Why does Mike go back to Vietnam to find Nick?

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2013)

In my film studies class, we watched a movie called, The Graduate. In the movie, The Graduate, Mike and his friends go to Vietnam. Throughout the movie, Mike ends up going back to Vietnam to find his close friend Nick. This was a very brave and loyal thing for Mike to do, because he could have easily just left. Mike did not leave his friend behind because Mike promised Nick that he wouldn't leave him. Nick asked Mike not to leave him because he is all he has. Mike found Nick and tried to help him get out as well. Even though Nick had broken legs from falling into the water, and hitting rocks, Mike still proceeds to help him. Without Mike, Nick has nothing. They are close friends and will always be there for each other. This is a very brave thing for Mike to do, but also a very loyal thing too. This really proves the relationship between Mike and Nick.
