In the movie "Forrest Gump" there are some boys who bully him for having leg braces on and start chasing him on their bikes.

Gimpel the Fool is a short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer which explores the idea of the holy fool or wise fool, an archetype of literature that is written about quite frequently. Another work that examines this archetype is that of the Academy award winning movie, Forrest Gump. These two works share many similarities that point out important characteristics of society and human interactions which are made most poignantly by Gimpel and Forrest’s content attitude, veiled virtue, and profound wisdom. Gimpel and Forrest often seem to be foils of the characters around them.
When children are moved around so much, they are unable to keep much-needed emotional attachments. When their attachments are broken so often, children begin to gain trust issues and they will refuse to connect with others. Attachment disorders can easily form, and the more caregivers that a child has, the more likely the child will gain trust issues or attachment disorders (Harden 34). Along with trust issues, children can form behavioral problems due to constant placements as well (Doran and Berliner
I choose to write an essay on a movie called “Forrest Gump” which was released in 1994 featuring Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, Sally Field as the mother of Forrest Gump. This movie is about “Forrest Gump” who has a low I.Q. and had braces in his legs (which wasn't his permanent disability through out the movie) he was able to walk and run like ordinary person, but he have feelings same as the other people have. Forrest Gump's mother who tells him that “ Life is like a chocolate,you never know what you going to want.” Firstly, the day he got his first pair of his shoes which his mom named it as his magical shoes. They were walking back to home after they visited doctor's clinic and on the way to their home, his shoes get stuck in the seweage drain

When Harper Lee was asked about her book, To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM), she stated “it’s a love story, plain and simple.” Despite the lack of romance between couples, Harper Lee’s statement couldn’t have been truer. TKAM features a different type of love than most love stories, a love called agape. Agape is love for all people, and instead of typical romantic actions, it is shown by treating everyone nicely, regardless of what they do. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote six pillars of nonviolent resistance which show both how to exhibit agape and nonviolently protest.
According to Sophie Bloom, M.S.L.Ac, by voicing their concerns and their attitudes towards things in the world, parents greatly influence their child and their child’s development. Therefore having a present and positive parental figure while growing up is extremely important for a child or a creature's development. The lack of affection and/or abandonment of a child can also cause severe consequences later in the child's life. According to Judith E. Carroll, Tara L. Gruenewald , Shelley E. Taylor, Denise Janicki-Deverts , Karen A. Matthews, and Teresa E. Seeman “The most toxic childhood stressors are those that occur in the absence of emotional support from a caregiver.” The lack of a parental figure and the absence of emotional support can greatly affect a child's life it can be considered one of the most harmful occurrences in a child's life.
Failure to develop trust will result in fear and belief that the world is unpredictable and inconsistent. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (toddlerhood): Following infants’ understanding of a predictable environment, toddlers are starting to realize if they can depend on others. At this stage, toddlers are a step towards developing as an individual, in other
Theories (Erikson & Attachment) According to Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, trust vs. mistrust, occurs in the first year of life. Erikson believed that the caregiver’s response to the infant’s cries help them develop a sense of trust, when the caregiver responds right away to the infant’s distress of crying or fussing (Mooney, 2000). Erikson believed that in the earliest years of life, mainly during infancy, patterns of trust or mistrust are formed that control, or at least influence, a person’s actions or interactions for the rest of life (Erikson, 1950). Bowlby hypothesized that children are born with a predisposition to be attached to caregivers and that children will organize their behavior and thinking in order to maintain those relationships (Bettmann, 2006).

The 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange, consists of many psychological concepts. Two concepts in particular seem to have the biggest impact and role throughout this film.

Everything a child touches need to put in his or her mouth. Freud believes children do this because it gives them pleasure. However, Erikson’s Trust versus Mistrust is the first stage during a child’s infancy. A child depends completely on caregivers for basic needs such as food, comfort and warmth.
Forrest is also a sympathetic man, especially when he became a father. He notices his disability and is aware of his own limitations, he knew that his son would be much smarter than he does, but he still tries his best to support his son, such as trying his best to read story books (e.g. Curious George) to his son. American people at that time are often prejudiced, especially at the race perspective. However, Forrest is not prejudiced and judgment, he sees people regardless of their gender, race, age, and religion. This is demonstrated in the movie through his relationship with Jenny, he always accepts her for whom she is, he sees past the predicaments Jenny is in, for example when Jenny was singing in a club naked.
However, as he progressed through life in the film, I saw that I was wrong in assuming what type of role he would carve out for himself in society. I was surprised how he reacted to people who wrong him, like Jenny. No matter how many times she did wrong by Forrest he would always look at her, and it was like he was seeing her for the first time. He would forgive her and love her unconditionally, leaving her to wonder why won’t he hurt me like the others before him? Another reaction was when the drill sergeant screamed “GUUUUUMP!
