Chuck's friends
In the Movie"Castway"Tom Hanks played the man named Chuck Noland.Chuck is a businessman who is always so busy that he has a little time for his friends.He is a successful manager and a company that sends mails all over the world.
One day Chuck is on a fly across the Pacific Ocean.When suddenly, his plant crashes,Chuck survives in the crash and lands in deserted airline.
On the airline, Chuck has to learn to survive all alone. he has to learn how to collect water, find for food and make fire.Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends.
In order to survive,Chuck develop some friendship with an unusual friend.A volleyball,he called it
"Wilson"Chuck learned a lot about himself when he is alone on the Island.He realizes that he hasn't been a very good friend because he is always been thinking about himself.
During his 5 years on the Island,Chuck learns how to be a good friend to Wilson even though Wilson
is just a volleyball.He become a fond of him.He talks to him and treats him as a friend.Chuck learns that we needs friends to share happiness and sorrow.And that is Important to have someone to care about.He also learns that he should have care more about his friends.
When he makes a friend 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 dairy.
The lesson we can learn from Chuck,and all the others who have unusual friends is that friends are teachers.Friendship help us understand who we are, why we need each other and what we can do for each other.
