Analysis Of Fly Away Home By Eve Bunting

Adversities are a natural part of an individual’s journey through life, but what is it that empowers us to persist through such hardship despite feelings we have reached the end of our capacities? Perseverance. Perseverance is the foundation that enables individuals to push through challenging situations. Both the novel, Walking Home by Eric Walters and the novel The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis are two works of literature that prove how perseverance is the key foundation for individuals to pass barriers set in their way. Muchoki and Parvana are characters who both persevere through family trauma that hits their household, they are able to preserve getting over the discriminatory mental barriers within their damaged countries and additionally are able to persevere through the physical agony faced upon them in their journey.

Adversity has a way of bringing up challenges unexpectedly, most people shrink away from it and get consumed, but when they push through it people come out stronger than they were before.

Sometimes in life, situations may knock you down to a breaking point of giving up. These situations can make you or break you; but whatever you chose the choice is yours. Challenging circumstances can make you feel as if the world is caving in on you. Moreover, you must learn to push through your trials and tribulations and get back up again. Life never said it would be easy, or challenging. You must continue to keep dreaming, and keep that hope alive within your heart, and strive to become a stronger solider for the next mountain that may come against you. In life, we will not always see good days. However, your good days should outweigh your bad days. As long as you have breath in your body, you will always win the battle that’s ahead of you. The story of Lolo Jones exemplifies this breaking point, and the discouragement she experienced to doubt her dreams.

Dwight Lyman Moody once said, " Character is what you are in the dark." This means that a person's true character is brought forward when they go through challenges. I agree with this quote, when people go through hard times the unimportant things are stripped away, and they have to learn to grow and adapt despite the obstacles they face. In the book "The Hunger Games," Suzanne Collins shows how some people's challenges change them for the better, other characters don't know how to cope and take longer to adapt, and how people's reactions differed from each others.

Being a strong person in hardships that life brings sounds unrealistic and unreal. Standing strong in situations when it seems better to give up and leave forever, not facing any difficulties . It seems better for people that way at first. According to “Burro Genius” Victor Villasenor had situations in his childhood life where it seemed difficult to be standing strong. As a Mexican bo, Villasenor faced frequent discriminations from his teachers and classmates.

“ If there is no struggles, there is no progress.” This famous quote was stated by Frederick Douglas. He was an african american abolitionist, civil rights leader, and social reformer that was born into slavery and faced many hardships in his life but eventually he overcame his difficulties and became a very famous colored man in a world full of slavery. In the book “Hope Was Here”, also several characters face struggles that require inner strength to overcome. Some examples are Braverman, Addie, and Hope. All of them had struggles but still overcame them. My great-grandmother had many obstacles in her life, but she still overcame them.

But it’s up to us that the emotions we feel, is the way we react to the things we face in life, just like Jeanne’s family had too keep going on without the altar of the family. Struggle is evident when “We woke early, shivering and coated with dust that had blown up through the knotholes and in through the slits around the doorway. During the night Mama had unpacked all our clothes and heaped them on our bed’s for warmth. Now our cubicle looked as if a great laundry bag had exploded and then sprayed with fine dust. A skin of sand covered the floor. [41].” As a reader, we know that Jeanne and her whole entire family are now struggling more than ever, from living in nice neighborhood in Los Angeles, CA to live in place that the air is dust and live under barrack. Struggle was already a large part of Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and her family’s life, but even through the very hard times they still managed to push through it and keep moving forward. After all, the struggles that they were facing were really hard, they still manage to teach us that no matter what struggles is going on in life, you have to keep pushing through them in order to find the change in life. The most important thing that they have taught us of struggle, is that they always tried to maintain the most precious

The narrator struggled with being tough. In paragraph 78 The narrator says ‘’Alright i'm going I said trying to look brave I started off on my own’’. ‘’My bravery didn't last long.’’ In paragraph 122 The narrator says ‘’Let's go home’’. That's my last reason why the characters struggle during the story.

In the novel The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton Explores the topic: Through hardships we can learn valuable lessons that will teach us so much in life. According to Hope Solo, ¨… overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.¨ This quote proves that if you keep going in life , even when it gets hard, then the hardships that you once thought were not possible to overcome, will help you grow stronger as a person. The advice given, relates to the the novel The Outsiders, because throughout the book, Ponyboy goes through several hard things. Not only does he try to keep going in life , but he also learns to welcome the hardships as Solo was able to do.

“Hard times are about losing spirit, and hope, and what happens when dreams dry up.” (225) In the novel Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, Billie Jo, a young girl living in the Oklahoma Panhandle, finds herself in a tough situation when she sees her mother, the “glue” of her family die, and her beloved farm fail. This situation causes Billie Jo to look for hope to help her get through this tough stage of her life. Similar to Billie Jo, during a person’s life, when he or she is in a hardship or in a tough time, usually, the only thing that gets them through is hope.

Throughout the book, the author teaches the reader that “there’s a strength in all of us the courage to deal with our problems”

Brooks’ novel and Miller’s play both explore how strength is displayed within a crisis, and how it assists in coming to a resolution. Similar to both texts, the protagonists are depicted to be the strongest individuals in a time of crisis; a crisis is also shown to have the tendency to bring to light the resilience within these strong individuals. Brooks’ presents Anna as being one of the strongest characters in her novel through her ability to ignore her “grief” and stop taking “poppy” in order to succour her fellow townsfolk in a time of desperation and need. This strength is also displayed through Michael and Elinor Mompellion, as they use their resilience to display leadership, and to guide the townspeople. Diverging from this, Miller portrays the strength of the characters in his play to be rather selfish, and

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful” -Joshua J. Marine.

Hinton focuses on the topic of: everyone goes through hardships, it’s how you deal with them that teach you a greater lesson in life.

A boy who is being bullied at school doesn't know what to do or who to go to. He has become depressed and a shell of who he once was. He wants to talk to someone about what he is going through. He talks to his friend. His friend says he can not give into the bullies and give them what they want. He has to get stronger for the next bullies to come. Hardships are very common among people who are struggling, but they can not give into those struggles, instead of giving in they need to get stronger. This idea can be seen in many pieces of the following poems.“Invictus” by William Ernest Henley and “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes both convey the message that people who are struggling throughout a
