Answer:
“Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always.” - Samantha Shannon In the science fiction novel “Flowers for Algernon'' by Daniel Keys. Charlie a autistic adult, is given a surgery that is supposed to make him smarter. In “Flowers for Algernon'' the surgery has improved Charlie’s quality of life for example: In the short time Charlie was smart he made a major contribution to science, since the surgery made him more emotionally aware Charlie was able to see that he loves Miss Kinnian, and upon his return to Donnegan’s Plastic Box Company he sees that Joe Carp and Frank Reilly truly are his friends.
In the short period of time Charlie was smart he was able to make a major contribution to science. Charlie discovers the effects of the surgery on both him and Algernon. “The unforeseen development, which I have taken the liberty of calling the Algernon-Gordon Effect, is the logical extension of the entire intellectual speed-up. The hypothesis here proven may be described simply in the following terms: Artificially increased intelligence deteriorates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase.”(Progress Report 13 June 5) If Charlie wouldn’t have had the surgery he couldn’t have found this important discovery, which is beneficial information to psychologists and brain surgeons everywhere. Another side effect Charlie discovers is that death is an inevitable outcome of the surgery. “Algernon died two days ago. Dissection shows my predictions were right. His brain had decreased in weight and there was a general smoothing out of cerebral convolutions as well as a deepening and broadening of brain fissures.”(Progress Report 13 June 10) Since the results of the surgery had already been published it is unknown whether or not other surgeons had yet again performed the same surgery, but if his progress reports are read there is a chance nobody would die because of the surgery.
Since the surgery made Charlie more emotionally aware he was able to see that he loves Miss Kinnian. When Charlie asked Miss Kinnian to go to dinner with him he noticed features about her he didn’t see before. “I don’t understand why I never noticed how beautiful Miss Kinnian really is. She has brown eyes and feathery brown hair that comes to the top of her neck. She’s only thirty-four! I think from the beginning I had the feeling that she was an unreachable genius-and very, very old. Now every time I see her she grows younger and more lovely.” (Progress Report 11 April 28) Now that Charlie's mental functioning has improved it has also improved his emotional functioning, so he is now capable of feeling complex emotions such as being ashamed, nervous, or love. Another thing that was worth noting was that the thought of leaving Miss Kinnian made Charlie sad. “ ”You’ll see how different branches of learning are related. There are many levels, Charlie like steps on a giant ladder that take you up higher and higher to see more and more of the world around you. I can see only a little bit of that, Charlie, and I won’t go much higher than I am now, but you’ll keep climbing up and up, and see more and more, and each step will open new worlds that you never knew existed. (...) The thought of leaving Miss Kinnian made me sad. I’m in love with Miss Kinnian.”

Read this passage about Christopher Reeve.
Christopher Reeve was born on September 25, 1952, in New York City. His mother was a journalist, and his father was a professor. As a kid he played sports, did well in school, and liked acting. His passion for acting goes back to playing with his brother when they were little. Reeve acted in his first play at the age of nine. After attending college, taking acting classes, and acting in many plays and movies, Reeve landed his biggest role. In 1978, he played the title role in Superman. He received very positive reviews for his performance and starred as Superman in all the sequels. Reeve was soon acting as the lead role in dozens of movies after Superman. Once well-known, Reeve used his celebrity status for good causes, such as visiting very sick children through the Make-A-Wish foundation. He was also a track and field coach at the Special Olympics.
Besides acting, Reeve was also a licensed pilot and liked horseback riding. He learned to ride horses for a movie role, and he continued riding in his free time. Unfortunately, while riding one day in 1995, Reeve fell from his horse and became paralyzed from the neck down. Being confined to a wheelchair did not hold back Reeve from being socially active, and after many surgeries and rehabilitation, he decided to dedicate his life to helping people with spinal-cord injuries. He created the Christopher Reeve Foundation, which supports the improvement of the lives of people with disabilities and helps fund research to find a cure for paralysis. He was also politically active, working with senators to make sure that people with disabilities were treated fairly in the workplace. Reeve received many awards for his dedication to public service. He also wrote two books about his experiences, and a documentary was made about his life. Reeve passed away in 2004, but his legacy lives on today. He touched the lives of many people and showed us what it means to overcome extreme odds by never giving up.
Which fact would be most appropriate to include in a yearbook page about Reeve?
Reeve created a foundation to help people with disabilities.
Reeve spent time working with senators.
Reeve learned to ride horses for a role in a movie.
Reeve enjoyed playing with his brother when they were little.

1. Based on this document, how would you expect the US to treat Germany?
2. Why might the US feel differently toward Germany than France?
Answer:
The US to treat Germany
Explanation:
1. To end World War I a treaty (the Treaty of Versailles) signed by all nation who fought in it to gain peace. Wilson's Fourteen Points more idealistic and less harsh on German. He believed that Germany should not be accused of the war or punished too harshly. By humiliating harshly, Germany might not be able to control its economy and would bring chaos.
2. The United States feel differently toward Germany than France because they were not affected as France was in the war. France has always held a conflict with Germany being a neighbor country. With power, Germany has controlled some of the territories that once belonged to France. America felt different because its nation not destructed as it was the other side of the ocean.
