1. Describe the setting of Castaway.
2.What was Chuck's major conflict?
3.Describe why Chuck let the love of his life go.
The setting of castaway is on an island in the pacific. There are no other islands around, all Chuck,the main character,can see around is water, water, and more water. There is a long stretch of sand where Chuck first ends up, and there is a tall mountain, where chuck climbs up to see if there's anything around. The island was also deserted, there were not even animals on the island besides the fish around it. That being said, chuck was completely alone on this island.
Chuck had two major conflicts. The first one was he had to learn to fend for himself on this island. At first it was extremely hard for him, as he continued to get injured, frustrated, and discouraged. It took a lot of time and effort for him to learn how to catch fish and crabs, to make a fire, and to get fresh water. He had to make tools to help him on the island, such as his 'hatchet' made out of stone that he accidentally made in the beginning.
His other conflict was being alone. Humans, by nature, are social creatures, and need other human beings to keep sane. As a result of being alone, he has to talk to himself, and later, a volleyball with blood on it to create a face. He names this ball 'Wilson'. Talking to Wilson, Chuck keeps relatively sane.
