My Name is John Merrick

My Name is John Merrick

            Today I was being observed, I was a total joke to the people. A person who works here in the hospital brought people to make a fool out of me. The crowd who was observing me like some kind of monster or animal actually paid the man just to get a good look at whom I am. They mistreated me, I’m not an animal, I’m a human being.  My heart was torn into pieces right when I was getting a bit comfortable feeling like a human being. Dr. Treves treated me so well that I had totally forgot about how it felt to be viewed as an animal. All those awful memories came back when the crowd was just looking at me in disgust and making fun of me due to my deformity. Why do I have to suffer through these experiences? I’m a human being too I shouldn’t be treated like an animal.
