Bud not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are similar because Bud and Naomi are both looking for and find members of their families. They are also similar because they both go through challenges while trying to find their families. These books are different in that Bud tries to find his father but ends up finding his grandfather where Naomi tries to find her mom and dad and succeeds. Another difference is that Naomi has people with her to help but Bud has to find people to help him.
ReplyDeleteBud, Not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are the same Because in Bud, Not Buddy Bud is trying to find his dad, Herman E. Calloway and in Becoming Naomi Leon, Naomi is also trying to find her dad, Santiago.
ReplyDeleteThey are also the same because you can have some of the same thesis statements for both books, for example, Bud/Naomi is brave or Bud/Naomi never gives up.
They are different because in Bud, Not Buddy, Bud has no family or friends to help him look for his dad, Herman E. Calloway. And in Becoming Naomi Leon, Naomi has family and friends to help her look for her dad, Santiago.
I agree with you.
DeleteBud not buddy and Naomi Leon is different because Naomi has a family and bud does not have a family what's different is that bud doesn't find his dad and Naomi does.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that Naomi had friends to help her and Bud only had himself.
DeleteLucy I disagree bud friend is bugs
DeleteBecoming Naomi Leon and Bud, Not Buddy are similar because both have searching for family as a theme. Evidence from Becoming Naomi Leon is that Naomi, Gram, Owen, Bernardo, and Fabiola go to Oaxaca to meet Naomi and Owen’s father, Santiago. Evidence from Bud, Not Buddy is that Bud went all the way across Michigan to find his family.
ReplyDeleteBecoming Naomi Leon and Bud, Not Buddy are different because Naomi goes with family members to find other relatuves but Bud goes by himself to find Herman E. Calloway, who turns out to be his granddad.Evidence from Becoming Naomi Leon is that she and Owen are brothers, and they go to Oaxaca together.Evidence from Bud, Not
Buddy is that his only companion, Bugs, left Bud and went to Chicago while Bud stayed behind.
I like the theme of family because it tells the reader about the characters origins.
Very good detail Josh!
DeleteBud not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon is similar because they are both looking for there family member they are also similar because they both goes through challenges to find there family member.
ReplyDeleteBud not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are not similar because in Bud not Buddy bud did not end up finding his dad instead he found his grandfather and in Becoming Naomi Leon Naomi end up finding her dad.But in Becoming Naomi Leon Naomi had someone taking care of her and in Bud not Buddy Bud had no one taking care of him.
Also, when Bud met Herman, Herman was mean and didn't believe him, but Santiago immediately recognized her.
DeleteBecoming Naomi Leon and Bud not Buddy are similar because they are both having a hard time fitting in. another similar thing is there both looking for there dads and they both never give no matter what. They also both have the same character traits like Naomi/Bud is brave or Naomi/Bud is smart. The theme is the same but also kinda different because in Bud not buddy his mother died and he had nobody left for him in Becoming Naomi Leon Naomi had gram and Owen for him but Skyla came and ruined everything so that's why she looked for his dad and the reason bud looked for his dad is different.
ReplyDeleteBud , Not Buddy and becoming Naomi Leon are similar because they are both trying to find family. Naomi Leon took a vacation to Mexico to find her dad and Bed went from Flint to Grand Rapids to find who he thought his father is. But Bud, Not Buddy and Naomi Leon are different because Naomi Leon has her grandmother, her brother, her two nice neighbors and a dog named Lou Lou to help her. But Bud finds his family all on his own. There is also a difference because Naomi does find her father and the man Bud was looking for was his grandfather.
ReplyDeleteAnother difference is the time difference, Naomi could rent a trailer but Bud walked.
DeleteBud,not Buddy and Suds are similar because they are both being bullied into things, Suds being bullied to be a rat, and Bud being bullied into segregation.
ReplyDeleteBud and Suds are different because Bud is bullied by white people and Suds is being bullied by Joey. Another difference is the time difference, Suds is maybe in about 1998 and Bud is in 1936, which is in the Great Depression and Suds is after that.
Bud Not Buddy and becoming Naomi Leon are similar because they're both trying to find
ReplyDeletetheir dad.Like in Bud Not Buddy, Bud had to
take the train to Hoover ville,and ask someone to drive him to grand rapids,and Naomi, Owen, and gram drove all the way to
Oaxaca and called random people from a phone book asking do they know Santiago. How these books are different is that Naomi goes with family to find her dad,and Bud goes by his self to find his dad, but they both don't find their dad. Naomi finds her dad, but Bud find his grandpa. I felt bad for him but at least he's ok.
I think bud not buddy and Naomi Leon are the same and different. I think that because bud is trying to find his dad and Naomi is trying find her dad too. In the book Naomi got to meet new people like Ruben and Skyla and bud got to know new people like MS Thomas and Herman .E. Calloway. What is different is that Naomi finds his dad and bud did not find his dad but found his grandpa. In the book Naomi's mom is alive and buds mom is dead. One more thing that is the same is that there moms complain about the simplest things in the world
ReplyDeleteBecoming Naomi león, and Bud not buddy are similar because Naomi and Suds are alike because there are both bullies in the two books, and there are both problems with family and friends, and in both books, the characters, and they fall under a lot of peer pressure. Naomi falls under peer pressure when the bullies bullied her, and made her feel bad about herself. Suds fell under peer pressure when judy told him to climb the tree. He also fell under peer pressure when joey told him to act like a fourth grade rat.
ReplyDeleteBud,Not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are alike because Bud and Naomi are both looking for their dad. They eventually find their families.
ReplyDeleteThey are also similar because Bud rode the train the Grand Rapids. Naomi rode in her trailer to Oaxaca,Mexico. This is similar because they both used transportation to go from place to place.
Another way they are similar is Naomi got made fun of by bullies and Bud got abused by orphans and foster families.
They are different because instead of Bud finding his father like Naomi he found his grandfather.
They are also different because Naomi had family with her already while Bud was trying to find his family.
great comparsons and detail. i liked how you compared naomi and bud in differnent ways than most people would have thought. Love it Riley.
DeleteAll the main character are the same because they were all trying to fit in Bud was trying to fit in with the band because they spook like almost a different language when Eddie told Bud to take a seat he said in stead I thing scop a cop and he ponied at a chair so bud sat down and Naomi was trying to fit in beacause everyone else at her school had a whole family and she didn’t so it was hard for her to fit in but she found a freind named Blanca and in fourth grade rats suds was trying to fit in because his friend joe was forcesing him to be a rat and not to be nice suds like he is

Bud and Naomi Leon are alike. Naomi and Bud tried to find their fathers. The difference between Naomi and Bud is that when Bud went all by himself to find his father but instead that was his grandfather. Naomi went with Owen, Gram, Bernardo and others to find her father. What's really different that Bud lives in Flint, Michigan and Naomi lives in Lemon Tree(actually called Lemon Grove) in San Diego. Bud had to take a train and then hitched rides with Lefty Lewis to Grand Rapids. Naomi went to Oaxaca to go to find her dad but she found him.Bud also found his grandfather in Grand Rapids. I felt 100% sorry for Bud when his mom died when he was 6.
ReplyDeleteI think Bud, not Buddy and becoming Naomi Leon are the same because they both were trying to find their dad and they both escaped something like Bud escaped a foster home to do it and Naomi escaped Skyla (with gram and others) to do it. They both found someone of their family in the end. They were both different because Naomi found her dad but Bud found his grandfather. Naomi did it with friends but Bud did it by himself. Bud did it with no place to stay every night but Naomi did it with a place to stay each night. Bud had no family with him and was living in the depression when Naomi was not. Naomi was living in house and Bud was living in a orphanage.
ReplyDeleteI think Bud not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are similar because in Becoming Naomi Leon, Naomi is trying to find her dad, and In Bud not Buddy he is trying to find his dad. And both of them find their dads, except Bud finds his grandfather.
ReplyDeleteI think they are different because in Becoming Naomi Leon, Naomi had Graham and Owen. But in Bud not Buddy, Bud just has people that he meets along the way of his journey, he is alone.
I also think they are different because in Bud not Buddy, Bud is usually very brave. Naomi was really very shy and at the end she got more brave.
Another way they are similar is that both of them found someone, an angel, to help. Bud found the pretend family, Lefty Lewis and Ms Thomas. Naomi found Flora and Graciella.
Bud not buddy and becoming Naomi leon are similar because they're both looking for there dad. They're also similar because neither of them have a lot of money. They're also similar because they both travel very far to find who they're looking for.
ReplyDeleteThey're both different because Naomi has family and Bud doesn't. They're also different because Naomi has a sibling and Bud doesn't. They're also different because Bud got slapped if he did something wrong Naomi and Owen didn't.
Bud not buddy is like becoming Naomi leon because they are both trying to find their fathers. They are also alike because both of them don't have a lot of money. they are also alike because they both go on big journeys.
ReplyDeleteThey're different because Naomi has a family and Bud doesn't. They're also different because Naomi doesn't talk a lot and Bud does. The also grew up differently, Bud grew up in foster homes and an orphanage while Naomi was raised in a trailer.
I’m comparing Bud Not Buddy with Naomi Leon. The 3 things the two characters have in common are:
ReplyDeleteTheir main characters are both looking for family who will take care of them. Bud has to run away from four orphanges and finds himself on the lamb. Then, Bud finds his grandfather sort of unexpectedly. He’s happy to find family who will take care of him. Even though originally he was looking for his dad, he found his grandfather and that’s still family to help take care of him. Naomi’s mom tries to take her away from her grandmother who had taken care of her all her life since her mom gave her away. In the end, Naiomi has to fight to get her grandmother back. Both characgters end up with familiy who takes care of them.
Bud and Naomi are both trying to “fit in”.
Toward the end of the Bud Not Buddy book, Bud meets Herman E Calloway and the Dusky Devistators of the Depression. The Dusky Devistators for the Depression are a band and Herman E Calloway is the lead person in the band. When Bud meets the band he thinks the band is cool. Bud shows his loyalty and persistance learnging the recorder and Steady Eddie gives him a mini saxaphone. Bud says, “in two weeks I’ll be part of your band’. This shows that Bud is trying to fit in with the band.
Naomi was always a quiet person with no friends at school. One day a girl named Blanca came to the school. She was new to the school. She wanted to be friends with Niaomi. They became friends and talking to Blanca opened her up to how to fit in iwth the other girls at the school.
3. Bud and Naomi were both lonely. Bud was lonely because he had no family. Naomi was lonely because she had no friends.
Here are 3 way the two characters are different are:
Bud and Niaomi have very different dispositions. Bud is outgoing and makes friendly easily. Niaomi is shy, and has a hard time making friends.
Bud and Niaomi have very different academic educations. Bud does not go to school. He learns from experience and what he sees. Niaomi goes to school.
Another way the two characters are different is because Niaomi has a little brother, Owen, who is nice and has a disability. This shapes who she is. Bud, on the other hand, does not have any sibblings.
Bud not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are similar because in each book, a kid, approximately 10 years old, is being abused.
ReplyDeleteBud Not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are different because Naomi Leon has her family whereas Bud is all alone.
Bud Not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are similar because in both books the main characters want to find their father. Naomi wants to find her father because she does not want to live with her mother, Skyla, who is mean to Naomi. Bud wants to find his father so he has family.
ReplyDeleteBud Not Buddy and Becoming Naomi Leon are different because Bud does not find his father but, Naomi does. Bud, instead, finds his granddad.
Bud, not buddy and Naomi Leon are similar because Bud and Naomi were abused and mistreated.Both of the stories are fiction and very great books to read.In the story Naomi Leon, Naomi was trying to find her father and Bud was trying to locate his father but instead, he found his grandfather.Naomi and Bud are both be loving, warm-hearted and strong individuals.The reason why they are both strong is that Naomi was brave enough to tell her mother that she was not going with her to Las Vegas and Bud was tough when he went to 3 different orphanages. I can only imagine how he felt being around people who he did not know.The people who took care of Bud abused him his mother passed away and it was really hard for bud.But bud was one powerful boy.I notice Naomi and Bud are the exact same age!
