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.
