Response: I think the central theme of the book is the importance of family. Bud’s mother died when he was only six, and his life had been very tough. He said one time that “my eyes don’t cry no more.” It would have been very easy for Bud just to give up

In Bud, Not Buddy, the main character, Bud, has a suitcase filled with a few items that are important to him. The items in his suitcase might not be of much value to someone else, but Bud cherishes them because they have special meanings to him. If I were to pack a suitcase and fill it with personal things that I care about, I would bring my photo album with pictures of my mom, my dad, and my sister. The pictures of my family are important to me because I love my family.

Michael Simpson Ms. Gourd Pre-AP 10th ELA March 27, 2018 Running From Racism “ “ It’s Bud, not Buddy, ma’am.” ’’ the famous line from the book “Bud, not Buddy” has a distinctive way from setting apart from other books by the culture represented, how the culture affects the novel, Buds archetype, character development, and the plot and conflict. The culture represented in the novel is African american. The accurate elements is this culture would be speech, customs, traditions, actions, and setting.

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 author uses many literary tools to explain the meaning of confidence in Bud not Buddy. One literary tool used on page 59 is that Bud’s mom had said “when

A third rule that helped Bud thrive in the novel was rule #39. For example, “ RULES AND THINGS NUMBER 39 The Older You Get, the Worse Something Has to Be to Make You Cry.” This rule helps Bud with is social intelligence. It helps understand Mr. Calloway better because he could have walked inside the room laughing at Mr. Calloway but instead he felt a little bit sorry for him. This shows that in Bud, Not Buddy Bud’s rules help him thrive.

For example, on page 27, Bud faced a life or death situation of a bat inhabiting the shed with him. Bud had to hit the bat and kill it immediately. If Bud hesitated at that moment. the bat would’ve injured him. Correspondingly, Bud held no hesitance when trying to drive away from Lefty Louis. He got into position, pulled the gear drive, and left Louis with no second thoughts. Also, Bud had punched Todd, not thinking about the consequences. Bud utilizes rule 328 to recklessly push through problems.

Imagine having to fend for yourself, as an orphan, during the Great Depression. In the book, Bud, Not Buddy, Bud is an orphan and has to go off by himself. He goes with his friend Bugs to get a train to Chicago. When Bud misses it, he goes to the library. He sets off to find his father, Herman E. Calloway, in Grand Rapids. Bud, Not Buddy would have been a different story if Bud had given up because he would've gone back to the orphanage, he would have never gone to Hooverville with Bugs, he never would have met Herman, and he never would've joined the band in Grand Rapids.

The line between a friend and an enemy is thinner than one can ever imagine. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, "True friendship is never serene" (ThinkExist.com). The job of a friend is so much more than a companion, to pass the time with. They help us shape our life, and they're responsible to be that little voice in our ear, to help us analyze our actions and views. Through Amir's relationships, The Kite Runner shows the true role of a friend to point and guide us even when we don't agree; total devotion can ruin not only a friendship, but a life.
