Fly Away Home - essay example


In the following essay I am going to describe the character of Amy in ‘Fly Away Home’ by Patricia Hermes and discuss why I like her character.

Amy is a young teenager who goes to live with her father in Canada after her mother dies in a car crash. She is independent, this is shown when she rescues and raises sixteen geese all by herself. When Amy says'……… . This shows us that she is also a caring person. She is very determined. This is shown when she flies the plane all the way to America and the geese follow her. She even flies the last little stretch without her dad. ‘……………………’ Also shows she is determined.

I like Amy’s character from Fly Away home because she never gives up. When she says ‘…………………’ this shows she is strong. I like the way that she adapts to a new way of life. I can relate to this because I came to live in NZ when I was 13 and I found it hard starting again and making new friends.

In conclusion, I think Amy’s character is independent, caring, determined and strong. This is shown in many ways throughout the book. I like her character because she is determined and I can relate to her.
