Bud, My name is Sean I am 14 years old and I have heard your story. It is very inspiring! I had a couple of questions to ask you about your experiences. I am very intrigued that you ran away from your foster home, and you were only ten at the time! What were some of the thoughts that were going through your mind as you were deciding to run away or not? Were you at all afraid that the Amoses would catch you? I would have been. I was also wondering, when Mr. Lewis picked you up, other than the blood in the containers why did you conclude that he was a vampire so quickly?
Throughout your story I heard of the tips you had made. I believe the tips you made for people were called, “Rules and Things”. How many rules do you have to living a better life? I was also wondering how long it took you to write all the rules. I was very impressed of your bravery at your age! You did not really show that you were afraid that much during your journey, even when you woke up in a bed surrounded by a bunch of people you didn’t even know. I hope you have enjoyed this letter.

The Importance of Having a Good Family “Bud not Buddy”
Authors Note: I am writing this to show how Bud not Buddy is a good example of why having a good family is important.
Do you think that you have a really strong relationship with your family? How much time do you spend with your family? In the story of Bud not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis is shows the importance of having a good caring family. It shows that having a family to back you up is very important.
The importance of a family is very big in a kid’s life. In the story of Bud not Buddy it’s about a ten year old boy who is does not have a family and is lost. He ends up being put in a foster home with a family that does not care for him. He does not have people that care about him. He doesn’t know his dad, and he has not seen his mom in years. He is a really lost because of not having a good family.
The result of not having a family could end up really bad. For a kid if they don’t have a family they could end up going down a very bad path, but without a family there is nobody to drag back on the right path. Without any guidance a kid could have a future of trouble. In the story of Bud not Buddy he did not have a real family, he had a foster family. His foster family was not good to him at all. He decides to run away from his foster family. If he had a real family, one that cared about him he wouldn’t of run away because he would have been around people that actually cared about him. He runs away to try to find his real dad. His foster family did not care that he ran away.
He goes off to try to find his dad and on the way he runs into a man by the name of Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis treats him very well. He gives him food and gives him a bed to sleep in. Mr. Lewis knows Buds father so he decided to try to find Buds dad, so Bud could finally be reunited with his dad.
Mr. Lewis is a good example for Bud. He tells him the things that he should do and what he shouldn’t do. He treated Bud like his son. This was very important for Bud. Mr. Lewis does end up taking Bud to his dad. Things between Bud and his dad were a bit shaky at first but at the end things got better. If Bud did not run into Mr. Lewis, who knows where Bud could have ended up, it was very good thing that Bud ran into Mr. Lewis. The story of Bud not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis is a really good example of a story that shows the importance of a family. It is very important

Quote from the story of Bud not Buddy
Authors Note: I am writing this piece to explain the quote from Bud not Buddy.
“If an adult tells you not to worry, and you weren’t worried before, you’d better start worrying cause you’re running’ late.” That is the quote that is that Bud uses as one of his rules to having a better life.
I believe that this quote means that if an adult tells you not to be worried, and you weren’t worried in the first place there must be something wrong. The reason for this is that, why would an adult tell you not to be worried about something that you weren’t worried about before? That would mean that there must be something seriously wrong.
In the story Bud’s mom tells him not to worry about anything. Bud wasn’t worried at all, that is until his mom said that because he wasn’t worried before. He made a good point in saying there must be something wrong if someone says that. In real life this good is a good small tip for someone who’s had a parent or an adult tell them that.

Speech
For my group I did the conflict in the story of Bud not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. Bud not Buddy is about a 12 year old boy named Bud growing up during the great depression. He does not have any real family and he is sent to go to a foster home. The foster families name is the Amoses. The conflict in this story is that the foster family that takes Bud in is not that nice to him at all. Most of the problems come from the Amoses son Todd. Todd pretty much got Bud in trouble for things he didn’t do, but his parents believed Todd not Bud. Another big conflict is when Bud decides that he does not want to deal with the Amoses so he runs away; he went off to try to find his dad.
