My Review On The Elephant Man


I believe the elephant man was an amazing movie. The movie was full of symbolism that was represented in such a remarkable artistic vision. The movie was so inspiring to watch because I felt it was so emotional and connected to the audience's emotions. I felt like the writer and the director of the movie successfully achieved one of the greatest movies made. The movie to me, made me feel like judgment is something that always occurs whether you are a "freak" or just an ordinary person. I felt like it demonstrated that people will always judge you by what you look like and not by whom you are. I think that the movie really highlighted what an inspiring person John Merrick was and that even though he was labeled as an outcast due to his phenotype he was still a human being. The movie is very moving and it is not something I regret watching.

My Name Is John Merrick ...

Today was quite wonderful.  My day went very well with Dr. Treves, we went out for ice cream and waffles. Not too many people stare at me anymore. I think people are finally beginning to understand that my physical attributes have nothing to do with who i really am. I loved when Dr. Treves took me to the opera. It was marvelous and exciting. It was such a distinct opportunity for me and it was quite remarkable. I appreciate Ms. Kendall making me feel welcome and dedicating the whole show to me it was a really nice gesture. Also Dr. Treves has been incredible towards me. He never makes me feel like a freak and he makes me feel sort of normal. I know that i wont ever be completely normal but it makes me feel better to feel somewhat accepted into society. i really just want to be normal and i hope someday people will accept me for who i am. until then this is be John Mmmmerrick.

Welcome to my nightmare ..

To be scared is to be afraid. To let something control your life without being able stop it. I believe everyone is scared of something. From spiders to ghosts to heights to scary clowns. For one reason or another people get scared of things. Maybe it's because sometime in your life you've had a horrible experience with one of these things or maybe it is because it is just a frightening idea to you. I believe that fears can be overcome but not always completely. I myself find to be scared of the paranormal occurrences that happen and simply have no explanation. I don't think it's fear mostly i think it's more curiosity that have to find out what's really going on. Many people are scared of death. I think it's the whole idea of death being a painful experience that haunts them and not so much not being able to breathe anymore. I also do not find myself to be scared by death. I think death will come sooner or later and there is nothing to do to stop it. I think there are things you're just going to have to live with and to live in fear is not to live at all.
