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.
