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.

Bud, not Buddy Chp.9 Text to Person Connection

In this chapter, Bud is comparing an idea to a mighty maple tree.  All ideas start off small, but like a plant, eventually dig in their roots, sprout, develop, grow and spread out to finally being tall and strong.  Identify a time when you came up with an idea (smart or not) and couldn’t let up on pursuing and nurturing it – how did it work out for you (positively or negatively)?  Did it become a mighty maple?
