Eve Bunting’s Fly Away Home is about a father and son who live in an
airport but are trying to save money to live in their own home. The father
and son shouldn’t give up hope, because if you have determination, you
can get home. The text states that the dad keeps job hunting while
working at the same time. The dad is trying to save as much money as
possible for a future home. The book also says, “ I save my money in my
shoe” (24). Andrew is really hoping to get their own home with any help
they can get. The text says that the son, Andrew, and his friend Denny help
travelers with their luggage to earn just a bit of money. These kids will earn
money any way they can for a better future. Eve Bunting’s picture book
teaches readers that you should never give up hope because with a great
amount of determination you can get home.

ODE
What is an ode?
“Ode” comes from the Greek aeidein, meaning to sing or chant, and belongs to the long and varied tradition of lyric poetry. Originally accompanied by music and dance, and later reserved by the Romantic poets to convey their strongest sentiments, the ode can be generalized as a formal address to an event, a person, or a thing not present.
