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, what life lessons can you take away from Bud’s story and apply in your life?  Also, describe a person (fictional/non-fictional) that shares Bud’s similar personality traits.
