Review the novel “Forrest Gump” by Winston Groom:

-I am usually in habit of reading books. Addition to books that offer me much


useful information, I also like novel books. I am in fond of it for some following
reasons.
-To begin with, Novel books bring me a great deal of portraying the character of
society and life. One of them is “Forrest Gump” which tells many emotion, go
deeper into the characters and bring yourself as you enter the world or personal
isues. Forrest Gump is the first person narrator of the novel. He announces
straightaway that he is an “idiot” with an IQ of 75. The book is written in an odd,
colloquial style meant to mimic the phonetics of Forrest’s Southern accent and
slow style of thinking. Forrest’s limitations do not stop him from having a life so
adventurous that is verges on cartoonishness. Once he leaves childhood behind,
he is constantly finding himself in the right place at the right time. It is revealed
that he is not only intelligent in some specialized ways, he is operating at the level
of genius.
- Regarding the character Forrest Gump, I appreciate his perspective on both the
things around him and the individuals who exist in parallel with him. I say that not
because I like that character, but rather because I sympathize and respect his
perspective in a positive way. Besides that, although there are still people who
want to exert that negative influence on Forrest Gump's people, thanks to Jenny,
she gave him more light. That's why two hurt people met each other and gave
each other the strength to light up this life.
- Every move takes place like waves crashing on the shore. Sometimes it will be
like small waves through gentle, emotional situations, unexpected meetings and
separations. But there were also big waves hitting the shore when experiencing
bullying at school, what war caused caused his teammate Bubba to die, Sergeant
Dan turned his back, lost the person he loved the most and in the end was losing
the light of my life Jenny.
- If asked, will that book make you unable to take your eyes off it until you finish
reading it? The answer is no because under the circumstances of the book, I feel
like everything that Forrest Gump went through and the way he expressed it
didn't make me lose myself in the story, but what made me finish reading this
book was only one reason is the way he still stands up and moves forward even
though he has an intellectual disability. That is the most prominent point in the
book.
- No matter how long the journey, there must be an end. The stopping point here
is the final scene of Forrest Gump and Jenny getting married and having children,
but then Jenny passed away due to HIV disease. Even though it was very painful,
there was still a light that lit him up that kept him going and succeeding.
-Another good point of it I want to mention about is the book recounts a
turbulent period in American history through the naive and pure perspective of a
person with only an IQ of 75. Forrest's carefreeness helps him overcome all the
trying events of his life and the evening solstice helps others rise up. I mean there
will be extremely negative things that suddenly come to us, but if we have many
ways of thinking in a positive direction, it will not be affected, which helps them
be more active in life.
-By and large, novel book is worth reading when we have time or want to do
experience many genres instead of watching movies. It is nice for everyone.
- I would definitely recommend this book implicit satirical style through the main
character's naive perspective contributed to Forrest Gump becoming a new
cultural icon of the 1990s. Gump là một chàng trai ngốc dễ thương, sẵn sàng cho
người khác mà không mong đợi được đền đáp. Đó cũng là giá trị nhân văn nổi bật
được chia sẻ nhất quán ở cả tác phẩm văn học và điện ảnh và khiến người đọc
cũng như người xem mãi hâm mộ nhân vật này.
