Within the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn there is much violence that takes place. Most people without reading the book would think that it is about just a young Missouri boy that found much violence throughout his time out and about traveling up and down the Mississippi River.

“The Run” is a sonnet I wrote to showcase the theme of resilience in Too Big to Fail (TBTF) by Andrew Ross Sorkin. In TBTG Sorkin mainly focuses on the life and work of Henry Paulson, legendary, former U.S Treasury Secretary, during the Great Recession.

In fact, the first example of it begins on the second page, during Widow Douglas’s attempt to educate Huck on Religion. “Then she told me all about the good place and the bad place, and I said I wished I was there” (Twain 2).

While the Vietnam War is not the focal point of the movie, Forrest’s story of the war dominates the first phase of his life, characterizing this section of the movie as war genre. At basic training, Forrest both challenges and embraces the idiot label that has been attached to him, as he excels in his exercises but is also considered to be one of the dumbest soldiers his commanders have ever seen.
