But Hanks' crowning achievement has to be The Green Mile. In 1999, Tom Hanks was arguably as big as any movie star had ever been.
The “earliest recollection” of the father is filled with imagery such as “stubble of his cheek” and “ sound …boots galumphing along”. The lifestyle of his father still haunts the narrator still as he automatically wakes at four believing that he’s making his father wait, however he then realizes that his father is no longer there and he is “foolishly alone.” Salt is infused with the memory of the narrator’s father due to the amount of time he spent in the sea.
