My of my favorite scens, that left a mark, is when Arnie climbes up the latter the first time. Gilbert is making a delvery to his "lover" so he lives Arnie alone in the car. When it´s time for Gilbert to go he can´t finde Arnie. He rushes in to town and when he gets there he catches a glimpse of Arnie half way up the "water tower". Everyone is there. The police force, the fire department and almoste every citicent of then smal town. After a while Gilbert convinses Arnie to climbe down. It was the first scen in thee movie that woke me up. I´m really afraid of hights so that was a scary moment for me. I almoste stoped breathing when he droped his shoe. I expected him to fall. I woulde have gotten scared to see anyone up there. But when I saw Arnie, I got really scared. A lot of people depends on Gilbert. His mom depends on him to take care of Arnie, his sisters depends on him to do all the things theire father isn´t around to do, and Arnie needs him every minute of every day. So you can deffinetly say that Gilbert has alot of responsibility. I belive in a fair system. I think that every member of the family shoude have the same amount of responsibility. The children shound be depending on there mom and not the other way around. I think that Gilbert turns in to a more loving person after meeting Becky. He seemes happier and more alive. It´s importent to put people that you love first. But sometimes you need to do something for your self. A normal person wouldn´t survive a lifetime of never putting them selves first. So I think that what Gilbert is doing is both good and bad. I belive that Gilbert meens that he loves Arnie but sometimes they woulde all be better of if he was dead. Everything woulde bee so much easier. I don´t think that I can fully understand him. I don´t think that anyone that isn´t in his situation can understand him. I´m not really shoure aboute what Arnie meens by that. It coulde bee that he is aware of his mentel state and that he knows that he coulde die when ever. The most importent message in the movie. I think it wants to tell you that everyone should bee respected no matter how tallented they are or how they look. And that everyone can be happy. You just have to make the best of the good moments in life. I hope that Arnie will live to see the world and that he gets the most out of living. I want Becky and Gilbert to live happily ever after and that the whole Grape family will be united once again.

I really liked what you said about making the best out of all the good moments in life. With that attitude things seem a lot easier to deal with, I think. I think Arnie climbing the water tower is a symbol of him trying to obtain some kind of freedom despite his disabilities. We all find our own ways..
