He thinks that about everything that people say are bad and he has a rule for each of them. One It is my opinion that you should read Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. This takes place in the time period of the Great Depression in Flint,Michigan. I think that you will like the story because of how Bud acts.The main character is Bud and he is a ten year old child.He has gotten pushed around by the foster home and his many foster families but, then he escapes and finds that family he is looking for.I think you will like this book and Bud because he is very brave, funny, and sneaky.

I think that Bud is brave. The reason that I think Bud is brave is because when he gets to his new family they are mean to him. He finally finds a way to escape from them and is on the lam. I think that is brave because he could get found by one of the people from the home and get sent back or he could be found by one of the people he escaped from. He could also be found by the police and get in very big trouble.When he escaped from the people that took care of him he started walking. He walked in the night and in the woods. I think that is pretty brave, I wouldn’t walk in the woods at night all alone.  He wouldn’t be afraid of animals in the woods he would be fine. That is why I think that Bud is brave.

Brave is one  of  buds main qualitys but funny is one thiing that bud is very goof at.One of Bud’s rules are….Rules and things to have a funner life and make a better liar out of yourself #63 is “never,ever say something bad about someone you don’t know-especially when you’re around a bunch of strangers.You never can tell who might be kin to that person or who might be a lip-flapping, big-mouth spy.”

Being brave and funny are somethings that Bud is very good at but he is also very sneaky. Bud is very sneaky all the time. The reason that he is sneaky is because he is ten and he is afraid of somethings. He is afraid of some people around so he has to be very careful and sneaky. One part in the book he is very sneaky. When he was trying to get out of his new familys house without waking them up he was very sneaky. He removed the gun from the wall and had to open doors. He even turned on the water and filled a cup up. Even after that he took a risk and went into his “brothers” room and put water all over him so he had to be really sneaky.

So  in conclusion I think that you will like reading Bud, Not Buddy. Bud is brave, funny and sneaky. Also he is only ten. I think that his humor will get you laughing, his braveness will get you scared and his sneakyness will surprise you. Those are the things that I felt when I read this book. I hope you do too.
