K, I'm doing this assignment for Forrest Gump, and I need help with this question. "What is sad about the human condition in Gump's statement "Sometime later somebody shot that nice young President... and then some years later someone shot his brother...It must be hard to be brothers."

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks, Peace!

If you're gonna covertly ask us to do your homework for you, at least tell us whether it's a short answer or an essay question.

You mean teh shooting of JFK and Bobby Kennedy, his younger brother who took political office later on? Did you not pay attention to the movie at all?

Also tell us what class and your teacher's email.

Lol! Sorry, I guess I asked too much of you peeps. It's a short answer, but it's supposed to be philosophical in the answer given. I know it was the Kennedy's who were shot, I want to know why it shows what is sad about human nature.

And you also want multiple views on it? Right?

Maybe. My teach gave out a sheet of 27 questions on the movie Forrest Gump and they all have philosophy behind them, I'm assuming they each only have to be 5-7 lines long in the answer. I just don't really see the human condition in that question.

Think about the condition of the people in the US after both of the Kennedy's were shot.

And contrast that with Gump's statement.
