Bud, Not
Buddy by Christopher
Paul Curtis
Pair Task
This story
is set during the 1930s in USA during the era of the Great Depression (poor
economic times) following the Jazz Age of the Roaring 1920s.
Bud, in his relentless
quest to reconnect with his biological father (following the death of his
mother) has consistently demonstrated himself to be a resourceful,
self-sufficient, resilient, inspirational young man when
faced with challenges (even when his dad denies him) because he understands the
importance of family.
As a reader,

life? Also, describe a person (fictional/non-fictional)
that shares Bud’s similar personality traits.
