Am I a Gorilla?

by Joe Conard 42

Most of my friends tend to call me “Mighty Joe.” That nickname “Mighty Joe” came from a Disney movie about a huge 15-foot gorilla. When I realized my friends were calling me that, I thought they were just calling me that because I have dark skin. However, I was wrong and Mighty Joe’s personality is almost same as mine. For instance, we both are very big and tall. We both are aggressive and we love to be adventurous. So I guess they’re right anyway and I like that name, “Mighty Joe" because I share similar personalities with a gorilla.

I'm big, tall and resemble body size like a gorilla. When my mom gave birth to me, I was a huge baby. I am too big and tall I have a hard time sitting anywhere, hard time finding shoes, and hard time finding clothes to last for a while. Currently, my body size is almost equal to Shaq, famous NBA player for Miami Heat. Shaq and I share similar body frame. Gorillas are big because they were born huge and that’s a fact of their kind.

I walk like I’m bullying and showing off. I think everybody is afraid of me and I think I’m cool. I scare other students because I look tough. I was born and raised in Philadelphia. My “street-wise” attitude says the same and that’s why people are scared of me! Gorillas walk like they are showing off and bullying. Gorillas can scare other smaller animals because of their huge size.

I love to be adventurous. I tend to go out to escape from my mom or family. I like to going out with my friends to the mall or the store. Gorillas love to be adventurous while he looks for food or females. Sometimes they are hanging out by themselves, walking around in the jungle or chillin' somewhere.

Now you know I’m "Mighty Joe." I am big & tall, adventurous, and aggressive like a gorilla.
