Hope In Eve Bunting's '¨fly Away Home'

Not giving up...Itś a positive thing that can help you in life for a better future. In the story, ¨Fly Away Home,¨ by Eve Bunting, Andrew, a kid who has lost his mother a while back and lives in the airport, is one character of many who show how not giving up hope is important. The theme of never giving up hope is seen in the story with how the characters don't get noticed, how they are courageous and brave, and how they work towards a better future.

In the story, is a common detail throughout the story. Andrew and his dad have to not get noticed or else they will get kicked out for living there. ¨We stay among the crowds¨. They don’t sleep close to their friends because that will get them noticed easily. They also sleep upright instead of laying down because that will also very easily get them noticed for living there. They are constantly moving from airport to airport each night so the security guards won’t notice that they are living in the airports. This is one of the reasons that supports my claim.
His mom died a few years back, but that didn’t stop him from keeping on going with life. When his dad goes to work he stays with his friends Denny and Denny’s Grandmother for the day who also live in the airport. Another way Andrew shows courage and doesn’t give up is how he helps people out with luggage for 50 cents a bag. ¨Can I call you a cab?¨ Another way he helps is that he calls cabs for people that need a ride. These are the ways that Andrew is courageous and doesn’t give up
