The Iron Giant

One person can drastically change a life. Hogarth sees past the giants iron exterior. Hogarth got to understand the giant and realized that he also had feelings. Hogarth believed that the giant had a soul, and that "souls don't die". He ended up understanding the giants potential, the potential to save the town. The giant learns right from wrong due to Hogarth. The boy shows him "you are who you choose to be". The robot chooses to become superman rather then the weapon he was built to become, because he learned the difference between right and wrong. The giant gained traits because he was thankful. At the end of the movie, a bomb was set to hit the town where Hogarth and his family resided. The giant gained the trait of courage here, for he wanted to thank Hogarth. After stating that Hogarth should let him leave alone, the way Hogarth did. "You stay, I go. No Following", the giant collided with the bomb, ending with a grateful town. They now understood his hero trait and built a statue dedicated to the giant himself. The iron giant gained these traits because of Hogarth, and it was these traits that saved Hogarth in the end. Hogarth's perspective of the giant, the time he took teaching him right from wrong, and the traits the giant gained due to this all played a part in how Hogarth drastically changed his life.
