  1. Bud is humorous. One example is when Bud is worried he likes to make jokes. Another example is sometimes when Bud is serious he makes it less serious. For instance when he went to the library and asked the librarian a question, he said I asked one question and she already has us digging through 3 books. The final example is Bud likes to lie and joke at the same time. For instance, when Bud was talking to Bugs he was saying how he whooped the 12 year old, Todd.

  2. One character trait that Bud has is that he wants every one to think that he is a man and not a baby. One example is when he first arrived at hooverville and asked if this was hooverville, the man there asked him if he was scared for tomorrow, bud did not want anyone to think he was a baby so he said ''not exactly scared, nervous maybe''. But Bud was scared. My second example is that when Deza wanted to kiss Bud, Bud did not want to kiss her back, but he was thinking that everyone would laugh at him and call him a baby if he did not do it, and Bud did not want to be called a baby so he had to do it.

  3. A character trait of Bud is he has perseverance. He keeps trying and doesn't give up. For example if he didn't try to get out of that shed he would have still been at the Amos's or back at the orphanage. And that man told Bud he could not get food because that was the limit for the line but did Bud stop trying? No. He kept on trying until that man got mad at him and the family noticed him. And Bud could have stopped trying but he didn't. He tried and tried to get his food. He kept on asking and asking and that man looked dangerous but he still kept on asking until the family came.If he didn't escape the shed he would have been stuck with the hornets the rest of the night.

  4. My character trait in "Bud,not Buddy" is that Bud is brave. My evidence is that in the text it says that Bud was on the lam, meaning that he was on the run. My second piece of evidence that proves Bud is brave is that Bud was locked in the Amos' shed and that Bud was stung by hornets and cut his nuckles after mashing his hands on a fish skeleton head causing them to bleed. My third example is, Bud almost tried to jump a train and was almost caught by the cops.As you can see, Bud in "Bud, not Buddy" is brave.

  6. My character trait for Bud is "Bud is brave"
    In the text it said he is on the lam, if he gets caught the home will take him back to the Amoses house. The Amoses treated him bad. Another one is Bud was locked up in the shed and got stunned by hornets and still got out the window and said the stings are not hurting. He's going back to the mission where the guy said he was going to whip him.

  7. One character trait from "Bud Not Buddy' is he is becoming more mature and taking less risks. One example is he did not say goodbye to Deza Malone because the cops were at Hooverville and he did not want to risk being seen by the cops and them taking him back to the Amose's or back to the home. Another example is when Bud was going to go ride the rails he was behind and Bugs was holding his hand out saying for Bud to keep running and grab his hand so he could pull him into the boxcar. But finally Bud stopped running because he knew he wouldn't make it .

  10. I think one of Bud's character traits is that Bud is tough and brave. One example from the text is that Bud is on the run and if he is caught, he will be taken back to the home. Another example from the text is that Bud survived a very scary night in the Amoses she'd. My last example from the text is that Bud has no mom and he doesn't know where his dad is and I think it is hard to have no parents and be on the run.

  11. A character trait in bud not buddy is child abuse. I know this because in the text it said that Bud thought that he was practicly a man and you had to be gown up at six and the first couple foster homes he had been in taught him that real quick. Another example is the Amoses locked him in a shed where they knew there was a hornets nest and took away the only thing he had left of his mother, his suitcase. Lastly the man at the misson took out a big black strap and was about to strap him because of Buds strong will.

  12. One character trait Bud has is that he is brave. One reason is that Bud went into Amoses' shed. He said a normal kid would have busted out crying, but he was a man and he didn't let "chicken sounding stuff come out". Another reason that shows Bud is brave is that he was going to ride the rails. He was going to jump on a moving train from Hooverville. He was going to find a job even when the cops said no. My last example is that Bud was on the lam which means if you're doing something criminal and trying not to get caught. He could not even show himself to the police which I think is scary. However, Bud was not scared when he was on the lam.

  13. One character trait Bud has in Bud not Buddy is that he is more reasonable. For example when bugs left on the train bud didn’t run after it and he didn’t say goodbye to Deza Malone because he thought it would take up to much time and he didn’t run after the train because it would be point less and he would just end up running out of breath. Another example is when bud was at hoovervill he was standing behind a tree when the police where destroying hoovervill because he was reasonable enough to stand outside the area because he would get shot and killed if they found him.

    Bud is an exaggerator because he when was stung by the hornets he said he saw six thousand. When it was really fifteen hornets. Second Bud is also is a risky person because he said was going on the lam to Hooverville. The Amos think that he beat up Todd. Which made Bud want to take a risk. Last Bud is brave because he was stung a lot by hornets and he was able to break down the window and get out.

  15. Bud is very funny and humorous I know this because he always exaggerates things for example when there were people in front of him to Chicago Bud said "there has to be a million people in front of me." Another example is he says "shucks" and doggone like "you doggone Amuses.

  16. A character trait for Bud is that he stopped pretending that he was a man and a tough kid. My evidence is that Bud didn't hop on the train when Bugs was reaching so Bud could have grabed Bugs hand and be on the train. When Bud went back to get the flyer it slowed him down. Bud thought that he belonged in Flint. Another example is that when the cops were shooting everywhere Bud didn't come out to tell Deza that he decided to stay in Flint. He wanted to tell her that because Deza told Bud that he belonged in Flint,and that he might have family member in Flint. My last example Is that Bud tried not to be seen. I know this because he was still on the lam. If he was caught he would have to go back to the home.

  17. In Bud not Buddy one of Bud’s character traits are being a fighter and not giving up .For example if Bud had given up he still would have been beaten at the Amoses. Another example is that if Bud had given up at the mission he would've been strapped by the guard.He kept provoking the man and was about to get strapped but was saved by a man he did not know.Another example is Bud had given up when he was fighting Todd he would've been in more pain then he is right now.He had fought back and defended himself.If he was not fighter and did not give up he would've been being beat and back at The Home.

  18. One of Buds character traits is stubbornness, I know this because at the mission one of the people who worked there said "sorry but this couple is the last people on line". But Bud was hungry and he wanted food so he kept on begging and begging until the man got so aggravated that he said "okay, kid I'm going to have to teach you a lesson" and pulled out a black leather strap. But luckily a man came and said that Bud was his son and he called him Clarence (but Bud thought that the nice family could have came up with a better name than Clarence). This shows that Bud is stubborn and thinks if he bugs the person enough he / she will finally give in.

    Another example that shows Buds stubbornness is in the Amoses shed when Bud accidentally cut the wasps nest in half. Even though wasps were flying everywhere Bud knew he had to do something and not just stand there. So he tried to get out of the shed in many ways then finally one of his ways worked and he established escaped in one piece. This shows that with hard work and a determined mind you can do almost anything.

  19. Bud is persistent. Bud was willing to walk all the way from flint to The Grand Rapids. This would take Bud exactly 24 hours non-stop
