What is the metaphor for the first paragraph of Kim's life on a desert island?

The first paragraph I think has a wonderful metaphor.

Although he was on a desert island, he was clearly in the city, but everyone turned a blind eye to him.
He wanted to be saved but no one saved him.
He wanted to save himself, but found that it was the world that made him struggle in the water and die.

When he wanted to understand that the urban world might not be able to survive back, and he planned to stay on this island, some strange things happened.

He was totally dependent on the island and didn't seem to get what he wanted.
1. He drilled wood to make fire, and it didn't work at all. Then the lighter that had been soaked in water just ignited at one point.
2. No matter how hard he tries to catch the fish, he can't catch it.
3. No matter how hard he tried to climb the tree, he still couldn't get to the bird's nest.
But, because of a can of modern society shampoo, the fish died. He ate such dead fish and still lived well. But the bird ate it and died. Because of this he ate bird meat again.

What kind of hint is this?
That urban society can make you die? Can you live too?

    In this world, everyone is an isolated island, and no matter how close they are, they cannot be connected to form a piece of land. The distance between an isolated island and another isolated island is the secret of their long standing on the sea.
