My Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man was an extraordinary film that captured my attention through the character of Johm Merrick. It seemed unbelievable to make such abstract character fit it more than other normal looking characters. This film made me appreciate what i have and those that care for me because even the smallest things matter as Merrick demonstrated. When i saw Merrick getting attacked, i thought to myself "this type of treatment towards innocent people still carries on" and thus i began to see how the ugly people can too be the normal looking ones. The Elephant Man was a film that conveyed the message that ungliness lies within those who conceal it, which made me realize that  a book should never be judged by its cover. In addition, Merrick demonstrated that it is possible to live the most joyful times in the smallest amount of time because those that surround oneself make life easier. This film was amazing in showing who the real deformed creatures are, and the lack of color made each and every scene more dramatic, impacting, impacting, because i was able to appreciate the expressions of each character's face more deeply without having to get distracted by the color. In my opinion, the best scene was when John Merrick was being chased and got cornered at the train station, but suddenly he spoke up and his scream for himself was so awe-inspiring for me. Merrick had the courage to finally stop people from treating hin as a monster and his voice put those people in their place.    

My Name Is John Merrick

Tonight was one to cherish because the joy given to me by Dr. Frederick Treves made me immensly happy like i have never experienced. When Dr. Treves was helping me fix my suit for the play, which Ms. Kendall invited us to, I was delighted to have someone adequately prepare me for a play which i have never been to. I was content to hear Dr. Treves compliments after i was ready, he said i looked good which i never thought i would hear knowing how i looked after the night Porter showed me a mirror. Furthermore, i could hear the sincerity in Dr. Treves voice when he complimented me and i was so overwhelmed. Once at the theatre, the play began and my oh my was it spectacular, the people were acting and dacning oh so elegantly, i had never seen so many beautiful figures come together like that play demonstrated. When Ms. Kendall dedicated the entire play to me, it was like a warm feeling overpowered my body and i was extremely exicted. After Dr. Treves asked me to stand up, i was startled with fear from the crowd' possible reaction but they appauded me and cheer for what seemed to be an everasting amount of time. I was splendidly happy because i have been treated with disgust, hatred, and rage, but these oh so kind people offered me the feeling of care and love, something i will forever hold so close to my heart. This memorable night made me realize that not everything is abstract sounds, because the sounds of their clapping and cheering made a beautiful collision of music to my ears and heart.

Welcome to My Nightmare

I don't usually have nightmares very often, but there was once where i recall i was home with my brothers and my parents went out. The weather seemed to be quite spooky as well because it was extremely foggy and there was drizzle outside, but cold weather is my favorite except for this time around. So i was in my room watching t.v and all of a sudden i saw a man in a long coat and a hat that covered his face, my heart stopped as i recall when this figure appeared right outside my window. I felt like running to my brothers and telling them but i couldn't, all i did was stare at him in the eye and he stood silently for what seemed like hours. After i was able to control my body i began to slowly get up from the bed and approach the door but i recall he started screaming loud and i ran to my brothers. Once i told them what had happened they laughed, i was frightened as can be and felt like crying but then someone knocked on the front door and as i went to answer it, it turns out it was the same man only this time he said to me, "I'm here for you." i ran away and hid under my brother's bed, before hadn i tried waking up but i couldn't, and he entered the room but it was as if they could not see this complete stranger chasing after me, my heart was racing and after he inspected the room, the man left. I thought i was safe but then i felt someone pull me from under the bed and i appeared in a chair with spiders all over me, nothing more in this world that i hate other than spiders! Soon he was laughing and placed me in a tub which seemed endless and the water was extremely dark blue, i recall seeing sharks and ever since i saw the movie Jaws when i was about 8 years old i fear dark waters. So the shark began to swim towards me and as i saw his jaw open wide in front of my face i tried screaming, of course i forgot i was underwater and i was so scared about being eaten alive that i woke up screaming according to my mom. i clearly remember her telling me that it was 2 am and i explained to her my horrible dream to which she only answered, "oh that's nice, go back to sleep" I had the most serious "really?!" face after hearing her response.
