Introduction

Recently，I have read a novel Forrest Gump》. After reading it，I have some thoughts. Now，let me share them with you.

Forrest Gump, a good-hearted young man from Alabama in the USA. He wins a medal for being very brave inthe Vietnam war and meets the President of the United States of America. He becomes a football man, a film star, a businessman and he goes into space. And his best friend is an ape called Sue!

There are 12 chapters in this novel. In chapter 1，Forrest Gump went to an ordinary school，some children often laughed and ran away from him. But one girl Jenny didn't and sometimes she walked home with him. They became good friends. Later，Forrest Gump went to a new high school，with the help of Coach Fellers，Forrest Gump became a football player.

In chapter 2，when Forrest Gump went to the university，he lived in a room with a man called Curtis. The man was unfriendly，so Forrest Gump moved his bed to another room. Later，in his new room，Forrest Gump found a young man who liked playing harmonica，his name is Bubba. Finally，Forrest Gump could also play it very well，which made Jenny very surprised.

In chapter 3，Forrest Gump took part in an important game which Coach wanted them to win . However，they didn't win it in the end. At the university，Forrest Gump wasn't clever enough at the lessons and there was nothing that anybody could do about it，so he went home.

In chapter 4，after Forrest Gump left the idiot school，he joined the army and went to Vietnam to fight in the war. In Vietnam，Forrest Gump met his good friend Bubba.

In chapter 5，Bubba and Forrest Gump decided that they could get a shrimp boat when they got home again and catch shrimp and make a lot of money. Unfortunately，the jungle was very dangerous，and Bubba was dead，the shrimp business idea was dead with him.

In chapter 6，Forrest Gump learnt from a man who sold shrimps how to catch shrimps with the net. Latter，he went back to America and won a medal for being very brave in the Vietnam war and met the President of the United States of America.

In chapter 7，when Forrest Gump got a ticket for Boston and he met Jenny in the club. Jenny had a boyfriend and she invited Forrest Gump to stay with them.

In chapter 8，after Forrest Gump went back to Washington，he was put in a special hospital for idiots. The doctors decided to send him on a journey into space with a woman and an ape Sue. Forrest Gump and Sue became best friends.

In chapter 9，Forrest Gump started to arm-wrested with many people in the bar and made some money. However，Jenny didn't like this and left Forrest Gump in the end.

In chapter 10，Forrest Gump took part in a big chess tournament with an old man Mr. Tribble. They won the game and made ten thousand dollars.

In chapter 11，Forrest Gump went home again. He started his shrimp business with his mother，Mr. Tribble，Curtis，Sue and Bubba's father. At the end of the year，they had thirty thousand dollars.

In chapter 12，when Forrest Gump was playing with some people in the park，he met Jenny and a little boy. After Jenny told Forrest Gump that the little boy was their son，he was very amazed and happy. After that，Forrest Gump phoned Mr. Tribble and told him to give some of his money from the shrimp business to his mother and some to Bubba's father. “Then send the rest to Jenny and little Forrest” he said.

In my opinion，Forrest Gump is an unusual man who does a lot of unusual things. Millions of ordinary Americans liked the novel. They felt Forres t Gump‟s story was also partly a story about themselves and about America from the 1960s to today. Forrest Gump lived the…American Dream‟. It doesn‟t matter if you are rich or poor, you can be anything you want to be.

That's all for this. Thank you！
