Forrest Gump

 

As decided by democratic consensus, we will cover Winston Groom's Forrest Gump instead of Apt Pupil.  Don't bother watching the film ahead of time if you haven't already seen it.  The film and book are markedly different, but both are very good.

Here is a link to a PDF of the book.  I hope it works:


Forrest Gump by Winston Groom

As discussed in class, it is also fun to read the shooting script before watching the film, so we might have some fun doing a reading.  Here is the script if you are interested:

An HTML version. (no page separation)

A PDF version. (pages separated, but print isn't dark)


Try to read 30 pages of the book.  It's a smooth fun read. In class we will read the script.
