My Year 8 English Experience

Class film- Fly Away Home 

When did her journey start: when she goes to Canada or when she finds the eggs?

These were two special events for Amy in the film Fly Away Home. However, the question is “When did she actually start her journey: When she went to Canada or when she found the eggs.” Well I don’t think that her story started at any of these events. I believe that her journey started when she met her father in hospital for the first time in years.

Of course, it would take some getting used to before Amy could comfortably socialise with her father. Remember, she had only just met her father after years of spending time with her mother, who had sadly died in a car crash. Her mother’s death, as well as everything being so different in Canada, had affected Amy’s emotions, causing her to rudely react to her father.

But when Amy found some geese eggs that had been abandoned by their mother, it revealed that she had a soft heart. She took the eggs and cared for them, until they hatched.

As the geese grew, Amy realsed that they needed to fly south to avoid the harsh, winter conditions that approached. They needed to get to a suitable climate where they could live and find food. This is where Amy began her quest to fly the geese home.

Amy and her father started to work together, both having a similar goal in common (to fly the geese home). They found a use for her father’s flying machine that he built. During this time, Amy learnt new things such as how to fly the flying machine. Together, Amy and her father worked hard, boosting the relationship between them and increasing trust for each other. They worked together until the day came when they were ready to fly the geese home.

This was a big challenge for Amy, but her father helped her along the way and supported her through it. Amy gained more persistance and trust for her father, and I think that their relationship would just keep getting better afterwards.
