The Elephant Man was disfigured. He got put in a freak show. People payed money to laugh at him. He had lumps on his face. He got very sad and he yelled at people. He had a very lonely life. He wanted to escape and run to a place where no-one can find him and he wanted to hurt people that tease him. No-one could cure his lumps in those days so he had to hide because he was different and people stared at him and in the end he just died.
