Hills

A supportive motif in a novel/movie. A young kid (Carl) loves biking, goes biking with all the neighborhood kids. All the kids make a big deal about going to the big hill to ride down really fast. Carl likes going fast down the hill, the wind in his face, but at the bottom of the hill he realizes and laments the fact that he has to go back up. While slowing making it back up the hill he thinks to himself that real life isn't like the TV shows, you never watch the kids on TV go up back up the hill, only enjoying the ride down. More plot occurs, and then at the end of the story the Carl, now an adult has to go live at his old house,(for whatever reason, death of parent ect.) Carl, still a lover of bicycles goes out to rediscover the neighborhood he grew up in. Riding around Carl realizes that the hill that he truly likes best, happens to be the one at the end of his street. It has all of the features that he truly desires.
This story shows character development, realizing his own passions, some of which he shared with (the media/neighborhood kids aka. society) such as biking, and some of which were unique passions, not enjoying the big hill and speed/adventure as much, but rather preferring his own unique taste.
This story also provides a moral, that more often than you would realize, that which you enjoy the most, the "perfect hill" is right in your backyard. While it is important to try other things to experience and realize your what your true passions are there is nothing wrong with finding out your mom really does make the best lasagna.
