Bud Not Buddy Chapter 9

Where did Bud go after breakfast at the mission?

• He went to look for Deza.

• He went to the train station.

• He went to find his suitcase.

• He went to the library.

Why did Bud like the Civil War books?

• He liked looking for his family's name in them.

• He liked history; it gave him a sense of roots that he didn't have with his family.

• They smelled good and reminded him of when his mother read to him.

• They had the best gory pictures.

According to Bud, how are ideas like seeds?

• They start small and grow bigger than you ever thought they could.

• They don't take root unless you tend to them.

• They need a lot of weeding to keep the bad parts out.

• You have to dig a hole before they can really get started.

How did Bud get the idea that Herman E. Calloway might be his father?

• His mother told him.

• A kid teasing him bet a nickel he didn't know who his father was. In desperation, Bud blurted out it was Herman E. Calloway before he really thought.

• The librarian suggested Bud should try to find Herman E. Calloway, so Bud assumed she most have known he was a relative.

• He could see the family resemblance in the picture.

Why did Bud decide to walk across the state of Michigan from Flint to Grand Rapids?

• He thought that if he would travel around the state he surely would find someone who was related to him.

• He wanted to find Miss Hill to see if she had any information that would help him.

• He knew he had to get out of Flint before the people from the home found him and sent him back there. He thought Grand Rapids was as good of a direction as any.

• He knew Herman E. Calloway was in Grand Rapids, and he wanted to find him.
