Finally, our teacher summarised everything we had acquired and gained through this process of learning about blogs. She had also warned us again from writing our personal information on our blogs and told us that now even the local authorities are even worried and concerned over teen blogging.
Now, our teacher introduced us to narratives, and gave us a brief introduction about it. A narrative is a story which can be written from a first, second or third point of view. To tell that if a piece of writing is a narrative, we must check if the writing has a story, a setting, characters, a plot, a conflict and last but not least a point of view. Now, we can finally know the textual type of the book we are reading. Our teacher gave us a story"Flowers Of Algernon"and ask us to analyse the story clearly, using the six factors of vital importance in a narrative story. We had a little discussion regarding the six factors and how are they present in the story itself. Needless to say, we participated actively in this event and many of us provided and contributed suggestions and answers to the teacher. "Flowers of Algernon" is a story about a low-intelligent man named Charlie Gordon who undergoes a operation to triple his intelligence. Before, he was ostracized by his friends and bullied by them, hence his teacher, Miss kinnian had recommended him for the operation. However, he was still dumped by his friends as they were jealous for his high IQ.

I do think that it is extremely infair to Charlie. All he wanted was to make friends, but even with high and low IQ he still could not make friends. I think that it is really unfair.
