...Bud Caldwell is ten years old. At the age of six, Bud’s mother died. Bud lives in an orphanage, called the Home, since he does not have any family members to take care of him. When Bud heard he was going to live with the Amos, he wasn’t very excited. He heard that Mr. and Mrs. Amos’ son, Todd, was two years older than he is. Bud’s friend, Bugs, was going to live with a family that had three little girls. Bud would rather take Bugs’ new family than live with a twelve year old boy any day. Bud had a suitcase full of important things like a photo of his mother, rocks that his mother gave to him from different states and flyers that could lead Bud to his father (who he thought was Herman E. Calloway). The next morning after Bud arrived at the Amos’ house, he was awakened by a pencil that was shoved up his nose by Todd. Bud knew he wasn’t going to let this happen without a fight, but a bed wetter like him wouldn’t have a chance against someone like Todd. But, when Bud slapped Todd, Todd started punching Bud until he balled up in the corner of the room. Then, Mrs.Amose was watching Todd supposedly have an asthma attack while Bud was hiding under the bed. Since Mrs. Amos was concerned about Todd’s safety, she instructed Mr. Amos to put away Bud’s suitcase, get a pillow and a blanket, and take Bud to the shed. In the morning, the Amos would call the home and tell them to come get Bud. Todd kept telling these so called “true stories” to Bud about what happened to the last kid that...

...Cortelyou Academy Lynmaud Paul Grade 5 September 21, 2012 Writing I do not think that schools have separate classes for boys and girls. I believe this because boys and girls will be able to work together better. They will be able to share their ideas. The noise level in the classroom will be reduced. I believe that boys and girls will be able to work together better. In school when boys and girls are in the same class, they will know how to respond to each other. They will be able to achieve higher grades in school as they were as a teen. For example most boys are weak in literacy, while girls are strong in literacy. In this way the girls will be able to help the boys in this subject in order to raise their grades. In addition, I also believe that boys and girls will be able to share their ideas better. For example, when the class is sharing ideas, boys and girls will not only ask for their own gender for their opinion, but ask anyone they wish to. They will also be able to hear opinions from both genders. When boys and girls share their ideas they will use the ideas they learned at school and continue to use them when they are adults . This will help them to become a better individual on their jobs. Hence, I think that the...

As a result, he runs from one of the foster homes because they put him in a shed for fighting the spoiled kid Todd to try to find his father. Instead of finding his father, he finds his grandpa and joins his famous band. For starters, the story would have different if Bud would have hopped the train to go to the west because he would have never joined the band. In chapter 13, Bud found his grandpa and all the band members after he made it to Grand Calloway Station in Grand Rapids. Bud would not know about his grandfather and know what a restaurant was like if he would have hopped the train with Bugs. Also, in chapter 14, Bud went to his first restaurant with the band members, and before that, Steady Eddie gave him a recorder to practice, when he plays with the band.

...Woop! Zoop! Sloop! Bud, Not Buddy is a book about a young, African American boy who has to survive in the 1930's during the Great Depression. Woop! Zoop! Sloop! Is a quote Bud used in the book. Christopher Paul Curtis is the author of this wonderful novel. Bud has been through a lot in his life, but in the depression, that’s a normal thing. Bud, Not Buddy would be a different story if they had modern technology because they would have cell phones, electricity, and they wouldn't have even needed Hoovervilles. To begin with, if Bud would have had electricity it would have been a big help. In Chapter 3, Bud needed to have heat and light in the shed. If he would have had this, his night in the shed could have been much better. He wouldn't have been so frightened by the fish heads, and he would have seen the bee hive. Bud may not have even had to stay in the shed because the Amoses wouldn't have made him be in it with a swarm of angry bees. Electricity would have made everything easier and more convenient....
