Forest Gump

I liked how Scott introduced Forrest Gump in the first paragraph with some descriptive details and his own personal feelings.  It definitely grabbed my attention to keep reading, how exactly Scott was going to compare himself to Forest.  I think a lot of people can relate to Forrest and how he struggled to become accepted in society.  However I think Scott is writing mainly to those who have struggled with accepting their own physical appearance as if their appearance is what really matters.  His last paragraph drove the point home.  He states that, “each wanting “who he is” to be more important than “what he does.”  As if he was really saying, what you do and how you do it should be more important than what peoples’ perception is of you.   
 

After Forrest gets done running he is going to need some furniture to sit on.
