  1. When Mary had her little lamb it followed her everywhere. The little girl Mary and the lamb went away from home and came back just the same. So the Home Away Home part in this is that Mary and the lamb went to school the store all kinds of places, but they always come home that night and do pretty much the same thing the next day.

  7. My home-away-home story is about the gingerbread boy. At first the gingerbread boy is made at home. Then he runs away so he won't get eaten. He gets chased by all kinds of animals. At the end, he goes back home again. There is change in my story because at first he was created, then he comes alive, then he starts running.

  31. The book I chose to show Home-Away-Home structure is The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe. The characters Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy travel to a mythical land called Narnia through a wardrobe. After MANY adventures, they return home through the wardrobe. The only Pattern of Change I see, in this first book, is the seasons.
