Forrest Gump
Have you ever had a question you wanted to ask a person that you might never meet? Have you ever wondered why a person did something that he was not expected to do? Well, I have, as a matter of fact wrote an essay about a person I want to meet, Forrest Gump. “Forrest Gump,” is a movie released on July 6th 1994; its actor is an individual named Tom Hanks. The movie is mostly about him narrating an autobiography of his whole life by a bus stop. Forrest Gump is a fictional character who has characteristics that many people wish to develop.

In one of the tents, Forrest saw a man hitting Jenny across her face; he steps forward with rage and starts punching the man in the face. Furthermore, when Jenny died, he bulldozed her father’s house down; her father who was under the influence of alcohol used to beat her brutally.
