Narritive Voice: In my novel, Winston speaks through one character which is the main character, Forrest Gump. Winston makes it as if Forrest is telling the readers his life story.
Descriptions: Winston uses lots of detail and description in my novel so I think he's more of a flowery author. Things are very detailed while talking through Forrest. When Forrest see's Jenny Curran for the first time since elementary school, he says, "She was all growed up now, with prettyblack hair an she was long-legged an had a beautiful face, an they was other things too, Idare not mention." as you can see, Winston uses a lot of description.
Use of Dialogue: Winston uses authentic accents in the dialogue of my novel. Since Forrest is from down south in Mobile, Alabama, he gives Forrest an accent and takes Forrest's IQ into consideration. Throughout the book, Forrest spells words incorrectly and speaks with a southern accent. He writes words like they sound.
Literary Techniques: Winston uses mainly order in my novel. It starts out chronological order telling about his child hood and coming up from elementary school, to the nut school, to high school, getting on the football team, the scholarship to Alabama and more. Later in the book, right about when he gets to the army and Bubba dies, Forrest has flashbacks about all the good times him and Bubba had at the university and earlier when they did everything together around the army base and all their conversations, especially about opening up their shrimping business which Forrest did later on.
Genre: I think the genre of Forrest Gump is realistic fiction because eventhough Forrest has such an exciting and full of suprise life, it's possible that it could happen in real life and someone else's life could be just as exciting.
Theme: I think the authors message about life in this novel is to live your life, dont let anything hold you back, make your life. Forrest had an IQ of 70 and was considered pretty such an idiot but he did so many things because he didnt let what other people said hold him back and he did what he put his mind to. That's how he lived such an adventurous life.
