My Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man, directed by David Lynch, is an emotional film about the hardships of an unlucky man named John Merrick. John Merrick was a man with severe deformities, because of various diseases that he acquired since childhood. Merrick was brought back to a state where he could speak again without fear of what others will do. This film has shown that people who do not look like the ideal person are not freaks, but those who do not follow basic morality are the real freaks. Merrick, seriously malformed from head to toe, is a generous and humble man, who does not complain or is rude to anybody, even with all the nightmare like events that had happened to him throughout his life has changed this man, making him not a freak. But those who have abused Merrick both physically and physiologically are the real freaks in life.

My Name is John Merrick

Another day in the life, I have been showed off the the people as an animal, but when has not that happened? Am I an animal? Or are they? I did not deserve a life like the one I am in, I never asked for it. The cold air breezing against my face as Bytes shows me to the curious crowd. I can not even think of what goes on through their head. They all just look in shock from my face and body tumors, and they not even ask if I am happy. Will my life get any better as each day passes? Likely it will not, for I ca not change my figure or anything. I could end it here, just sleep like a NORMAL person. Should I? No, I am a normal person, the fact that the way that I look does not mean I am a monster. I am a respectful, and caring man. I AM NORMAL.

Welcome to my Nightmare

Once i was for into a deep sleep. I was strangely in my bed still asleep when I felt something breathing on my neck. I knew exactly what it was, but I did not want to confront the monster. Long and thin with pale white skin, with a long wide smile on its face. "Turn around", the monster said. I stayed in the bed for about a minute, until i finally turn around and i switch locations to a place tat can not recall. I was so dearly frightened by the monster that i had faced a few minutes earlier. I didn't know what to do so I had the instinct to go to my mother, because I wanted somebody to care for me while I was in danger. The from the back of my ear i heard,"I'll find her first". I was in a moment of panic to  find my mother. I ran as fast as I could, but seemed to go nowhere. I turn and I'm back to where i live near my bed. I hear my mother say in Spanish, "Come help me with the dishes." I went thinking that I was awake, done with he nightmare, but then the room turned black. My mother was not present but the monster was in place with me in the room. I was bursting in tears from fear and I just remember the room shifting into a park. I was on the floor just drenched in tears from not being able to find my mother, just then I had given up, knowing that i will not find her. The world started to shake and i woke up. My mother told me to get up and get ready for school, but when i woke up i just hugged my mom as hard as i could, in tears from the dream i had just experienced. She told me, "What wrong?". I just replied, "I'm scared of losing you."
