Bud not Buddy chap.17-19

1) Eddie Brought an alto saxophone home for Bud.

2) Bud realized that he was actually sleeping in his mother's old bedroom.

3) Bud discovers some flat rocks with writing on them, just like his, in the glove compartment of Herman's Packard.

4) Mr. Calloway never visited his daughter, Angela and grandson, Bud because he never knew where the ran away to.

5) Mr. Calloway's daughter ran away because he was always very hard on her and he always expected a lot out of her. She got fed-up of all the pressure so she ran away.

6) I think Mr. Calloway had a hard time accepting Bud because Bud was claiming that Mr calloway was his father while Mr. Calloway thought that he was just some kid from the streets. I think their relationship changed after he found out that Bud was his grandson becaused he realised that they felt the same pain and had both lost the most important person in their lives.

1) Bud thinks it's a girl's room because of the horse posters on the wall.

2)Herman E. Calloway is not happy to have Bud at his house. He always stays away from Bud and only talks to him in a harsh way. He wanted to send back to where he came from.

3)The Band singer says this to Herman E. Calloway. She is asking him why he wont take care of a boy who travelled all the way there in need of a home but he will take care of any stray dog he finds on the street.

4)Eddie asks Bud this question because he thinks the suitcase is too old and does not go well with what the rest of the band uses to put their things in. Eddie gives Bud his old saxophone case which he does not need anymore.

5)The band calls Bud "Sleepy Labone" because he sleeps a lot and is verry skinny.

Cultural Fact

I found it surprising that the boys had to go through pain to prove their manlyhood. They have to get wipped.
