FAMILY

One main idea from the novel'Boy Overboard' written by Morris Gleitzman is FAMILY. The idea of Family is important because it shows how much they care about each other and will do anything just to be together. An example of the idea FAMILY is shown when jamals says " if the government finds out a girls been playing football, Mum and Dad are in big trouble". This made me feel important because i am very grateful that i have a family to support me throughout my life.

One main idea from the novel boy overboard written by
Morris Gleitzman escapes the idea of escape. It is important because it shows how desperate they wanted to escape the country of Afghanistan. This shows that there family wanted to escape. This is shown when Jamal says “we are going to escape to Australia”. This shows me that they badly want to leave Afghanistan

ESCAPE
one main idea from the novel boy overboard written by morris gleitzman is family.The idea of escape is importanat because it shows that their trying to run away from what they don’t agree on and where they are living now is not really safe.
An example of the idea of escape is shown when he says we’ve got to get out of the house tonight.
This shows that they are scared and terrified that they will die.
This made me feel uncomfortable and angry I felt that they had no chose but to die, because there was nothing to do? And because they don’t have the freedom we have now. I feel bad for them because

They don’t have the life we people have they have to run, and run. If I had the chance to help those people I would because I know that if I was them they would help me.
