The projects that where about topics from “The Elephant Man” book, such as Freak shows, Deformations, really made me understand how people can be mistreated when they are different from other people. How people can be so cruel to them because they are afraid of them, or want to make money out of them, treating them like animals. The projects really taught me about the diseases that cause those deformities. Though I still couldn’t understand why people where so cruel to those people they called “Freaks.” Freaks today are not mistreated as they where in the 19th century, and some are quite popular. They are not called freaks of their deformities, but of their different looks. For example “The Lizard Man” he split his tongue in 2 parts.

I thought the projects where well done. They had lots of information about their topic, and always had supporting facts. The projects had lots of pictures as examples of the deformations and such. They had examples of real people, or history facts that stated what they where talking about. The projects where visually animated, which made them interesting to watch. Every topic was clear and very well explained. Some projects had compressions like the one about Freak shows; it had a section about the 19th century freaks and today’s freaks. The project about the deformation diseases had examples of different diseases which caused the deformations. I thought all the projects where well made and presented, which taught me a lot.
