This is a true and tragic story. The main character is Merrick. He was called the Elephant Man because of his ugly look. I feel sorry for him. However, his life changed to meet Dr.Freaderick Treves. I think Dr. Freaderick is verdy kind because he helped Merrick and made him happy. ( )

The main character of this book is "Elephant Man." He looks like elephant of animal, his head and leg are very learge. He has no family and no friends. One day, he met Dr.Treves and he knows his hand is very beautiful. Then, the docter helps him and his life started changing.

I was moved this book. Before, I watched a woman like this man. She also has no friend and family. I think the most important thing is that we have to help like such a person. They are always suffering. I have to think about not only myself but also people suffering from illness. ( )
