Andrew In Eve Bunting's Fly Away Home

“Fly Bird,” I whispered, “Fly Away Home!” Said Andrew in the book,“Fly Away Home” by Eve Bunting, the main character and narrator, Andrew, is hopeful. Things that show that he is hopeful, is that he is optimistic, and also helpful and hardworking. Andrew is hopeful because, he is optimistic. As a result, in the story a bird got stuck in a terminal, and couldn't get out. So, that made Andrew hopeful because, he said to the bird, “Don’t stop trying” and “Don’t! You can get out!” When eventually the bird got out. Another example is because when the bird finally got out Andrew stated, “Fly bird, Fly Away Home!!” At last, at the end of the story, Andrew remembered the bird. The book states, “Then I remember the bird, it took awhile, but a door opened. And when the bird left, when it flew free, I know it was singing.” This shows that he is hopeful because, he knew the bird was singing and someday he is hopeful that he will be just like that bird, going home to his house and singing because, he is so excited and out of the airport. That is why Andrew is hopeful by being optimistic.

Andrew is helpful and hardworking because in the story it says, “I'm saving money too!’ I tell him, and I lift up my foot and point to my shoe. Dad smiles “Atta boy!” Andrew saves money in his shoe. He saves money in his shoe so, he can help his dad save up money for a home. This makes him hopeful that he is helping his dad and he is hardworking by saving money. My last reason why Andrew is hopeful and hard working is because in the book, his friend, Denny states, “If we get a place, you can come live with us,” States Denny. The Andrew says, “And if we get a place, you and your mom and your grandma can come live with us,” Is what Andrew said. Then they both shake on it in the book it states, “That’s going to be great!” That is why Andrew is hopeful by being helpful, and
