Even if being chased by a car, an entire football team, Forrest used his integrity to pull himself out of tough circumstances. Without

    Watching the movie Forest Gump for the first time, it was difficult to categorize. Was it a drama? Was it s Comedy? Was it a war film? Was it a historical film? It really fit into all of those categories. It was an unconventional film about the history of America over 30 years, seen through the eyes of a mentally challenged man with an IQ below 65. It was a modern fable, a dreamlike fairy tale, on how to live one’s own life to the fullest. The movie was enhanced greatly by the use of voice-over narration. Forrest (Tom Hanks) participated in the action of the story, but also acted as the narrator. In the background of the narration, soft music was playing at times. The movie Forrest Gump, was filled with much detailed, essential information and multiple twists. There was not a visual way through action to advance the plot or characters through action. Voice-over narration was used, which allowed me to go inside the experience of the characters. Much of the movie’s humor came from Forrest’s voice-over narration. The story was narrated from a bus-stop bench by Forrest. The narration was in a third-person view, with what sounded like an Alabama accent. Forest unwittingly simplified major historical events and sometimes got them wrong. An example was when Forrest described the Ku Klux Klan. He described how they would dress up in bed sheets and ride around on their horses, acting like a bunch of ghosts or spooks. The voice of Forrest had a neutral tone to it. It allowed me to see Forrest’s side, but also allowed me to draw my own opinion. There was a scene in the movie where Forrest breaks out of his leg braces as he ran away from a pack of bullies. Forrest was clear in his narration, and never lost focus despite the intense action taking place in the scene. There was another scene in the movie where…

To begin, the quote written by Henry Thoreau, “If the law requires you to be the agent of injustice, then, I say, break the law” is essentially saying If following the law results in a wrong done to another person, then do not follow the law, and that morals from human to human come before government rules or laws resulting in disobedience.…

    Atticus Finch has integrity because of his tremendous courage. People who are not courageous often follow the ideas of others, but those who are courageous also have integrity because they are able to stand up for what is right even when the odds are against them. For example, the fact that he defends Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman, despite what everyone else thinks, shows that he has courage.…

    Mr Whitaker Essay

    • 1713 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Mr. Whitaker is an individual who embodies the characteristics of an ideal self-presentation, which is an image of how you wish to be seen by others (Albright 01/29/07). Therefore, the character is hardly honest and holds an interior mystery. In the case of Mr. Whitaker, he is a married man with two children and a successful career who finally reveals his secret that he is a homosexual. This long-kept secret reveals the reason as to why Mr. Whitaker is an example to the social theory of ideal self-presentation. I quote him when he said, "I did not want to hurt you or the kids, honey." Mr. Whitaker reveals that his posterior is a complete fraud, he did so because he did not want to hurt his family but much more hurt himself. He wished to hide his true identity as a gay man because he wished to be seen as the handsome husband with the perfect family. Also during another scene between Mr. Whitaker and his wife, he mentions that he would not be able to work, if his colleagues knew he was gay. At this point, the idea of an ideal self-presentation is unmistakably proven. According to the notes from Dr. Albright's lecture, people will present themselves as a different identity, due to job interviews, etc (01/31/07). With this in mind, Mr. Whitaker most certainly proved his rehearsed or fake identity, due to the conditions of the job he holds and continued to do so until his true identity is exposed, when his wife finds him kissing another…
