What if Bud, Not Buddy was written in the present? Bud, Not Buddy is a fictional, but very realistic, book. It's setting is in the 1930s. Bud is a young black boy who lost his mother at age six. He traveled on foot and by car from Flint, Michigan to Grand Rapids, Michigan. He thought a musician named Herman E. Calloway was his father, but actually Herman is his grandfather. Bud then grows up with his grandfather.

This is primarily due to the fact that the setting of the story takes place during the Great Depression. Without background knowledge and contextualization, students will not be able to fully access many of situations and events (such as Hoovervilles, extreme poverty and emphasis on jazz music and trains) in the story. In order for students to really be able to digest this text, the teacher would need to ensure that students have an understanding of the cultural and economic ramifications of the Great Depression. Students must be able to understand the context of Bud’s situation – he is not simply an orphan. He is an orphan during America’s longest and most devastating period of poverty during a time with vastly different technological and cultural understanding from today. To further push the complexity further, the characters speak using language from the Mid 1930’s. Many of the characters’ words and references (such as John Dillinger, Brer Rabbit and “shucks”; see appendix B and c) will be foreign to many 21st century students. Without support from an instructor or from additional background knowledge, students will be unable to access a significant portion of the information in the text. Finally, the author embeds many instances of figurative and abstract language within the text (see appendix B and C). While not particularly challenging to understand, without a solid conceptual understanding of how to identify and unpack figurative and abstract language, students will be unable to access a significant amount of the text. Because of this text’s complex knowledge demands and unusual vocabulary, although, on the surface, this text is not incredibly difficult to read, teachers should be aware that students’ comprehension of this text will suffer if students are not provided the background

The persona of a sociopath appears to be much like any human. In many cases, one would not be able to "pick him out of a crowd." Their minds, however, differ greatly from the average mind. A sociopath is extremely smart and methodical and most often is very meticulous in the way in which he acts. While many people are not thinking beyond the norm, a psychopath thinks about his every breath, step, and word. In the short story "Where are you going, Where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates, the depiction of a sociopath is apparent. Arnold’s mannerism, thoughts and tactics create the perfect portrayal of a truly sociopathic character.

"Bud-Not-Buddy", if written in the modern era, would have been such a different story to read. If "Bud-Not-Buddy" was written in our time the story would have transformed. This story took place in the Great Depression. Things have changed since then, therefore it would be different if in our time. Bud is a little boy whom's mom dies, but if the story took place in the modern era she could have been saved.
