Becky inspires Gilbert to look beyond the norm, to embrace life. She teaches him that there is an entire world of small things.... things he's never noticed in his world of responsibility and looking out for everyone else. Becky's passion and free spirit highlight Gilbert's passivity...... her interest pulls him out of himself and inspires him to think about what he wants and what he's missing.
