Coach Bryant teachs Forrest how to catch a football pass. And Coach Bryant, he said he will be their “secret weapon”- like Adam Bomb”. Bobba and Forrest is real good friends by now. He helps him to learn some new songs on the harmonica. He would not stay without Bubba’s harmonica music.
It make him feel so good.In Friday, Forrest goes on over to the Student Union building. Jenny is wearing a long dress and playing the guitar, and somebody else has a banjo and there is a guy with a fiddle.Jenny sees him in the crowd,and smiles and points with her eyes for him. They had played for an hour and evebody seems very happy. Forrest had pulls out his harmonica and playing along with them. It is the strangest thing, Jenny is singing “Blowing in the wind” and when he begins to play, she stops for a second, and the banjo player, he stops too, and they get this very suprised looks on their faces, and then Jenny give a big grin and she commence to pick up the song again, and the banjo player, he stop and give Forrest a chance to ride his harmonics for a while,and everybody in the crowd begun to clap and cheer when he was done. Jenny come down from the stage after that and the band take a break and she says,” Forrest, what in the world? Where you learn to play that thing?” Forrest feels he in the heaven till he found out Jenny Curran been screw in the banjo player.
Unifortunately, it was not going good in his English class, “The Romantic period”, he say,”did not follow a bunch of classic bullshit”. Mister Boon don’t understand Forrest is a idiot.
One Night, he sees Jenny and the Banjo player doing something in the car, then he graps the banjo player by his shirt, which is all he’s got on anyhow, and snatchs his ass off her. Jenny gets angry, says”Oh Forrest- How could you” and walks off. He told this to Bubba, Bubba says:”People was making love.”

It is really fun to read all the blogs being written about a single book, as each seems to reveal and to emphasize different aspects of the same story. Your description of the events in chapter 4 provide a particularly clear reflection of Forrest’s experience discovering and sharing his previously hidden musical talents; good job with that.
I’d like to know more about what Forrest’s English teacher is complaining about- what do you think he meant with his comments regarding the Romantic and Classic styles of writing?
