Everyone has to face problems and challenges everyday but very few have had to experience what Chuck Noland went through. Chuck was a person who was forced into a hero's journey. He was on another one of his trips to deliver packages when his plane tragically crashed. Fortunatly Chuck survived the fall but he was forced to live on a deserted island.
He seperated from his wife to embark on his trip. The calling to deliver the packages was his main goal; he would do anything to complete the task in the right time limit. Chick's plane crashed thrusting him through a threshold where time didn't matter and nature was essential for survival. His descent to this new world would soon challenge his very life. Noland's decisions from then on would make him a better person in the end.
Chuck had to learn how to survive on this island and this type of initiation wouldn't be easy for him. The abyss was when he gave up hope for a rescue. That is when he opened the packages he was keeping safe for so long. Soon after, he met his friend and mentor, Wilson the volleyball. Noland went through a transformation and was no longer worried about time and money.
Chuck Noland returned home after a boat found him drifting at sea. When he came home he was a new person. He created a story of hope for the media. At the end of his journey he faced a fork in the rode. Should he go back to his old, hurried life or continue a new, peacefull life?
Chuck Noland had a loving wife and job he loved. He had to sacrifice what he loved most to become a hero. Did he complete a hero's journey? Yes, but he still has the rest of his life to live. Who knows what other challenges he will face?
