My Reading Journal 3 Group I 陳怡婷

I finished the book "Forrest Gump" in two weeks. This book is written by Winston Groom and retold by John Escott.Let me introduce the story.

One day when Curtis had to change a wheel on the car, I helped him.

"If you're an idiot," he said angrily, "how do you know how to do that?"

"Maybe I am an idiot," I said, "but I'm not stupid."

I was born an idiot, but I'm cleverer than most people think.

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

Forrest Gump is an unusual man who does a lot of unusual things.The story make me feel that it doesn't matter if you are clever or stupid, rich or poor, you can be anything you want to be. I am amazed that the writer can use only 1200 words to write such an interesting story. I didn't spend much time in reading English book because the midterm examination is coming. Therefore, I will read more books after that .
