My paper is about Chuck Noland who I think completed the Hero's Journey. Chuck Noland is a man who had very hard obsticles to complete the Hero's Journey.

Chuck's separation was when he was in an airplane flying for work. While doing that his plane crashed and he was the only survivor. While floating in the ocean for a very long time he found a island and headed that way. He planned on getting found right away but that didn't happen so he kind of got settled in; just for the night. I think Chuck was very brave because if it happened to me I would be scared.

I think when Chuck looked at a FedEx box that washed up on shore was when he thought positive. He looked at the wings on the box and he suddenly had hope. I think Chuck was his own mentor because he was the only one on the island. Also because he was the one who taught hisself to do all the things he did while being stranded. Chuck's transformation was when he found "Wilson" the volleyball. I think he still had faith and he didn't feel so alone because of "Wilson."

Chuck's return was amazing! He built a raft and sailed out to get home. While the waves were beating him he kept going. Even though he lost "Wilson" along the way he couldn't give up; he never did. The next morning Chuck woke up to a huge ship sailing past him. As anyone would do he waved and screamed and before you knew it he was on a plane flying back home. I don't know about the creation but I do know that Chuck got re-created. Everyone thought no one survived so to everyone Chuck was dead. He wasn't so they had to "bring him back alive" by filling out a buch of paperwork; like he was a newborn baby.

I talked about Chuck Noland from "Castaway." I think that Chuck completed the Hero's Journey 100%. I think he completed it because he was lost and found his way home and inspired a lot of people; even me.
