The first thing to say about this book is that it was pretty hard to read.
Southern-amarican is''''nt the easiest dialect to understand and the grammar is so comfusing becous it''''s incorrect all the time, it''''s pretty anoying in the beginning but you get used to it.

Forest Gump is a guy that doesn''''t have it so easy in his life.
He has some kind of mental retarded (in a cute way) He''''s very kind and he really cares about his loved ones.
His special love is a girl named Jennie that is a big part of his entire life.

When forest starts middle school he has to begin at a school for mental retardations and he''''s not happy about it. He calls it "school for fools".
But after a while he joine the football team even if he really don''''t know how to do it he is a great success. He has been told that “if you get the ball run to the other side”. After school he goes to Vietnam and fights in the war and he gets the medal of honor.
In the story we also follow him throuh when he become a champion in pingpong in Chaina and when he studing at Harvard for a while. He also becomes a professional wrestler and he meets the president.

And when I got there, I thought maybe I''''d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I''''d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that''''s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I''''d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I''''d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going. "
