Bud, Not Buddy
Bud, Not Buddy
Bud, Not Buddy is the second children's novel written by Christopher Paul Curtis
set during the 1930s.
Main Plot
The story follows a young boy named Bud Caldwell on a quest to meet his father
that he never met, with the few physical clues left by his momma and goes on an
adventure from a rough life in Flint to Grand Rapids in Michigan. Being put in a
foster home and getting bullied from the Amoses, then going on an escape and
camped in a Hooverville, then getting to Grand Rapids with Lefty Lewis, then
meeting his supposed father who leads a band. It is truly one heck of a
rollercoaster!
My Thoughts on it
Moral
Metaphorically and symbolically speaking, let's replace the main character Bud with
a real bud, a living breathing creature, of which it is in its infancy, though it is still
developing and not ready to fully meet the world.
