L53. Momma says stupid is as stupid does.
(Forrest may be stupid in others’ eyes, but his mom thinks he is no different and tries her best to protect and encourage him. She tells him that only those who do stupid things are stupid and he is not. This line shows his mom’s love and wisdom, which inspires and encourages Forrest a lot.)

L57. From that day on, we was always together.
(The grammatical mistakes in lines 57 and 58 reflect Forrest’s low IQ, which makes the character true and vivid. )

Let's talk about our understanding of these lines.
L58. Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.
(“Peas and carrots” is an American idiom, which means keeping each other’s company very often as peas and carrots are two ingredients the western people always mix to decorate dishes when cooking, which people think can’t be separated. This phrase is used to indicate the friendship between Forrest and Jenny.)

Discussion: How did the other students treat Forrest Gump How did he react to this
The other students rejected him and did not want him to sit next to them. Forrest Gump did not care about that. On the contrary, he focused on the positive response he got from Jenny. Although the other students did not treat him well, he remained optimistic and appreciated the beautiful moments in his life.
高一 | 英语
If you were Gump, what would you do
If I were Gump, I would not be angry at other students' rejection because they didn't have the duty to share the seat with me. I would ignore those unfriendly students and be warm to those friendly one. I would be optimistic and happy every day, despite others' scorn.
