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.

ZIP ODEEach ZIP code is five numbers, so we're asking that each ZIP Ode be five lines—the number of words in each line is determined by the number in your particular zip code.
