor Lim's clinic to achieve Korean singer Rain's chiseled look. Local celebrities, however, are less modelled-after, although actress Fann Wong's eyes and cheekbones have a following. If you are not a celebrity, why do you need to do plastic surgery? Though there is nothing wrong with wanting to make yourself beautiful or wanting to feel better about yourself. In a society where image is everything, feeling and looking good is important. The question to ask yourself is how far would you go to look perfect? Before you consider something as drastic as cosmetic surgery, make sure you are happy with who you are on the inside, because the outside can change at a moment's notice. I personally think that God created us as what we are.

We are all unique in a way as we are all different. A disadvantage of cosmetic surgery is the anesthesia used during the procedure. Anesthetic complications are more common than many people realize and they can be fatal in rare cases. However, less serious complications resulting from anesthesia include blood clots, temporary paralysis, abnormal heart rhythm and more. So people, don't go and do plastic surgery just to look like some artiste. But if you have serious burns or cuts, I would advice you to do plastic surgery. Please feel free to post your comments.

Do The Right Thing, Return Your Trolley

Do the right thing, return your trolley. Personally, I think that too many people are taking trolleys in hypermarkets for granted. People want to take the trolleys as they are really very cheap, you can have it just for $1. Trolleys are just innocent helpers of mankind. Trolleys are beasts of burden, carrying your groceries to your car, never complaining, never asking a word of thanks. In the past, FairPrice had implemented various measures to address this industry-wide trolley issue, from ID exchange to the use of perimeter sensor technology that locks the wheels of the trolley when it crosses the perimeter. If I borrowed a book and did not return it to you, would you be generous enough to let me have it? If you're so generous with me not returning - can I borrow (not steal) $50 for the weekend? Similarly, just state on each trolley that its supermarket's property.

I just don't get it, why do people just want to take things for granted? If you see an abandoned trolley at the side of the road, would you be an angel and return it, or would you be tempted by the dark side of yourself and bring the trolley home? There was once when I saw my neighbour bringing home a trolley. With justice welling up in me, I decided to persuade him to return the trolley but all I got was a flea in my ear. What are your views?
