Chuck's Journey
Chuck, in his journey, encountered three self changes that he encounter while over a course of four years. These three changes are the separation, Initiation, and the Return. Towards the end of his journey, he is no longer the man he once saw himself as. He is now a changed man who appreciates life and takes nothing for granted anymore.
During his Separation, he found himself caring more about time and hurrying than anything. Making sure everything was on time and everything was where it was supposed to be at. His job was calling him in one day and the threshold that made him say goodbye to his fiance that he never really wanted to leave. He did give her a gift, a ring, but never said why he did, and then left to his job. During his descent he boarded a plane that was shipping fed ex things to places over seas. Soon later, a storm approached and it made the plane crashed.
During his initiation, his plane crashed into the sea and he finally drifted to the island. During the abyss he searched the island only to find himself alone and the only survivor of the crash. Soon later, lots of items came drifting ashore and he used them to his advantage but never oped up this one package. The symbol of wings was something specail and meant something. His mentors became a pocket watch which had his fiance, Kelly, picture in it and always talked to the watch every time he wanted to give up, also a volley ball in which he got angry at one day after cutting his hand wide open threw the ball. He made it his friend with his bloody hand print on it and named it Wilson. Wilson was always there and even though it didn't talk, it was his friend at heart. His transformations were how he taught himself how to fish and make fires, he also mad a raft he soon used four years later to escape using the seasons and the winds. He used the wood from the land and rope used by the outer layers of the trees. It took him a while to build it but he soon completed the raft and still had the unopened package with him.
During his Return, Chuck was found by a large ship passing by after floating forever on the open sea. He was followed by a whale that did keep him wet with the water all the time, I guess you can say the whale was also a mentor. The ship had taken him home which he spent time with family and friends that had missed him so much. When his fiance found out, her new husband had told chuck that she moved on. She never forgot him in those four long years. Soon after his return, he went to her house (his old house) and she told him that they looked forever to try and find him, and that she missed him. He got his car that he owned back and departed from the girl he once was with. During his creation, he found himself appreciating more about life and looking at things differently now. Remembering how he took it all for granted, now he just appreciates it more than ever. Soon after, he returned the package he never opened. Later, he walked along a road and came to a four cross road. He took the path that the wind had chosen for him to lead his newly changed life forever.
Chuck went into life a ' taking for granted life's ways' coming out a ' appreciating life's ways' man. He was changed forever during those four long years, never giving up hope of returning home one day. He now looks at life differently than what he used to. In my opinion, he has become a "Hero". Heroes never give up, and Chuck never gave up his will to survive and live. He used the items that floated ashore to his advantage, only to make a way to get home. He knew there is always a way and he found it. That's how in my opinion he became a hero. He became one in his own eyes and the eyes of others having the will very few people have.
