As he boards the Never Land, however, he realizes “he didn’t know if that was possible-to run away from ‘away’” (3). Instead, though Peter longs for escape from life in the orphanage, he is apprehensive about the journey ahead and contemplates running away.

Both characters are brave, clever, and fiercely devoted to their friends. ![]() Barrie’s iconic character Peter Pan, on whom he is based. Peter shares many characteristics with J.M.
