Foreshadowing In The Movie Castaway
Overall, I thought that the film Castaway had an excellent plot line and was well casted. But, there were scenes in the movie that I would change. First, I would like to point out that there was great foreshadowing in the beginning with the farm and the girl who made the wings. I was not expecting Chuck to actually go there in the end.

Conflict played a major role in the film. In every scene there was some type of conflict occurring.
There were five types of conflict seen in the movie: man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. society, man vs. self, and man vs. technology.

This type of conflict also occurred towards the end. It was Chuck vs. Kelly. Chuck was so excited that he could finally be with Kelly when he was rescued. But then discovered that she had already moved on and started a family. He still wanted to be with her though, but Kelly didn’t; she made the decision to stay with the family she already

technology. This conflict was very important. When Chuck first gets stranded he can’t make a fire. No matter what he tried he couldn’t start one. He was so frustrated and about to give up, when finally he was able to ignite a fire. Chuck also had conflict with making a boat. The first boat he made wasn’t sturdy at all and fell apart once it was hit by a wave. He was frustrated after that because he worked hard and spent a lot of time making it. But, after being on the island for over four years, he was finally able to successfully create a boat strong enough to go against the

    When discussing conflict everyone has their own definition, but it would generally be agreed that it requires a disagreement between individuals within a group.

These four types of conflicts are man versus another man, for example in The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, a major man versus man conflict are the rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. Another conflict is man versus nature, where a person is in trouble with a force of nature, like a tornado, or in this case a fire.
