Fly Away Home by Jonathan Moss

QUESTION 1

jmoss — 2013-12-17 18:56:29 UTC

In class, we're talking about what Acts of Kindness we can do for others. What could you do to help the family in Fly Away Home? Think carefully. I know you couldn't give them a home, and I know you couldn't invite them to live with you and your family, even if they were real. So what COULD you do?

QUESTION 2

Does this book remind you of any of the other Eve Bunting stories we have read in class? Describe how the two books are similar. What text-to-text connections can you make? Use specific evidence (which I know is hard since you don't have the other stories in front of you!)

Write your responses below the correct columns.

I would give them the most money I can so they can have an apartment. I would also give them support and be friends with the boy

This reminds me of One Green Apple because the boy and the dad cant be like other people. In One Green Apple, Farrah can never be american but still make friends. The boy has made friends too.

I like 17's answer. In all of the Eve Bunting books we red, it is always a "first person narrateve

I think 8 and 5 have a good answer. I would also help the dad find more work.

It's kind of like one green apple because the son and father don't fit in because they don't have a home and in one green apple fairs didn't live in the us and she couldn't fit in

I could buy them plane tickets so they could at least leave.or I would try to help them find a home

14

2013-12-18 21:55:18 UTC

I could help them by either helping them find a job or giving them empty bottles and cans.

I t reminds me of all of them because in all of them the first main character is the one who shares his thoughts

12

2013-12-18 22:30:33 UTC

I would give them money and buy them more food.
