My Review of the Elephant Man

In the Elephant man we see the life of a man come to life. The story of John Merrick a man who suffered horrible deformities that led him to be abused and ridicules. We also see the difference in lifestyle that his life takes thanks to Dr. Frederick Treves. I personally think that the Elephant man was one the best movies I have ever see. It inspired me to be a better person and to not judge people by the way they look but by their actions and personalities. It has taught me that people are afraid of what they don't understand sadly John Merrick had to first handedly be exposed to the horrors of society. In this movie I particularly enjoyed the relatability of John Merricks life to that of Christ’s. The use of biblical symbols made the storyline and the actual facts stand out and make understand that there is always the good and the bad and that good people can be bad during certain circumstances in the same bad people can be good. 

My Name is John Merrick

Today was one of the happiest days of my life I was visited by Ms. Kendall she was so beautiful I never thought a woman of her stature would ever see me as anything more than an elephant man. She brought me a book on Shakespeare. I always enjoy reading books it helps me escape. No matter how wonderful the writings are I cant get the kiss Ms. Kendall gave me out of my mind I am so glad to have gained a new friend just like Dr. Treves. I am forever thankful to him for his help in allowing me to lead a somewhat normal life and for rescuing me from Bytes. I do miss the Bytes’ boy I remember his wanting to help when things got rough and wonder if I could ask Dr. Treves to help the boy gain an education. I feel like having a bit of reading to fit in before bed so I must admit that I no longer wish to write

John

Welcome to my Nightmare....Bwa ha ha !!

My fear of the dark is irrational and I know it. I have always been fearful of it and what it hides. I feel like one day its going show me something terrible. The weird thing is that I am not afraid of the darkness once my eyes adjust to the light it's the few seconds in which I am blinded that make me panic. This has been presented to me in the shape of numerous nightmares and every time I go to sleep. When I was little I remember having a recurring nightmare in which we lived in the future after the end of the world (weird I know) and that we had to place a strand of hair exactly in a key to not be ripped apart. It was a weird nightmare complete with monsters and death but I didn't shake it until I was well into my teenage years. I remember waking up in the dark and feeling even more scared. It probably didn't help that one of my favorite shows often depicts psychopaths murdering people at night and in their sleep.

Compassionate science

When I grow up I want to be able to go and help people through medicine. To be able to go to far away places that have been ravaged by war and help people get their health back. I am a very compassionate person but sometimes I feel like its not enough because of day-to-day selfishness. Personally I feel that it’s not fair we have all these commodities and that is why I want to bale to spread health. I’ve worked with the Interacts and I’m thankful I have. It showed me the things I should be grateful for. It has taught me compassion and its what drives me to become a physician. To help people in need weather by dispensing food and water or through free medical care. I’m not in it for the money I never have, sure there are some perks but the biggest would be being able to see the faces of the people I would help.
