When he got on the plane the weather was bad. The plane couldnt handle it and crashed itno the ocean. He was stuck in the island by himslef. Chuck stayed alive because he had hope to se his wife again.
It was always about time for him. He also followed orders for his job. When he arrived at the airport he didnt want to go. He wanted to stay with his wife. But it seemed that his job is first and didnt make it to the city. The plane couldnt stand the weather and went down crashing into the ocean. He found a raft and stayed in the ocean with a really bad weather until next morning. Until he arrived at an island.
When he made it to the island it was hard for him because he didnt know what to do next. he did yelled for help but no one seemed to be there with him. He didnt know what to do, He couldnt fish or make fire. He also couldnt pass those big waves with his little rafter or boat.
Chuck stayed in the island for four years. He knew how to fish and make fire. He knew how to take care of a wound when he was hurt. He even pulled a tooth for it not to hurt anymore. Chuck became strong and valued timein the island. What also kept him strong was the picture of his wife. It was hard for him to be the only one talking to a soccer ball but he made it. He made a bigger raft so he could pass the big waves and he accomplished it.
He made it off the island and layed on the raft for awhile wateing to see where the ocean takes him next. But while chuck layed there a ship found him and took him back home. He was finally homw after four years being by himself and tryeing to survive. He went home saw his wife and was happy to see her. She was too. Finally he got to see his wife and be gappy with the new life he would have.
Chuck showed that being a hero dosnt mean by saveing someone or only helping people. But he showed by being strong and to belive in your self even though yout in a bad situation. He made that deep inside you could be a hero for being strong and doing things for your self that you never done before. Like surveing in a island by your self and dont know what to do.

Ofelia Sanchez Final Exam
During the semester we watched many movies one which was Castaway. I chose Castaway because chuck demonstrated to be a real hero. The movie castaway is about a man that gets stuck on an island for four years. He was a person that cared too much about time, everything had to be percise. chuck was a man that lived his like according to time.
Chuck was spending time with his family when he recieved a call from his job. They had asked him to deliever some packages on Christmas. His fiance took him to the airport, before he left they exchanged gifts. She gave him a watch with a picture of herself in it. Chuck gave her a towel and something esle for her bathroom.
During the take off everything was fine, it wasn't till five minutes later that the plane broke down. They were above the ocean, so there was a posibility that one would survive. Chuck woke up on the island not knowing waht to do. He was trapped on the worst island ever. No one ever got near it because of the currents that could leave them standed on the island. The first couple months he was on the island, he didn't know how to do anything. He had trouble fishing, making a shelter, and breaking cocanuts to drink the juice. He got hurt many times trying to escape the island. He finally realized that he wasn't going anywhere. Chuck was hoping someone would find him and save him from his horrible experience.
As time pasted he got used to it. He learned to catch his food and find his right drinks. Chuck was tired of being lonely and not be able to talk to someone. He found packages from the plane and opened them. There was a ball that he kept and named Wilson. Chuck treated it like a human. He talked to it and painted a face on him. Desiring a hot meal, he repeatedly tried amking a fire.
Four yeas later he has built a strong raft, of course he has to take Wilson with him, being his only companion. Chuck makes it out and has hope to be found right away. As he lays there thinking of lost Wilson a ship spots him and saves Chuck. The excitment of seeing his fiance Chuck learnd that she is married. They talk knowing they can't be together right there and then.
Chuck was a hero for many reasons, he learned to value time. Not caring if it goes scheduled or planned out. He sees life a day to day adventure.

Elizabeth Rodriguez Final Exam
During this first semester of my senior year in high school we read the book Fahrenhiet 451. After reading a few chapters we saw the movie. In my opinion I liked the book but disliked the movie, I don't think it was good enough. The main characters of this book are Montage, Mildred, Clarisse, Beatty, Faber and the suicide women. In this book nobody was allow to read books, every book ws to be burned. Montage was a fireman, but his job was to burn books.
Two of my favorite characters were Mildred and Clarisse. They are the complete opposite of eachother and that is what is interesting to me. Mildred is Montage's wife. In the book Clarisse is only 17 years old and is a student. Mildred is crazy she tried killing herself while Clarisse is in love with life, she likes to question everything and talk to people.
Clarisse is a young free spirit girl, she doesn't follow the crowd, she is an outcast. Clarisse is more of an individual and Mildred likes to go along with the crowd she enjoys watching TV shows, she goes more with comformity than individuality. When Montage started talking to Clarisse he changed. He felt happier being with Clarisse than with his own wife.
Clarisse helped Montage feel better. She made him realize a lot of things. Montage started questioning his job, books and even the government. He had been collecting books since we started reading the book, he later on realized he liked reading the books. Mildred never helped Montage, she always went along with the crowd. Mildred was young full of life and questions and that is why Montage felt good when he was with her.
The only similarity Mildred and Clarisse have is that they are both girls. I liked Clarisse's personality better. In a way I can identify my personality with hers. She is more individual and I like that Mildred is just there and doesn't do or think much. Montage would of been happier with Clarisse than with Mildred.

He goes over the reefs and is in the middle of the ocean, where some ship sees him and rescues him. He resumes back to his life. Even though it wasn't the same as when he left behind. Kelly is married with a child, his best friend's wife died, and he was been dead to everyone.
He might have felt as a failure because, he was gone so long and miss out, he couldn't be there for his friend or Kelly. He can't change what is,how it is all he can do is just deal with it . He continues his life still at FedEx, and even delivers a package he kept since he was on the island which shows respect. Chuck is a better person values accomplishments itself, and time. To me after all he went through we still lives which makes him a hero.
The initiation of his journey is while working for FedEx he is always on call.One of his first priorities is Kelly, his girlfriend. Even though sometimes his job intervenes with time that could be spent with her. He is always in a rush and runs his life on time. When something is accomplished he look at how much it took and forgets the fundamental purpose of why or what was done.While on dinner with Kelly he is called by his job, he chooses to board the airplane, than to stay with her.
During on the flight everything goes wrong and he ends up stranded on an unknown island,alone.He struggles in the beggining, he is know in a new place with no one to guide him. He acts independant, to find a technique and the resources to help him survive. He adapts to his new enviroment and has learned new skills to help accomidate with food, shelter, and water. Chuck knows how to catch the sea food, water to drink, and the most important how t make fire.
He has a friend by the name of Wilson (a volleyball). To him that is his mentor and motivation along with the picture of Kelly. He talks to Wilson and even argues with him. Those are the values that keep him alive. Even though he tries to commit suicide at some point,but then chooses not to. Chuck begins to transform into a new person.

Rigoberto Rivera, Final Exam
The hero's journey is avery common in alot of films, storys, and also in art. In the story of Beowulf it is a very good example of the hero's journy. It shows you how Beowulf was a true hero.
Beowulf faces alot of obstacles on his way. The first was to fight Grendel. Beowulf is called to go and fight Grendel by the King Hrothgar, of Herot, because Grendal was eatting all of the soldiers. When Beowulf decides to fight Grendel, he does it with no weapon. He thinks that because he is the good one that god would be on his side. Beowulf succeeds in kiilling Grendel, and thats what brings him to hi second mission.
When Grendeldies, the mom got mad and started killing the people. So thats when Beowulf gets his second mission, to get rid of Grendel's mom. Beowulf then goes to Grendel's mother's swamp, but can't use his weapon because of this spell that she uses. So when he was battleing Grendel's mother, Beowulf ends up finding an axe. So then he kills her with the axe, and moves on to the next mission.
So his last mission was to kill the dragon, and take his treasure while your at it. No matter what it is to get the treasure. While in the cave all of Beowul's men run away exept for one called Wiglaf. When battling the dragon, beowulf gets severely injured. Still Beowulf manages to kill the dragon. Beowulf takes the treasure and gives it to the poor. Before he dies he tells Wiglaf to make him a mural on the cliff over the ocean. he also tells Wiglaf to throw his ashes into the ocean.
Beowulf truly is an epic hero. i mean killinbg both Grendel and Grendel's mother, and still the dragon. One he did it with no weapon, and the others with weapons. In the end also getting a mural done in honor for him. That is truly a real hero. One who will be remembered for a long time, even though its not real.

Final exam
Fahrenheit 451
Mildred and Clarisse have very few things in common but what they do have in common is that they are both women. They both have some sort of relationship with Montag. They both have a few obsessive habits about one thing or another.
Mildred is more like the old fashion woman, She stays in home and lives off of Montag. She wants to be like everyone else by watching television and not thinking about anyone but herself. Mildred doesn't understand Montag, and why he wants to change. She also seems as if she hates her life but hides her emotions.
Clarisse is more of the modern woman. She reads books and thinks outside of what everyone else does and doesn't care what people think. Clarisse and Montag understand each other. She speaks her mind and cares more about other things then herself.
These differences and similarities help to develop the theme because they show how people can become if they try to fit in too much or how they would be treated if they were different. It also shows how women are treated in the world, they are thought to play a part and if they choose not to they become an outsider who are not even accepted among other women.

Luisita Gutierrez Final exam
Castaway is one of the best movies I have seen this semester. The movie Castaway is not only about how to survive but how to value time too. In this movie chuck learns how to value and survive time as well. Chuck is a man that cares a lot about his job at Fed-x. He is always rushing through things and doesn't have much time for anything not even his girlfriend.
Chuck takes a plane and leaves his girlfriend behind thinking he'll come back soon, but little does he know something bad is about to happen. Chucks airplane crashes and practicaly all the passengers did not survive the accident. Chuck realizes he is stuck on the island and and all he can see is the pure blueness of the ocean ahead. He had lost his shoes in the accident and is walking bare footed. Chuck realizes he's very alone and doesn't know what to do.
Chuck had to overcome some obsticals. He became very hungry and thirsty. He found some coconuts but they were hard as a rock, he tryed breaking it in half but once he did all the juice spilled outof it. He became pretty mad, but tryed again, this time he found a rock and somewhat drilled a hole in it and drank the juice. Next he was hungry so he tryed to catch fish in the ocean water, but all he could catch were little tiny fish. When he was walking along the sand he saw that a man was floating in the water. He swam across to see if he was still alive but unfortunatly he was not. He draged him out of the water and took his shoes and some clothes. He found out he was a dilivery guy from Fed-x. He fond some shipment from Fed-x and took it, there was a box and in it was a dress, he also found a vollyball too. he went back and tryed to build a fire, he couldn't and he became very frustrated he even cut his hand, with that blood he drew a face on the vollyball and called it willson. He continued trying to start a fire while talking to his buddy willson, suddenly he saw some smoke and sparks coming out and soon became a fire out of two sticks. That was a major creation in this movie, he also made like a small shelter so that he could sleep inside of it. once he became so despreate and lonely he tryed killing himself but he remembered that he wanted to go back home. To survive being alone he keep a picture of his girlfriend and talked to willson, even though he didn't talk back he was there to listen he was Chucks companionship while he was stranded. He tryed to get pass the reef once but the waves were to big and strong it tilt him over and he cut his leg. As years went by he became a very good fisher, it was like if he had his own little home there. He wanted to go back home so bad he built a raft with a little shelter on it so that he could off the island, all he needed was to get passed the reef and the waves. When he was ready he went for it, the waves were big and strong and all he had in his head was to get back home. He finally passed the waves and said good-bye to the island he spent four years on.
After four years of being stranded on an island he returned home and the first place he went to was his girlfriends house. He learned to value time when straneded in making a fire, catching fish/food, building a shelter and a raft, passing the reef and having patience while being alone. When he learned to value his time he was more organized and had enough time for things.

Miguel Ramos, Final Exam
The topic I chose to write about is the hero's journey. Ia m going to tell about Chuck's Heroes Journey. The reason I chose to write about Chuck is that he is a good example of the heroes journey. I also believe his journey has all of the elements of a heroes journey. The first thing I am going to write about is the calling.
Chuck's calling was his job, which was working for FedEx. The time always mattered to Chuck and his job. Chuck was always looking at the time as it was important to his job. His job was the thing that led him to the airport. The threshold in his journey was whether he should go or not. His choice to go was made at the airport.
The descent in his journey was when the plane crashed into the ocean. He managed to escape and float onto an island. This is also the abyss in the story. He was very angry and frustrated when he first got onto the island. He couldn't do anything because he was not used to the type of life he would soon have to learn to live on the island.
Chuck's mentor in the story is a volleyball that he got out of one of the FedEx boxes. He painted on a face and named it Wilson. Without Wilson I believe Chuck would not have been able to survive or keep his sanity on the island. Wilson is his mentor because he is there to keep Chuck company.The transformation happens when Chuck learn to make a fire, learn to fish, and take his tooth off with an ice skate and a rock. He eventually builds a raft that can go over the reef that was keeping him in.
His return comes when he gets to his girl's house. You could also say his return happens when he gets to the airport. His creation is that he learns to value and appreciate time. I believe Chuck truly changed his life. I also believe the events I wrote about make him a hero and I also believe his journey was a heroes journey.

Juan Zuno, Final exam
The main character in the film gos through a lot of struggle. In the film time is important at some time. It all changes when something happens to Chuck. He has to survive one way or an other. he did whatever it took to survive, and time wasn't as important to him any more.
In the film Chuck cares a lot about his job. His job has to do with time which mad home care a lot about it. One day he had to go out of town to make a delivery. He got on the plane and the plane crashes. Every one on the plane died except Chuck, he gets stuck on an inland. He couldn't find a way to get back home.
Wild being stuck on the inland he had to learn how to survive. What i think kept him alive was his wife. He first tried to hunt finish and he couldn't. He kept on trying to open coca nuts to drink what had inside so he wouldn't die of thrust, but he couldn't. He found some packages and open them and he use all of them as tools and one as a friend. He used one of the tools to open the coca nuts. he named his friend Wilson, a valley ball that his blood got on cause of the cut he had on his hand. He had the cut because he was trying to make fire with two sticks. it was his best friend.
When he was trying to survive he Finlay makes fire. He also learns how to catch fish with a spear. then he makes a boat to get back home and he did. When he gets back home four years has already pass by and his girl was married with some one else and had children. They talked about what happened and had good bye sex. At the end he delivers the last package.
What i think compares to me is that i worry about time. When i relax i stop thinking about whats going to happen next. I think that if something like that happen to me i would kill my self. I don't think i would learn to survive either way. For shore i wouldn't know how to get back home. That's how it compares to me.

Ubaldo Torres Final Exam
In the story of Beowulf, the hero journey is shown real well. It start as King Hrothgar call Beowulf to kill Grendel. Then he call Beowulf again to kill Grendel's mother after she found out that they had killed her son. Then he is called once again to defeat the dragon and take his treasure. At last he is about to die and is respected and honored like a true hero.
In the beginning of the story when all the soldiers are having parties, Grendel gets annoyed so he decides to go slaughter the soldiers by eating them. He attacked and killed a few soldiers. That's when Beowulf was called by the King to kill Grendel. Like a hero Beowulf demonstrates his hero side by killing Grendel and by killing him with his bare hands. After Killing Grendel Herot became once again a calm place. Later on Grendel's Mother finds out and gets really angry knowing they killed her son, so she decide to go attack Herot.
Angrily she went and attacked. Once again Beowulf was called by the king to get rid of Grendel's angry mother. Beowulf as a hero comes and shows his skills by fighting Grendel's mom. When he went to her swamp and started fighting her he recognized that he was losing the battle so from her own place he grabbed an axe and killed her. Once again the city of Herot was peaceful and Beowulf had another victory and showed that he was a true hero.
Later on Beowulf did another thing that made him honored. He was told to go with a few of his men to slay the dragon and take his treasure and he went. When Beowulf and his few men started fighting the dragon he saw that it was a tough fight and most of his soldiers had left him alone with only one helper. That was Wiglaf. Together they fought and killed the dragon. They returned to the city with all the treasure and gave it to all the poor people. That is a true hero. After fighting the dragon Beowulf was injured badly. He knew that the injury was fatal and that he was going to die.
His last few words were to burn his body into ashes and to be thrown into the ocean where they would built a mound of land and name it after his name. In those days burning someone into ashes was a huge honor to that person. That shows that Beowulf really was honored, respected, and seen as a true hero by his people. That show a true hero's journey.

When Beowulf and his few men started fighting the dragon he saw that it was a tough fight and most of his soldiers had left him alone with only one helper. That was Wiglaf. Together they fought and killed the dragon. They returned to the city with all the treasure and gave it to all the poor people. That is a true hero. After fighting the dragon Beowulf was injured badly. He knew that the injury was fatal and that he was going to die.
His last few words were to burn his body into ashes and to be thrown into the ocean where they would built a mound of land and name it after his name. In those days burning someone into ashes was a huge honor to that person. That shows that Beowulf really was honored, respected, and seen as a true hero by his people. That show a true hero's journey.
Frances Reyes, final exam
Chuck learned how to value time for himself, job, family, and friends. He was stranded on an island for a long time without anything but himself. He had plenty of time to think about his life. He learned a very valuable lesson on the island, how to value time.
When Chuck left his girlfriend on a holiday to go do his job; You can tell he was committed to his job. I see nothing wrong with being committed to work, I think it should be to a certain point though. Don't let control your life. Make your time valuable and do work, spend time with family and friends too. One day you wont have what you have now. I mean one day you probably wont have anyone but yourself and you'll miss it just like Chuck did. That's only learning the hard way.
Like when Chuck was stranded on the island and he had no one. He started to think. Think about his girlfriend, his family, what would have happened if he put them first then his job. Would he be on the island at that time? I guess he thought, what now? All he had now was the island and nothing but memories.
Me to be stranded on an island would be a nightmare. As i think it was for Chuck too. I wouldn't like it at all. I would miss my family, my friends, my boyfriend. To think of myself alone, I would go crazy. That's why i always try to spend time with the people i love. I have a job and go to school but i make time for everyone in my life.
Chuck learned that the hard way but he learned to value it. His story made me think a lot and I learned from it too. I always try to value the time I spend with people and am grateful I can. It's what makes me happy. That's what life is about, being happy.

Marcella Ramirez--Final Exam

Allot of people think that Chuck is not a hero, but in reality he really is one. He has experienced and dealt with things that no person ever has.
Unlike his girlfriend, Kelly Chuck is always focused on time. That's all he really cares about especially since he works as a FedEx guy. Chuck is so into time that he really never has any time for himself, or his girlfriend. Until one day he was called in for work to deliver more packages. This would be the last time he dared talk about time, for he would no longer have the use for it.
That same night the plane that Chuck was in crashed into the sea. This is where his journey begins. Chuck was thrown into the unknown waters. Until he landed on an Island, an Island where you can't seem to escape. When Chuck gets on the Island, well lets just say that he's not that very well skilled at all. Chuck has been on that Island for the longest time, where he learns so much more that he ever thought he could.
All lonely he creates a friend, Wilson a volleyball. Wilson is his only friend, his only trustee on the deserted Island. Even though Wilson his best friend cannot talk, Chuck seems to express himself to him. There on the Island Chuck learns many ways on how to get off the Island. His only wish is to get back home to Kelly, his only inspiration comes from Wilson.
After so many tries and frustrations Chuck finally builds something strong enough to get off the Island. With the raft he built he then is found in the middle of the ocean where he is taken back to Civilization.
When Chuck gets back home, he realized that he no longer cares about time or even craves it. With all the struggles he has been through, he came back a as a new man. Chuck realized he is a good man and that he doesn't need to think about time all the time. He changed ever since he got back home and off that deserted Island.

fahenheit 451 final by :Angel Roman
Conformity , conformity is the root in witch that control grows. If you can get the majority of people to believe and feel the same way about something than you are one step closer to total control. The problem with humans today is that were getting so wrapped up in the modern convenience of our world that we're losing grip of what once was reality, slowly being devoured by carnivorous technology . Guy montag was a member of this grey boring world in witch every one was only concerned with themselves, he worked and went home thats really it. He was a fire man dedicated to the creation of fire , he burned books; the last remnance of the greatest moments of creation ...burned into nothing exept ashes .
Clarisse was the fresh aired breeze that hit Montag unexpected ly showing him this world is not as it seems she was a seeker of knowledge ,the break in the chain she wanted true definition. In the end man has created an image for himself based on the experience that man has had through the past ,the links that hold his personality bound through everything he has said and done up until the moment he dies ,when individuality is taken away from that man he is left with and empty past theres is nothing left to define us him thus, he turns into grey a shapeles person this world wants to create .the book showed that a man can be "resurected " so to speack to have his inner individual return to him .

Sherri Spatz---Final Exam
Chuck Noland in the movie Castaway, is a good demonstration of a hero's journey. He is a man in a business of being on time, that would be FedEx. His journey begins when he had to fly and deliver his shipment. But, on his way to make the delivery the plane crashed into the ocean, near a deserted island. He searched for other survivors, there was no one.
Chuck found useful items in FedEx boxes, in order for him to survive. He found a skate, which he used the blade to peel the husk off the coconuts and used it to knock out his abscessed tooth. He learned how to build a fire with wood and to fish for his food. His biggest accomplishment was building a raft, to get over the reef without hurting himself.
I know that he wouldn't make it, if he didn't have any inspiration. The inspiration he had was the volleyball he called Wilson and the picture of his girlfriend. It shows that he's a hero just by the things you see him go through in order for him to make it off the island alive.
In his return for his girlfriend, he was too late. She was already married and had a baby. In a way, i think that he shouldn't have been expecting her to wait for all those years of him not being there. Although, she knew he was alive and should've stuck to her insticnts. With his journey, the most important thing he learned was, to value time.

Chuck is a hero, whether he may seem like it or not. He endured and experienced more than any other man would in real life.
Chuck's life is controlled by time. His job being a FedEx guy, time is all he worries about. That's what his calling is. His threshold point is at the airport when he decides to leave his fiance behind. He leaves her the ring, which he never gets to give to her. When he got on that plane he was going into the unknown , as the plane crashed that's the symbolism of the decent.
Chucks begins his actual journey when he is in the ocean and lands in an unknown island. He's alone for the longest time till he befriends a volleyball and names is Wilson. Wilson doesn't actually talk (obvious because he's a ball) but he helps Chuck keep the bit of sanity he has left. With Wilson by his side chuck started to transform into a better skilled man. He didn't care about time. On this island there is no time just survival.
He gets enough skill and knowledge about the tides and the island to be able to get off the island. He is found in the middle of the ocean. When he gets back to civilization he no longer sees time as a factor of life.
Chuck went through this whole journey without any skills whatsoever and came back a changed man. He knew how to spear fish, make fire, and survive on an unknown island. This is why chuck is a true hero. he doesn't help people, but he helped himself in such a way.
