Can you live without a friend?

Can you imagine yourself living in a place where there's nobody around you? What if one morning you woke up and suddenly all the people in the world is gone. Or you got stranded or lost into an unknown place. What's the first thing you're gonna do? Where will you go? Do you think you can survive? Just thinking about it... scares me. If this happens to me, I might have a heart attack. It will be hard to live life without anybody to talk to dont you think?

Remember the movie "Cast Away". For 1500 days Chuck (portrayed by Tom Hunks) lived alone into an unknown island and after sometime of his crash he got a volleyball and made it as his companion named Wilson. It plays as a mute, infinitely patient, non-living listener for Chuck but never the less this help him survive his stay in the island. And when finally Chuck had the chance to escape the Island, Wilson was drifted away from the raft. Chuck cries after failing to save Wilson and throws away his oars, seemingly losing the will to live after losing his only "friend".

Another most recent movie "I am Legend", Will Smith was left as the last healthy human in New York City and possibly the entire world to survive from the virus outbreak. All the people in the city died and most became monsters and his only friend left was "Sam" (a german sheperd). They were attacked by infected dogs and lost her. The next night he recklessly attacked the monsters not caring if he would survive it or not.

On both movies we saw how the 2 companions helped them survive their everyday life and made us see how important having a friend in our life. Both Sam and Wilson gave the two main character the strength and hope to live and when they lost them, their will to survive was lost too.
