Question

In this scene, Forrest shares his belief in miracles, recalling when Jenny, his “most special friend,” encouraged him to run from a group of rock-throwing bullies. And run he did—so hard and fast his leg braces..
Share a better way to have solved the issues/what could bystanders have done differently

Answer 1

I don’t think it should have been solved differently. He could have gone to a teacher and asked for help, but the teachers didn’t take him seriously and probably wouldn’t have listened. He could have tried to reason with them, but do you honestly think “rock throwing bullies” have any reason? No. This was the best option for him. It allowed him to break free from his leg braces and find something that he could do well.

Running was his salvation throughout the whole movie as well, so if this was solved differently, there wouldn’t really be a movie.

Answer 2

He could’ve reason with them or call someone to help or for them but violence is ever the answer
