Are these kanji correct?
I've been learning Heisig from the books for about three years now and I've noticed that a number of the kanji reproduced here are not the same as in the books - 'wrap' and 'straightaway' are two examples. Can anyone confirm if these are errors or just a different style of writing?

Indeed they are correct

The characters that use the 'turkey' element all have a stroke that is back to front. Can someone check this for me, please.
