Life is Like a Box of Chocolates

One memorable line from the Forrest Gump movie is that “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The Assignment “Life is like” interpretations. In no more than 475 words essay, you will be constructing your own Meaning of Life.

1. For this assignment, first fill in the blank with your own answer for

“Life is like ________________,” and briefly explain what you mean by your answer. Then, answer the following questions:

2. What does your answer about what life is say about you and how you see yourself? (For example, if your answer is happy and light-hearted, then you probably see yourself that way as well. Or, it could be that your answer reflects how you wish life was and that it was different from your real life.)

3. How does your answer explain your ultimate life goals? Expectations? Hopes? Fears? Purpose? If it does not explain any of these things, why not?

4. Would your close friends and family members agree that answer truly describes your outlook on life? Why or why not?

5. Now that you have had some chance to really think about it, would you like to start this assignment all over again with a different answer for the “Life is like” statement? If “yes,” what would the new answer be and why would you prefer it to your original answer? If “no,” explain why not?
