  2. Definitions • Subplot • A minor plot that relates in some way to the major story. • Parallel Episode • The repetition of certain elements or events in the plot.

  3. Subplot • There are four subplots within Flowers for Algernon: • Charlie & Algernon • Charlie & Ms. Kinnian • Charlie & his doctors • Charlie & his co-workers and/or friends • Within each subplot is the potential for a parallel episode…

  4. Parallel Episodes • Charlie races Algernon • Charlie loses the “amazes” • Charlie wins the last race = shift (or change) in parallel episode • Charlie parties with co-workers • Charlie becomes drunk; co-workers laugh and play jokes on him • Charlie is tricked into drinking; realizes his co-workers are not friends

  5. Parallel Episodes • Charlie and the doctors • Charlie takes “Raw shok” tests. • Prior to surgery - thinks they’re fun, but becomes frustrated when he can’t find the hidden pictures • Post-surgery - Charlie is afraid at first because he feels doctors are trying to trick him, but is pleased when he imagines bats tugging and sword fighting. • Parallel episodes DO NOT have to be identical; the outcomes can differ.
