One of the mains ideas in ‘Fly Away Home’ is about Jealousy. Jealousy means that we are feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages. The idea is that jealousy can cause anger and the reasons include when someone has something you don’t have, insults, and deaths.

When someone has something we don’t have, we get angry. In the book, the narrator did not have a home and had to live in the airport. When he heard people welcoming people home, he felt very angry and wanted to know what made those people so special to have a home.  This explains why jealousy can cause anger.

Another reason that jealousy can cause anger is that one can get insulted by others for not having something. The narrator felt insulted when he heard people welcoming others back home. I also have a small anecdote about it. In fifth grade, my friend got an Iphone X which is the newest version of the Iphone, and he insulted me for not having one and I got really angry. This shows that there are more than one way to cause anger with jealousy.

Another way jealousy can cause anger is when someone dies. When people die, wills and other bad things will happen such as property loss. Although wills are good things altogether, they can make people lose things sometimes. Like in fly away home, they only had one home and when the mother died, a will or something similar happened and they lost their home; these are some of the times wills are a bad thing. Because of this, the boy got angry when people have a show that they have a home or family members.

There are may reasons that jealousy will cause anger. Everyday, people get jealous and loose their temper.  These are some of the main reasons this is happening. This shows why it’s happening.
