My Review of The Elephant Man

I first saw the Elephant Man with my dad when I was about 9, 10 years old. I remember watching some parts of the film, but some parts we watched in class seemed new to me. It's obvious I didn't really pay much attention when I was 9.  I never really understood the purpose of the movie or why John Merrick had to die at the end, but now that I look back I get it. The symbolism included in the movie really made me think back and reflect on the person John Merrick really was. I like how the movie makes one think about whether they are good people or bad people, do we really do things out of the kindness of our hearts or are we being selfish? I often find myself thinking about the answers to these questions. The Elephant Man has become one of my favorite movies because not only is the film good, but it was based on a true story. John (Joseph) Merrick really did exist and since this movie was based on such an amazing human being, it is a much watch!

MY name is John Merrick

Yesterday Ms. Kendall came to visit and it was splendid. She brought me a book by Shakespeare and it was quite amazing how she had memorized some of the lines. She recited a couple of lines and told me, I wasn't an Elephant Man, I was Romeo. When she told me this I felt proud to be who I was. I was different and knew people stared, but when Ms. Kendall said this all of that went away. She also gave me one of her photographs so that I could keep it in my room. I think I'm going to place her photography next to the cathedral I built. I am almost done with the cathedral it'll only be a matter of time. Ms. Kendall is really beautiful I'm glad she came to visit. I wish everyone were as nice and respectful as she. I hope Ms. Kendall visits soon, I like being around her.

Welcome to MY biggest fear

Towards the end of my junior year my brother decided he was going to take me out as an early birthday present. My brother told me he was going to take me to a One Republic concert and I was so excited! Although I will always remember this day as being one of the greatest nights of my life it was one of the worst as well. That day my brother and I got into a car accident and it was the worst thing I had ever experienced. I had never been in a car accident and when we got off the car I felt as though everything had happened so quick, but I was in such shock that I couldn't process everything that had gone on. Time seemed to be going so slow after it had happened and I just sat there trembling and crying even though we were all fine. I cannot describe the feeling of how scared I was when it all happened all I can say is that I felt numb inside. My biggest fear is getting into another car accident and something actually going terribly wrong.
