Simple Man


SIMPLE MAN

"My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.'" Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is a fictional person who was a very simple man but he has good intentions. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam and made friends, he also won medals, started a tennis craze, and creates a famous shrimp boat.

I like this quote because it’s true you don’t know what you will get out of life. To me it makes a lot of since because when I was a kid I would always poke a hole in the bottom of the chocolates to see what flavor they were. Too bad life weren’t like that it would be great if we could poke a hole in things to see how everything in our life would turn out.

I love this quote not only because I loved the movie, but because it is so true. Even if you try to plan your life step- by- step, it usually does not go how you had it in mind.

I liked this quote because I liked the movie and it is very true. Life is that way. We never know what we are going to get, but I believe if we learn from the experiences in our lives it makes us stronger.
