Cast Away Write Up According To Naturalists
Which of the three factors had the greatest impact on Chuck Noles Fate/ability to survive? First of all, I think this is two questions in itself. Chuck Noles Fate is determined by chance while his ability to survive is determined by his heredity. His intelligence ends up being one of the key tools in surviving the four and a half years on a desolate island. Chance also plays an important role because without chance he wouldn’t have survived for as long.Once of the most important times chance shows itself is when Mr. Noles unbuckled his seat belt in the plane and stood up. Why you would do this while experiencing extreme turbulence is beyond me but it actually saves the man from extinction. On the other hand we see the copilot try to use the same trick but we see later that Chuck takes the man size 9 ½ shoe and tries to fit his size 10 in it. Cutting off the toes seems to work for him though. Another example of chance is how the boxes ended up on the island and not sinking to the bottom or
missing the island completely. The coconuts also happen to be ripe when he is on the island. Although he was there for a long time and it would have eventually came around sometime… it is something exceptional to start out with. So, lets say you’re out in the middle of the ocean on a desert island. You were flying along in the plane, you get bad turbulence, and crash…Yes, yes, we’ve heard this story line before, a particularly good one I recall was The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Its about a boy named Brian. Brian was on a small Cessna airplane, the pilot had a heart attack and died before the hit the ground. Brian survived the wreck with only his hatchet. He also, learned to survive of the ‘fatta the land. He used his hatchet to make spears, and also a bow and arrows. He set up a shelter around a small cave. This situation was also like Mr. Noles’, it too shows us the chance and the heredity themes work. They both land with items, in Brian’s case only with his hatchet, and the t
