A Lesson from Forky

For those who have watched Toy Story 4, you probably know Forky.

He is just a disposable spork until Bonnie made him into a toy.

His character in the movie appeared to be self-loathing and naive. He runs and put himself into a trash bin everytime he sees one because he see himself as a trash.

Forky made a lot of the scenes funny. But I think there is something we can learn from the character of Forky.

There comes in life when we see ourself as useless as trash. There may be people who would make us feel worthless even after doing our best. But don't let them define our self-worth and value.

We must always remember that someone loves us (like how Bonnie loves Forky). We mean something to someone. We mean something to our Creator. We mean something to our parents and our friends. Someone out there values our existence and we are important for them. These are something we must always remember.

After the movie, Forky also returned as the main character of a short TV series titled Forky Ask a Question. Where in every episode, he asks a question about life and the world around him.

You ask for it, so I will give you some constructive criticism.

This is a good way to use an example from popular culture to illustrate something more general - which in this case is that people should not feel themselves as trash. This will catch the attention of the readers and the comparison with popular culture will make the text less "heavy" to read. It is well written and the flow in the article is fine, but, and there always is a but, I also feel that this is a bit "thin". It's too short and doesn't really go deeply into anything. You need to develop the theme more, and the theme is the general phenomenon that is the point in this text. You can also include more examples, if you find any. In some way, this article needs more "meat on its bones".

Well, never really a fan of cartoons. Nontheless I have come across the movie, that scene is really funny. The fact that we shouldn't see ourselves as trash is really motivating. Thanks for sharing.
