My Review of The Elephant Man

In my opinion, I think The Elephant Man was a really good movie. The movie had its sad moments, but there were also scenes that made you glad and happy for John Merrick.  For example, when John Merrick gets taken away from Bytes, he once again used John Merrick as a freak show to make some money, but John ends up collapsing and is later locked in a monkey cage. I think that was a very pitiful scene and it made me feel very sad for John Merrick and how he is so mistreated. But, when John Merrick is found again and back at the hospital, he receives a dressing kit, and he is so happy and thankful that it made me feel glad for him. There were some parts in the movie that I think were very slow and made me lose my attention, but overall I was intrigued by the movie.

My Name is John Merrick

Today, I was blessed. I was able to attend the theatre to watch Ms. Kendall's play. She very kindly, dedicated the whole show to me. I had never been able to live through such an amazing and honorable moment where everyone stood up, and applauded me. The faces of horror and fear I had caused so many times, were now smiling and looking at me with admiration. For once, I was not made a fool of. I was able to attend as a normal human being, not an animal, or a freak. This is all I ever wanted. I am fulfilled.

Welcome to My Nightmare

I, like many others, have quite a few fears. I fear spiders, cockroaches, basically most insects that look disgusting. And due to that fear, I have had nightmares before of being covered in never ending insects and I was so scared one time that I jumped off my bed and ended up sleeping on the floor trying to "escape" from the insects. I fear of being in the dark, with something or something else with me that I'm not aware of. I also kind of fear being alone in crowded places. I don't really FEAR it, but I hate it and feel extremely uncomfortable when I'm in that situation. But one of the main fears I have is being suffocated and locked in a very small space, with no way out.
