Recommended: Forrest Gump (novel).

Another important event that happens in the film is that Forrest gets bullied. There are two similar scenes in particular that stand out. One of the first ones happens in the beginning of the film when Forrest gets onto the bus to go to school. The boys on the bus don’t want to share a seat with him, but Jenny essentially sticks up for him and tells him he can sit with her. Another time it happens is when he’s going to the army camp. Again, he’s refused a seat by some of the guys, but Bubba allows him to share a seat with him. In doing so, an important part of interpersonal relations is shown. Interpersonal relations have been proven to be a basis for social support and that becomes especially clear after these two events (citation 9-1b). Forrest

    Does anyone really like to be stereotyped? Does anyone want to be looked at and automatically judged just because of the way they look, by their skin color, their hair type, or even the type of clothing they wear? Finding Forrester is a film that in my opinion perpetuates stereotypes. The entire film is based on significantly different racial opinions, opinions of different writing styles and stereotyping of different people in general.

  • Essay On Folks In To Kill A Mockingbird

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the citizens of Maycomb County are treated in a specific way because of who they are. In the novel Jean Louise Finch, or Scout, could not see the differences between “folks”. Scout makes the statement “I think there is just one kind of folks, folks.” (Pg. 304). By saying this, she is stating that it doesn’t matter who you are, in the end everyone is just human beings and can not be anything more. Discrimination in the novel is addressed when Aunt Alexandra would not let Scout be friends with Walter Cunningham, how Bob Ewell hates black people, and when the jury made Tom Robinson guilty even though they know he is innocent.

    Harper Lee’s masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird, wreathed in racism, innocence, and ignorance, explores the concept of imprisonment. The consequences of extended confinement continually fill the pages of this twentieth century novel. Confined by his moral biases, Atticus Finch, Maycomb’s town lawyer, helps the less fortunate: the social outcasts. As a result of the overbearing, emotionally and physically brutish father, the town’s resident ghost, Boo Radley, suffers exclusion from the rest of society. The Black American community, reflected through the trial of Tom Robinson, suffers under the prejudice of Alabama’s racist white population. The social walls of Maycomb County create impenetrable confines that victimize every resident of the town.

  • Analysis of The character Jenny Curran from the Movie Forrest Gump

    1625 Words  | 4 Pages

    The character Jenny Curran from the movie Forrest Gump, had a tough life from the very beginning of the movie throughout to the end. During the movie, most parts were assumed and not actually said. For example, as a child she was physically abused as well as sexually abuse, however, it isn’t said, a scene of her with dirty ripped clothes and older Forrest narrating says “her father was always touching and kissing her and her sister” that implies that her father was sexually abusing her. Jenny’s father was not only abusive but an alcoholic and neglected the care of Jenny. Throughout the rest of the movie, Forrest is always there to support and love her, and the detrimental decisions she makes and the different paths she endeavors, inevitably catch up with her in the end. In this essay, one of the main points we see by Jenny’s character are all of the metaphors between what she says and the advice she gives to Forrest, for example, to run from danger and her own constant behavior to fun away from whatever she is afraid of. Jenny Curran will be the focus observation and personality study. Although the main character in this film is Forrest Gump, we are able to see the trials Jenny’s incurs and how it develops her personality. The main idea of this essay is to look at Jenny’s life and find the foundation for what her personality was build on and all of the influences of change throughout her life.

    Forrest’s IQ is significantly lower than the average person’s and as a kid, it restricts him from going to a normal school. Even though it is not him who creates the opportunity to have a proper education, when he is given the chance he makes the most out of it by graduating high school, and going further to attain a college degree. Academics are not the only part of school that pose a challenge to him; Forrest has to put up with exclusion as well as verbal and physical abuse. Even though it is not easy for Forrest to get along with others, he is able to get through his social hindrances by finding someone special named Jenny. She loves him, looks out for him, and through the bullying Forrest ends up finding great happiness with his one special girl.

    Scout is correct when she says “Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.” Scout is implying that when Boo Radley left those things in the knot hole, Scout and Jem just took out of the tree and never really thought of giving an act of kindness or some gift(s) back. When the least they could’ve done was give an act of kindness back too Boo. This goes for anyone if you are given something out of kindness you should give kindness back to them. Similar to when it rains, water is evaporated, which make clouds, then it rains onto earth. Which is raining its kindness that

Friends keep you going after you’ve been kicked down, and help you get back up. Twain from beginning to end exhibits the pure relationship between Jim and Huck in contrast to Huck’s own pap.

    The key coming of age scene I am going to analyze is the jailhouse scene where the children run up next to Atticus when a mob of people show up with weapons. This scene uses voice, setting, and imagery to show the coming of age of Jem and Scout when Jem disobeys his father and Scout uses her words instead of her fists.

  • Family Dynamics In To Kill A Mocking Bird

    “You can choose your friends but you sho’ can’t choose your family, an’ they’re still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge ‘em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don’t.” -Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird. Family is a group of people related by blood. How appropriate since blood is a thick sticky substance like glue and glue holds things together. However, family can be a source of great difficulty. “Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald. Our first example of family on this earth are Adam and Eve with their two sons Cain and Abel. In Genesis 4, we see where Cain slew Abel. No wonder those of us who come from dysfunctional families do not have warm, fuzzy feelings toward some of our relatives. Of course, we know that this has not been God’s intentions. Paul tells us, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with promise: ‘that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’ And

    On December 3, 2016, I had the privilege of interviewing two credible members of Troop 1: Scoutmaster Phillip Proctor and current troop member Ryan Young. Phillip Proctor, Troop One’s newest elected Boy Scout leader, sat leaning forward in the wood folding chair with his left hand grasping his chin, while simultaneously keeping a watchful eye on the meeting activities in the next room. He did not look very different than usual. The right sleeve of his tan uniform was tattered and torn after countless camping trips with the troop accompanied by the wild, portentous weather. He frequently glanced down at his wristwatch due to the fact he has a tendency to become anxious when leaving assistant Scout leaders in charge of twelve young men. Unlike

    Charles R. Swindoll, evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher, once explained, “Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.” Swindoll explains that no one is born prejudiced; merely you learn it as a character trait in which becomes embodied in you. The ideas and feelings that people who learn prejudice experience often shape how they act and talk in the future. These prejudiced people have remained in power since Harper Lee’s setting in To Kill a Mockingbird and continue to be dominant compared to others today. Harper Lee’s message in To Kill a Mockingbird about the impact of prejudice that was shown by prejudiced people was extremely critical and similar to the problems in society
