4.In London of the 19th century, a young man was made to the show in the show booth.
His name is Joseph Merrick. His face was naturally ugly.
His head was very big, the head didn’t have much hair, and there was another bag of brown, dirty skin at the back of it. His skin came down in front of his face.
It is difficult to walk for him.
One day, Dr Frederick who is surgeon was interested to him.
And he takes care of Merrick in his hospital’s attic.
In first, he was frightened to the person, but he gradually opened the mind during relations with a stage actress.
So he came to start being related with others.

5. I was surprised because this story was a true story.
This book says that Merrick wasn’t any illness, but today, the fact that he was a patient of Neurofibromatosis type 1.
I want to see the movie based on this story.
