Morals of FG

I think that one of the morals of Forrest Gump is that life will take you where you do not want to go, but you have to just keep trying to get to where you want to go and eventually you will get there.  I really enjoyed the story of Forrest Gump, but I do have one issue with it.  I had seen the movie when I was younger and I always thought of the story as a real life story, but when we read the book it went into this outlandish type of story where Forrest does everything.  Other than that, I found Forrest Gump a great book.
