A summary of the plot
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low I.Q. but good intentions. He is running through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His ‘mama’ teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, starts a ping-pong craze, creates the smiley, writes bumper stickers and songs, donates to people and meets the president several times. However, this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can only think of his childhood sweetheart Jenny Curran, who has messed up her life. Although in the end all he wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone.

The characters:
Forrest Gump: Forrest he has brown hair and eyes. Forrest is the main character in the story. Meaning he is telling the whole book through his point of view. Forrest is put down through out the story because people call him names such as idiot and retard, but that does not affect Forrest. He just ignores them all and proves them differently. Forrest is a very fast learner but not at school subjects. He learns how to play the harmonica, learns how to play chess very well, and even goes to a ping-pong championship. He has one love which is Jenny Curran.
Jenny Curran: Jenny is a secondary character in the story. She is smart outgoing person.Her and Forrest had known each other for a very long time,ever since they were kids.They are separated many times through the book but still manage to meet each other unexpectedly.
My favorite character is Forrest Gump because many people doubted Forrest and called him names and harassed him because he was not as smart as everyone else. But even though he was different from everyone else he did not give up and in the end fulfilled full of things and not everyone can survive it so he is my favorite character.
