Richard Solonia - Final Exam

Chuck was more interested in his responsibility of his job. He wanted everything on time and time was everything to him. Chuck becomes stranded on an island after his plane crashes and he learns to survive on his own for four years and learns to make fire out of sticks. He escapes the island and is discovered by a fishing ship and returns home.
Chuck was a responsible manager for Fed-Ex and wanted every package to come in on time. He would be furious if the packages were sent out later than expected and didn’t have much respect from his co-workers. Testing the company’s speed, he sent a package containing a timer and sent it halfway around the world to see how long it takes for the package to return.
The main character has to go on a plane to deliver some packages and decides to leave his fiancée for the trip. His plane crashes into the ocean and Chuck, being the only survivor from the accident, is washed up on the beach of an uncharted island. He then realizes that he must survive on his own. He comes across some packages that have also washed up on the shore and utilizes most of them for a lot unusual ways like using an ice skate to remove a rotting tooth.
He found a volleyball in one of the packages and calls it Wilson. Chuck talks to the volleyball so he doesn’t feel lonely and talks to him for some advice. Wilson helps him through tough situations and helps chuck have a turning point on his stay on the island. Chuck makes fire out of the friction of two sticks and starts his new skill of survival. The new skill led to other things and it wouldn’t take long for Chuck to have an idea about building a raft to leave the island. He loses Wilson after a short time in the ocean and Chuck is then discovered by a ship. Chuck returns home and learns that he shouldn’t be a slave to time anymore and just enjoy life without much time.
Chuck was stuck on time and had to go through four years of mess for it. He learns to survive on and island and made and lost a friend of a volleyball. Chuck is a hero because he survived on determination and the thought that he may return home someday.
