In the journey of Chuck in Cast Away, he demonstrates that he is a hero. During his path he faces choices and obstacles, that make him transform into a new person that shows respect and has a renewal view on morals and values.
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.
With him no longer knowing what time it is or what day it is he knows time doesn't matter. He builds a raft with Wilson,after several failure attempts he becomes successfull. 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.
