Model- Summary Writing

The book “Fly Away Home” is written by Eve Bunting.  The main characters in the story are the dad and kid who is the narrator.  The boy’s father and the kid are homeless so they live in an airport.  They do their best to blend into the crowd and stay unnoticed. One day the young boy becomes fixated with an injured bird that is desperately trying to get out of the airport. Eventually the bird recovers enough to slip out a window that is open.  On weekends the father works as a janitor while the little boy and his friend Denny return luggage carts for a small amount of money.  The boy keeps all of his savings in his shoes.  Dad continues to try and find an apartment that he can afford but is unsuccessful.  The story ends with the boy thinking about how the bird preserved and eventually got out of the airport.  It reminds the boy of his own situation and gives him hope that one day he and his dad will be able to find their own place.
