3.Forest Gump: Life is Unknown




"My mama always said life is like a box of chocolate" I never understood that quote when I was litte. So I watched the movie again now, it make sense to me. Forrest Gump is a life and time story of Forrest Gump his accomplishments, his battles and grief. When my father bought a VCR this was one of the first movies he bought on tape. Anyway looking at Forrest Gump you see how the world was against beside his mama. It hit home when I was little when the teachers said "I was bad" or "Your a problem child" my mama would call me unique. Clearly I'm something if I graduated from Howard University that proves I beat the odds those teachers set for me. I see myself in Forrest Gump when one thing is over he doesn't worry about the next plan for some reason he just fall into the next successful thing in his life. I felt that's how my life been I would fall into the next best thing from Howard University, to my major and next post grad. I feel confident everyday that my life will be in lights saying directed by. IZUNNA ENYINNAH or Starring IZUNNA ENYINNAH. The one thing Forrest Gump showed me that you have to keep fighting no matter what happens. I lost a good friend because something happened I said words that weren't nice,but I'm not going to give up on getting my friend back. Moving on Forrest says his famous line "Life is like a box of chocolate" I felt that way about my life. In a box of chocolate you see all these different shades of chocolate and in each chocolate there is a different flavor. Flavors such as mint, peanut butter, caramel almonds , nuts and cherry. My favorite are peanut butter ,caramel and nuts. I can honestly say peanut butters chocolate in my life are my friends Adanna, Jason Will, Amber, Kristen P, Pierre, because its so rare to find people like a peanut butter in your life. My caramel people are ,Nnamdi, Val, Lepolian, Alexis there hard to understand , but sweet at the end. Then Brittney e mint chocolate would have to be Mileka and Chris. The reason I say that is because when you put one in your mouth its a rough chocolate taste until you get to the center the taste is refreshing. My least favorite is cherry its this one person I went to Howard with left that nasty taste in my mouth like cherry. Always in someone's business always pointing out someone's flaws. Never could take the time to look at the mirror. That was my cherry I don't want to mention his name. Looking at life its unknown, you never know the people who come into your life and that's point blank, kinda like a box of chocolate. You know there are peanut butter and mint flavors but you will never know when you run into a cherry.
