He is not beautiful and children run away from him. People laugh at him, and call him 'The Elephant Man'. Then, someone speaks to him - and listens to him! At the age of 27, Joseph Merrick finds a friends for the first time in his life. This story a true and tragic story, it has been made into a famous film. I write this because I really like and admire the main character of this story, Joseph Merrick. I learned this story during school and this story is very sad. This story was created by Tim Vicary.
