Peter the Wild Boy
I had a major paper due for one of my many English classes. I first thought to write about an experiment that was mentioned in a book called the City of Glass by Paul Auster. But then I realized that the topic was too broad. By doing more and more research regarding the experiment, I came across a topic that was mentioned in the text. It was specific enough to do my paper on it. Peter the Wild Boy. It was fascinating how fast I was able to find information on him and how many news articles that I found. He was a famous person that had no background. He was found abandoned in the woods when he was 12, and still they are finding more and more information on him.
In 2011, they were able to diagnose him with a genetic disorder called Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome. All from a painting. The very painting that is shown above. The internet has so much information out there that can either be beneficial or can be hazardous. It all comes down to what we choose to do with that information. For me, it has helped me to finish this paper in less than a couple of hours. For others, probably would take them less time to write my paper, but still I was able to get it done.
I love the internet, it can do so much for you when used correctly.
