The Clever Man

Kim Peeks, the clever man.

              Dear readers, this is our last story to complete tasks assigned by the lecturer. Our latest title is a clever man in the world. His name is Kim Peeks. He was born on November 11, 1951. He has a remarkable memory as can be given from the age of 16-20 months. He actually diagnose FG syndrome. He read books, memorized them then placed them on the shelf to show that he had finished read them. For him, the local library is Kim's favorite place in the world.

              Kim Peeks can remember everything that he has been read from the first word until the last word exactly like a book that have estimate 360,000 words. For him, he can read a book within ten seconds meanwhile we have to read at least 3 minutes.

              He reads the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye and will retain about 98% of it. He took 15 subjects, but he did not know how to solve math problems. According to an article in The Times newspaper, he could accurately recall the contents of at least 12,000 books.

              In 2008, he probably had FG syndrome which causes physical anomalies such as hypertonia (low muscle tone) and macrocephaly (an abnormally large head). On 19 December 2009, he was dead of a heart attack at the age of 58 years.

               In conclusion, we as students want to have a strong memory like him. If we have memory like him, we can pass the examinations easily. On the whole, we should emulate the attitude of diligent reading the book to increase our knowledge. Therefore, we need to make him as a role model to success in the future.
