My Name is John Merrick . . .

I was thrown into a cage next to many monkeys. They howled at me and tried to attack me. Then the wonderful people came to save me and put me on a boat going back home where I could see Dr. Treves again. Back home mothershead is such a nice person helping to take care of me. When I got back to the station a little boy started to follow me and did not me get away. I accidentally knocked over a little girl which only caused people to notice me and begin pursue me. I tried to lose them by going down a flight of stairs but they chased me to corner like if I were an animal. I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am a man.... a man. A guard was nice enough to bring me the rest of the way home where Dr. Treves... hugged me. I was back home and a few days later Dr. Treves and I went to one of Ms. Kendalls beautiful plays, such a wonderful lady she is. Later back home I completed my church
