My Review on The Elephant Man


The movie was so well thought out, I really enjoyed it, and because it’s not like most movies we see today that all have one happy ending. The conflict of the story was ongoing throughout the whole movie and although it was a sad movie it was interesting and left us wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was such a sad movie that had us thinking why would John Merrick want to kill himself after he had finally obtained happiness and once he was finally socially accepted in a humane way. What I found most interesting was that it was based on a true story, according to Dr. Frederick Treves’ writings. The movie has a much deeper meaning to it that many of us probably would have never caught. David lynch had such a unique way of presenting religion to us. Through out the whole movie he was giving us a message.

My name is John Merrick


Today was such a memorable day. Ms. Kendall invited all of us in the hospital to go watch a musical play she composed. I had a great time, because I have always been interested in these types of musical plays. I have never been able to attend because no one has ever tried to be my friend and I have never been invited anywhere. I am so grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity everything was so beautiful the actors were dancing everywhere, the music was so loud and lively. I really enjoyed the costume designs and all the thought put in to it.

Welcome to my Nightmare


My biggest fear would have to be dying at a young age. It's something that scares me, because I wouldn't be prepared. My parents wouldn’t be prepared because I’m going to be young and I know it would be hard on them. I would also love to be able to live to a much older age to able to get everything I’ve always wanted. I would hate to die knowing that I’ve spent most of my life in school and never been able to travel which has always been my life goal. I’d like to know what it feels like to have kids of my own, a family of my own, and life of my own. I would also like to repay everyone for what they have done for me before we’re all gone, especially my parents. I’m also scared knowing that there might be something waiting for us once we are dead.
