The Struggles of Jenny from Forrest Gump

Forrest had to deal with problems in his relationship with Jenny on a regular basis. Every time a problem would arise within the relationship he would try his best to work it out. He adjusted well when relationship problems arose.

Winston walked down the sidewalk, a sense of apathy after his encounter with O’Brian in room 101 on several occasions, a sense of love; apathetic, emotionless love, for Big Brother. Winston did not remember what had happened in Room 101, nor how long he had been there for. Winston headed towards the park where he would meet the dark-haired girl he knew as Julia. Winston had an unexplainable emotion trapped inside his conscious, wanting to break free.

The relationship between Jenny and Forrest is initially looked at as Forrest’s savior, but Jenny also saw it as a way to escape her father when they were children, then later giving Forrest the role of safety net. He was always there when Jenny needed someone to lean on. She cares for Forrest very much and while she is kindhearted, she has also shown how selfish and self-destructing she is. By the end of her life she redeems herself by fulfilling Forrest’s dream to marry her while simultaneously leaving her son with his father to be taken care of.

Forrest Gump is a movie that follows a man throughout the story of his life. It starts out with Forrest Gump waiting at a bus stop when the bus arrives and a woman steps out and sits down next to him. He begins to talk to her and he offers her some chocolate.

From there he starts to talk about everything that has happened in his life that has led him to where he is now. He talks about meeting Jenny on his first day of school, his running getting him a football scholarship for college, enlisting in the army and meeting Bubba, getting a medal of honor, and playing ping pong against China.

Sometimes over the course of friendships things in there can change in any kind of way. Throughout the story, Jenny and Kate’s friendship has been changing every time that they are with each other. Jenny states that “every time Kate saw me lately she called me a baby” (Cabot, 33). And she was also told that “sometimes people just grow apart…” (Cabot, 38). Hearing these two statements both Kate and Jenny have just now started to think differently of their friendship. Jenny is starting to believe that ever since Kate have gotten into high school they have started to not talk to each other as much as they did back then. And just

While Jenny repeatedly rejects Forrest as her lover, she is romantically attracted to him enough to keep coming back into his life. After Forrest’s mother passes away Jenny comes back, saying she misses home and is here to stay. Even after leaving again, she comes back into Forrest’s life with a letter, inviting him to her Georgia home, which brings Forrest to the bus stop where he narrates his autobiography.

At first, Winston felt no true attraction to Julia, but in their second time making love, Winston felt the physical loyalty that is involved in relationships. Winston was in love with Julia and they had created a bond of loyalty together which is very dangerous to do so

Winston has an obsession with her after their first encounter, revealing she had made an imprint on his mind, which is the seed of his love for her. After making love with her, “At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive welled up in him” (Section 2 Chapter 1). This brief passage illustrates his growing affection for her along with the relinquishing of a primal desire

First of all, there were lots of examples throughout the novel that shows Jenny have the self-ability to think. According to pages 22 and 23, “ ‘Jenny is fur and too young to be thinkin’ about Shad or ary other young man,’ her father remarked quietly…. She was only fourteen, it was true, but she was as tall as Nancy and within two years as old as Ellen had been when she married Matthew Creighton. It was also true that she had her eye on Shadrach Yale, and all had been going well, too…” everyone that were related to the Creighton family knows Jenny was in love with Shad, during the dinner the family was teasing her,

What Winston needs to do to reach “greater lasting happiness” (Pursuing Happiness 186) is to focus in the good things and forget the “ungood” ones. It sounds like there couldn’t possibly be anything positive about living in that place, but Winston finds a special person named Julia, and they have memorable moments together and they trust each other. It is moments like this that can bring happiness to Winston and can make living in London less painful.

Later, Forrest receives the Medal of Honor, is present during the anti-war movement, plays a crucial role in Watergate, and finally becomes a multi-million dollar business tycoon.

Reading this novel, I felt sad. This is because of the characterization of Jenny Penny, who is Elly’s best friend. Jenny Penny comes from a broken home, her parents are separated. She does not have a father figure to look up to, except for her mother’s numerous boyfriends. To me, her mother is really still a child herself. As Elly said, Jenny Penny and her mother “lived in a temporary world of temporary men; a world that could be broken up and reassembled as easily and as quickly as Lego”, and “Jenny Penny had never known her father. She’d never been around a man who’d taught her about wood or fishing, or joy.” These quotes made me feel sad and sympathetic towards Jenny Penny. They made
