This is a trailer of the movie Cast Away. As below, you can see my assignment of the Compare and Contrast Paragraph of Hatchet VS. Cast Away.
Hatchet Vs. Cast Away
When I compare the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and the movie Cast Away, I find that there are many differences and similarities. Chuck, from Cast Away is a man that survived on a tropical island for 4 years, and Brian, from Hatchet is a thirteen year old boy that survived alone at the Canadian wilderness for 2 months. Even though they are different stories the characters have similar traits. Both characters are from the city and had no wisdom about surviving in nature. Both characters explore a lot. Last, both characters have a strong tie to family.
In both the movie and the book, both characters are very intelligent. They both have knowledge, however, they both start without having wisdom of what it means to survive on your own in nature, both of them don’t have experience of surviving, ALONE. But after they had perseverance, Brian from Hatchet forgives his mother by thinking what she had done for him all these years. After he forgives his mother, his brain feels more free and wanted to survive and see his parents again. Chuck from Cast Away is a very intelligent man with knowledge but no wisdom. After Chuck has perseverance, he is starting to have wisdom and never gives up.
However, both Brian from Hatchet and Chuck from Cast Away both have something that gives them confidence. Brian first was mad at his mother to cause the divorce, and if his mom didn’t kiss the blond man, he wouldn’t be here. Because Brian from the book Hatchet, was on his way visiting his father on his way visiting his father on summer vacation. But he wouldn’t have to visit his father if his parents were living together! As the same thing happened to Chuck from Cast Away, he thinks of Kelly, his fiancée, and knows she is waiting for him. Kelly gave Chuck confidence; Chuck knew he had to keep breathing.
From the book Hatchet written by Gary Paulsen, and the movie Cast Away, starring by Tom Hanks, the both main characters from the book and movie wanted to die at first. Have you ever wanted to die? Brian from the book Hatchet, had perseverance after he missed the plane that had flown by. He had shown perseverance by learning from his mistakes every time. Chuck from the movie Cast Away had perseverance after he missed a ship. He knew that he had hope, he tries to learn from his mistakes when he tried to make fire as same as Brian from Hatchet.
After both characters Brian from Hatchet, and Chuck from the movie Cast Away had wisdom, they are still very different. One is a man that survived in a tropical island for 4 years. One is a kid that survived in the Canadian wilderness for 2 months. They both tried to explore, but in a different ways. Brian from Hatchet explored how to eat things and capture things, Chuck from Cast Away also explored. They’re heart always have wisdom, family, and exploration.
