hero's journey essay

Out of two movies we watched "Castaway" and "Worlds fastest Indian" and out of the story we read "Beawolf". The one i think was a true hero was Chuck Noland from "Castaway".He truly was a hero. He was flying on a plane going on a business trip and all of a sudden his plane crashes.He wakes up the next morning to notice that he is not on the plane but on an Island of some sort.He wonders of looking for anyone else he was on a plane with only to discover he was by himself.No one to talk to no way of knowing were he is and not being able contact anyone.
He was considerd a hero in my eyes because he never gave up.He didnt give up hope he knew that one day he would be rescued and go back home to his normal life go back to his girlfriend and maybe not think about flying anymore.
Think about it what would you hace done if you were stained on an island i know for one thing i wouldnt have made it four years.Think about the experience he went through he coulndt make a fire he cut his hands several times just to make a fire and out of that fire he made his on friend his volleyball he found with his luggage that he named wilson.Some people thought that he was already crazy because who in there right mind turn a volleyball into his friend.I woyld have done the same thing not because i was crazy but just to have company talk to someone even though you knew you werent going to get any respond from anyone.
He is a hero in my eyes because he managed with what he had from the luggage he found.He was smart enough to make weapons to catch his food.Another thing is am surprised that he lived long enough just living off of fish and acouple of fruits he found.He also made his owm shelter to stay warm and not die from ammonia.To me thast what i consider a hero not someone who thinks he can do it that ppeople would like him or her just because they were strong.A hero is someone hoe will be willing to survive through hard times and help people when he knows he can .thats what i think a hero is.
