The artifact I have chosen is the movie Forrest Gump – there
are several metaphors in the movie, two of which I find impactful.
The free floating feather shown at the beginning and the end
of the movie is beautiful. The vehicle
is the feather. The tenor for me is- We are like feathers floating through time and where
we land; is it destiny or simply by chance?
The second metaphor is a quote from the movie:
When Forest Gump says - “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates,
you never know what you’re gonna get.” The vehicle is the box of
chocolates. The tenor for me is - You
cannot predict the future or what life has in store for you, live for the
moment, be present and acknowledge the past, but let it go.
I really like this!
ReplyDeleteDitto that - I like it too. I love the box of chocolate quote - I use it often!
