CHUCK'S FRIEND
In the movie Cast Away Tom Hanks plays a man named Chuck No land. Chuck is a businessman who is always so busy that he has little time for his friends. He is a successful manager in a company that sends mail all over the world. One day Chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean when suddenly his plane crashes. Chuck survives the crash and lands on a deserted island. On the island. Chuck has to learn to survive all alone. He has to learn how to collect water,hunt for food,and make fire. Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends. In order to survive, Chuck develops a friendship with an unusual friend--a volleyball he calls Wilson. Chuck learns a lot about himself when he is alone on the island. He realizes that he hasn't been a very good friend because he was always been thinking about himself. During his five years on the island. Chuck learns how to be a good friend to Wilson. Even though Wilson is just a volleyball, he becomes fond of him. He talks to him and treats him as a friend. Chuck learns that we need friends to share happiness and sorrow, and that it is important to have someone to care about. He also learns that he should have cared more about his friends. When he makes friends with Wilson, he understands that friendship is about feelings. and that we must give as much as we take. A volleyball is certainly an unusual friend. Most of our friends are human beings, but we also make friends with animals and even things. For example,many of us have pets, and we all have favourite objects such as a lucky pen or a diary. The lesson we can learn from Chuck and all the others who have unusual friends is that friends are teachers. Friendship helps us understand who we are, why we need each other and what we can do for each other.
