17-19 Bud not Buddy

1)
Eddie brought home a saxophone that he and the other band members bought together because they thought that Bud has been practicing an awful lot on the recorder and that he deserves to move to the next level of instruments.

2)
Bud suddenly realized that the guest room he was staying in belonged to his mother.

4)
The Reason why Herman E. Calloway never visited Angela and Bud was because he didn’t know how to contact her or where she was.

5)
The reason why Mr. Calloway’s daughter ran away was because he was especially strict on her because she was one of the only people in the Calloway family who has ever gone this far in school. Not that he wasn’t strict with other people; its just that he had high expectations for her.

6)
The reason why Mr. Calloway was so stubborn about accepting Bud was because he thought that everything that Bud said was a lie and that he was just making it up so he can stay in a proper house and everything. But when Herman found out that Bud was his grandson their relationship changed a lot because Herman now feels terrible for being so rude and mean to Bud when he first met him.

Bud not Buddy 15-16

1)
Bud thinks that the room that he is going to sleep in belongs to a girl that is now dead, he thinks this because Miss Thomas said that the girl is now gone. According to Bud’s Rules and Things to Have a Funner Life and Make a Better Liar out of Yourself Number 28, gone means dead.

2)
Herman E. Calloway is not happy to have Bud staying in his house because he thinks that Bud is making this all up and that he’s properly going to try to steal something in his house. Here’s a quote from page 180 that was said by Herman, “And you better not do any snooping around this room or anywhere around the house, I know where every single thing belongs and I can tell right away when something’s missing. I’ve got little secret bells all over everything and when something’s stolen the bell goes off and only I can hear it, so watch your step.”

3)
Mrs. Thomas said this to Herman because she’s saying that when they is a homeless animal he usually takes care of them, but when it comes to orphan you refuse to look after them.

4)
Steady Eddie asked bud this question because Bud always carries his old cardboard suitcase every where he goes. Eddie also gave Bud he’s very own saxophone case. Another item that Bud received was a skinny wooden recorder. Bud was going to have to learn to play an instrument since he is now part of a band.

5)
The band members gave Bud the name Sleepy Labone because now a days Bud is waking up really late and “Labone” stands for him being really skinny. If you translate the name Sleepy Labone to English it would mean sleep bones.

An interesting fact that i learnt during the research was the ceremonies that girl have to celebrate their moving on to a women. Unlike us when they're thirteen they have to perform a ceremony called Kinaalda. Its a four day puberty period. 

Here are the steps:

1) They wash their hair with soap made from a Yucca plant. 

2) For the next three days they get 100 pounds of corn and wheat and grind it up.    

3) Next they make dough for cake, then they dig a hole in the ground and bakes the cake and watches in hole over the night.

4) When the sun comes out, they bless the cake and offers some to the sun and the rest to family and friends.

After this the girls are considered an adult.
