Blog Post Number 2 BUD, NOT BUDDY
I am reading a book called "Bud, Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis. It is a historical fiction book and I have read 65 out of 236 pages so far.
In the 15 pages that I have read from Wednesday, the most important things that have happened are that Bud is moving to the west with Bugs, and Ms Hill, the librarian, has moved to Chicago with her new husband. From the second piece of information, I can understand that Ms Hill is a very important person for Bud. He even says that he would be willing to walk to Chicago to see her. From the first piece of information, I can see that Bugs and Bud are like brothers. "Now it was official, I had a brother!" is the quote that lead me to this idea. These developments have changed Bud because now he feels like he is in good hands and that he is safe.
I think that what I have read from this book so far is excellent. My recent reading hasn't fulfilled any of my expectations yet, but I'm sure it will. I expect my continued reading to tell me more about the cardboard village and about how Bug and Bud's relationship will grow. I am very satisfied with what I have read because the book doesn't have a ton of information on one page, and the information is very balanced out throughout the entire book.
"Bugs spit a big blob of slob in his hand and said, 'I knew I could depend on you, Bud.'
I spit a big glob in my hand and said, 'We're brothers forever, Bugs!'" (page 63). This passage from the book reveals that the theme is brotherhood. It reveals that both characters love each other and would defend one another no matter what. This passage challenges me as a reader because it makes me wonder if either one is going to be true to the other and never give up on him.

Good job Leonardo. You really described what is happening in this point of the story. I also find your book really interesting.
