Amir’s first experience of violence is when Amir wins the Kite fighting Tournament, and Hassan, runs off in pursuit of Amir’s trophy.

As Amir never helps Hassan, this shows that Amir will do anything to get Baba’s love and intention.
I cursed my decision to call my brother in this hideous weather and after three times of trying he didn’t even answer, probably too busy working on some big-money-making, low-cultural-value, big-talentless-protagonist, Hollywood production to answer a call from his brother. I gathered some courage, frowned at the sky and sprinted to the nearest shelter closest to my classroom that would shield me from the water drops. A few more steps and I was already at the front door of the building, the hallway was all wet and slippery, stupid kids couldn’t even try to wipe the water out of the soles of their shoes. The short walk to my classroom, mostly always packed with revolting students, was alone because the period started maybe 5, 10 minutes ago. I knocked on my classroom door, the teacher signaled me to come in and take a seat.

Another coincidence is that Stanley drops the spade back down the mountain and has to waste time by going down to get it. In this story Stanley had behaved really well.

The elders, Howard and Ethel, are the first ones to rob Bobby, suggesting the elder generation relying on the efforts and losses of the next. They do a war dance, but the younger generation drums too quickly, leaving the elders breathless.

The Ineffectiveness of the Mandatory Attendance Policy The story of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off gives audiences a chance to live vicariously through the main character, Ferris. He’s a young boy full of life and simply needs a ‘day off’’, so he skips school and has fantastical adventures that few of us would even attempt. At the same time, Mr. Rooney (the principal of the high school) stumbles pathetically two steps behind the boy, trying to use this truancy as the final strike—and fuel for Bueller’s expulsion. As thrilling as it is to cheer for the hero and delight in the failed attempts of the antagonist, Mr. Rooney was just doing his job (albeit a bit unorthodoxly and with questionable motivation). It is his job as principal to ensure each child’s future through the gift of education and teach him the consequences of irresponsibility.

When watching a great movie like Forest Gump there are many things you may not agree with, or that are frowned upon. For instance, when Bubba, Forests best friend, sacrificed his life in the Vietnam War and never gets a chance to follow his dream to be a shrimp boat captain.
