Hero's Journey Essay
My paper is about the journey of Fed-Ex Delivery man named Chuck Noland. In my opinion Chuck has completed an entire hero's journey.

The Seperation is when Chuck leaves his wife in Russia to make a delivery. The calling for Chuck is a delivery that is over seas somewhere. The threshold happens to Chuck when he leaves Russia becuase he doesnt want to leave his wife but has to make a delivery. The descent is when Chuck leaves to make a delivery over seas.

The initiation happens when Chuck's plane crashes and he is drifting in the ocean and finds the island. Pretty soon he makes a freind named Wilson. Wilson is somewhat of a mentor to Chuck. The abyss is the island Chuck landed on becuase he does'nt know where he is and he does'nt know how to survive on the island. the transformation begins as soon as Chuck realizes he's on a deserted island and starts to adapt to the island. Chuck has been planning on leaving the island and has started to build him and Wilson a raft.

The return of Chuck Noland is when he finally has enough courage to leave the island. So Chuck and Wilson leave on a crappy raft and are drifting at sea. After a few days at sea Chuck gets discovered by a ginourmous ship and is rescued. Throught the entire journey Chuck has held onto one particular package which has ultimately saved his life. When Chuck finally makes it back the states he decides to return the package to it's owner. Chuck gets lost after making the delivery and stops to look at his roadmap. A woman stops to help him and the movie ends and makes you lead to your own conclusions.

In conclusion, Chuck has been through about as much as you can in foru years. He leaves his wife for his job, his plane crashes in the middle of the ocean, he is stranded on a deserted island for four years and finally gets rescued by a "gynourmous" ship, and to top it off his wife remarries to some dude. Chuck is a hero and has completed a hero's journey.
