- Description: Forrest Gump is the protagonist of the eponymous 1994 film: the character runs across the United States from coast to coast: "That day, I don't know why, but I decided to go for a run. So I ran to the end of the road, and once there, I thought about running to the end of the town, and once there, I thought about running through Greenbow County. Then I said to myself, since I've come this far, might as well run through the beautiful state of Alabama, so I did. I ran across the entire state of Alabama, and I don't know why I kept going. I ran to the ocean, and once there, I said to myself, since I've come this far, might as well turn around and keep running. When I got to another ocean, I said to myself, since I've come this far, might as well turn around again and keep running; when I was tired, I slept, when I was hungry, I ate, when I had to... well, I did it!"

Gump apparently felt like running one day and kept going until he ran into an ocean. At that point, he turned around and ran back until he ran into the other ocean. This sojourn has continued for the last three years, one month, and two days.

This isn't a tale of derring-do, nor is it merely some kind of "cynical account"; it isn't meant to be, at least. It's a chunk of two lives running parallel for a while, with common aspirations and similar dreams.

- Description: Lemuel Gulliver is the protagonist of Jonathan Swift’s satirical masterpiece Gulliver’s Travels (1726). Introduced as an English surgeon and sailor born in 1661, Gulliver narrates his astonishing adventures: he is shipwrecked in Lilliput, land of the tiny; brought to Brobdingnag, the realm of giants; visits Laputa, the floating island of obsessive scientists; and finally reaches the land of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses living without deceit, opposed to the brutish Yahoos. Through these voyages, Swift didn’t merely invent imaginary lands—he exposed the hypocrisies of politics, science, and society
