Tom Hank's Message In Cast Away

160 Words1 Page

The message in Cast Away is not necessarily about human survival, but survival of the human spirit. Tom Hanks portrays a guy who doesn’t really appreciate what he has. Now he alone on an island with a volleyball as his only friend. He has to accept what he has now, physically and emotionally. He finds a volleyball in a FedEx box. He administers his blood onto the ball. It becomes Wilson. Wilson is his only friend. He never gives up. When he couldn’t get the coconuts open at first, he didn’t give up. It was up to his spirit to up give up. If he lost his ambition to live, he probably would've died. Last of all, survival is easy, living is not. Survival is your basic instinct, it’s how you cope with your survival that counts. It all comes back

    786 Words  | 4 Pages

    Contention-As we know, Michael Gow’s ‘Away’ draws heavily from the lives of Australians after the Vietnam War. Coral and her journey to the Gold Coast after the loss of her son to the War is one major example of a transformational journey, physically and emotionally, and can be seen throughout the play as Michael Gow employs an abundant use stage props, movement and actions, and character intent to demonstrate the power of the journey she takes.

    His entire trip was a journey for him to find himself, and I think his bigger journey is when he left home and decided to travel and survive without giving notice to anyone. He felt misunderstood by his parents, and maybe he thought by leaving and surviving on his own that would somehow show them how he thinks and feels. He also had pent up feelings about his parents from the past that maybe he was trying to work through by leaving. Despite the fact that he dies, his ultimate goal was to convey some sort of art in fleeing with no money or job and attempting to survive on your own as a young adult. People hear his story and want to do what he did.
