BnB Response 17-19

Eddie brought a small size alto saxophone to the house for Bud.

Bud suddenly realized that the place, where he was used to sleep is his mother’s room.

Bud discovered a bunch of flat rocks that have different names of places and date in the glove compartment of Mr. Calloway’s Packard. Actually, he was surprised because he has some of those flat rocks.

The reason why Mr. Calloway did not visit his daughter Angela and grandson Bud is because although he wanted to contact them and visit them he didn’t know where she ran away.

Mr. Calloway’s daughter, who is Bud’s mother, ran away because he was very strict to her and he was very hard on her. Actually, he didn’t mean to but he wanted her become a teacher. Therefore, although he loved her so much, as Bud do, he must be strict to her to make her a good student.

I think Mr. Calloway was so stubborn in accepting Bud because Bud was saying that you are my father and without any reason he had to live with Bud together. I think their relationship will change very soon because he just found that his daughter is dead 4 years ago and Bud is his grandson. I guess Mr. Calloway will be so nice so that Bud won’t run away like what his daughter did.

Bud Not Buddy Chapters 15,16 blog response questions

1. Bud thinks this room used to be a girls room who is now dead because when he asked Miss Thomas that two little doors are locked or not she replied, “I don’t think they’re locked, Bud, there’s nothing in there but girl’s clothes and toys.

2. I don’t think that Herman E. Calloway is happy to have Bud at his home because at the bottom of page 179, Herman E. Calloway whispered to Bud so that Miss Thomas can’t here, “You’ve got the rest of them fooled, but not me. There’s something about you that I don’t like. I’m going to find out what your game is and believe you me, scamp, you’re going back where you belong.” Also, after Herman E. Calloway whispered to Bud, he walked out of the room and slammed the door, which shows me that Herman E. Calloway is not being nice to him and being so mean. Furthermore, when Bud woke up everyone said “Good morning, Bud.” except Herman E. Calloway.

3. Miss Thomas says this to Herman E. Calloway. I think what she is saying is that Herman E. Calloway will take care of any stray dog but to Bud he has no sympathy and kindness, which I could see that she is convincing him to be nice and kind to Bud. I think Herman E. Calloway thinks that Bud is a liar, who is trying to steal something from him and ran away one day.

4. On page 191 Steady Eddie asks Bud the question above because if the suitcase is not important to Bud, he would give his old alto saxophone case to Bud because if he is going to be travelling with his band it wouldn’t look too copacetic to Bud to be carrying that ratty old suitcase bag.

5. The reason why the band members give Bud the name “Sleepy Labone” is because Bud slept until after noon. Also, from the name Sleepy represents Bud that he slept too late and Labone is a French word for bone. (I think they call him Labone is because he looks too weak and skinny.) The band members said Labone instead of bone because French always makes things sound a lot classier.

One fact that I discovered regarding my culture of study

The tribe that Kayla and I have to research is pretty interesting and fascinating tribe called Masai. The interesting fact that I found in this culture is that after the initiation ceremony, Masai teenagers are recognized as men and women. Furthermore, the young men are ready to become junior warriors, and the young women are ready to get married.
