Fly Away Peter is distinctive as it is a novel written brilliantly with poetic language. ...
Fly Away Peter is interesting as it conveys some very intriguing ideas about life and human beings. ... Malouf completely blots out the white in this novel. Wholly good people are merely a myth to Malouf, but I disagree. ... “They were locked fiercely, brutishly together, grunting strange words…” Here, Malouf uses words like ‘grunting’ to give the effect of animals fighting rather than men thus Malouf expresses his belief that man is the crazed animal.
The setting of Fly Away Peter is easily identifiable and well described. ... ”
There are many ideas in the novel Fly Away Peter. ...
The main characters enhance Malouf’s ideas in different ways. Jim’s naivety helps to develop Malouf’s idea about ‘evil in all’ as his apparent unworldliness is not something the reader would wish to relate to and so they look closer at what he does not believe is true. Ashley’s intelligence and cool calm personality gives Malouf’s ideas about change a boost. Because Ashley is a likable character and someone people may aspire to be his opinions hold value and because he is a vessel for some of Malouf’s main ideas they are accepted quite easily. ... “Fly away Peter, Fly away Paul. Come back Peter, Come back Paul. ...
Fly Away Peter portrayed convincing representations of human experiences to some extent. ...
Malouf’s ideas seem eccentric in some ways but wonderfully simple in others. ... This made the Fly Away Peter experience an enlightening one, which I am glad I was able to take part in.
