Review of The Elephant Man

When we first started watching the movie I was not interested at all. I thought the movie was boring and long. But as time passed by, we, as a class, started dissecting the movie. There were parts of the movie that I had failed to see. I am fascinated by how much detail there is in the movie. How they used the perfect sound for the image presented was very interesting to see.

When the elephant man was being ridicule by the night porter, I was angered. It was sickening to think that the real John Merrick had actually gone through that and probably much worse.

I liked how at the end of the movie, we went back and saw the beginning of the movie.

I had not seen how John Merrick’s mother was sexually assaulted.

Overall, I enjoyed watching the movie. I will someday watch the movie in one run; not like how we saw part by part in class. If I do that, I think I will enjoy it much more. 

My Name is John Merrick.

I am very fortunate to have people that care about me look after me. Today Bates locked me up in a cage. I was very scared because I did not do anything wrong.  I am tired of being treated like I am an animal. Wish he could understand that I am human and I need to be loved, just like everyone else does.  I miss my home in London. Luckily, my friends helped me escape that cruel place. I’m on my way to London now. I cannot wait to see Doctor Treves again. I really enjoy his company.

It is my second day back. I am really happy that my friends back in France liberated me. 

I hope that I’m able to finish my project of the cathedral. I think once I am finished with it my soul cold rest at peace. I wish my mother was still here so she would be able to see what I have 

Welcome to My Nightmare lol

One nightmare I remembering having is that I was drowning. I was in the middle of a big lake. When I looked down, I saw a black bottomless pit.  I was so terrified because I did not know what inhabit that dark place. Also the fact that it was stormy that day did not help ease the fear I felt.  Its strange that I even remember feeling cold.

So I gave up on trying to stay afloat.  I just let the icy cold water fill my lungs.  Soon afterwards I woke up shivering. It was probably four in the morning. 

I couldn’t go back to sleep. Just remembering the deep black body of water made me shiver. I am terrified of dark unknown places. I am scared because I do not know what could be hidden behind the dark shadows. I do not know if I will ever get rid of this fear.
