        <description><![CDATA[When Bud and his friend Bugs reach "Hooverville," the cardboard jungle of homeless people, they are reluctant to approach the people around the campfire. To decide who will have to do it, Bugs takes a penny from his pocket and says "Heads I win, tails you lose."
The coin landed on the tails side, so Bud lost. But look at how the wager is worded--Bud would have lost had the coin come up heads, as well. In fact, the wager is rigged such that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Bud's first image of the Hooverville near Flint gives a clue to this:
"And there were more people sitting around than I first thought, too...They were all the colors you could think of, black, white, and brown..."
Because need is the great equalizer, the people that Bud and Bugs encounter during their night in Hooverville were all the same color--dirt poor. Ironically, the one hint of racism in this chapter occurs when Bud asks about a white...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The answer to this lies in the novel's setting. The story takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930's when many Americans were unemployed. In the Midwest, where Bud lives, poverty was made worse by the Dust Bowl. Many farmers in the Midwest saw their farms literally blow away when prolonged drought turned their once fertile fields to dust.
The American West seemed to offer people affected by unemployment and farm loss greater...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Let's begin with the basic gist of the story.  Just for starters, it is a Depression era story about a boy named Bud Caldwell.  He is only ten, and yet he finds himself escaping both a horrible orphanage and mean-spirited foster home.  His reason for escaping is simple:  he wants to find his real father. 
Perhaps the most important item in the story is the tattered suitcase Bud carries.  In fact, Bud guards that item with his life (which...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Reading the part where Bud, Not Buddy had to hide in the bushes every time someone passed him is very sad.  Not only was he at a disadvantage for his race, but his age.  There were many runaways and orphans hiding from the law.  The times were hard for these children all over.  Foster parents were mean and money hungry.  Their lives were no better in the foster home than the orphanage.  Children were treated horribly and just like the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Bud, Not Buddy's suitcase symbolizes a life story.  In this case the young boy had all hids life possessions in one spot.  It gave him a feeling of home away from home.  He had his blanket that he used to cover himself up when he was in difficult situations.  The flyers were a symbol of a past life story.  At the end when we find out who Bud, Not Buddy's mother really was we realize that she must have been following her father with these...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Herman E. Calloway's reaction is one of anger and surprise.  In his abrupt manner he questions Bud, Not Buddy about his knowledge of these stones.  His reaction to Bud's comment immediately set my imagination on fire wondering if there was a connection between his stones and Bud, Not Buddy's stones.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Mr. Lewis tells the policeman that the suitcase in the backseat belongs to Bud.  He says that Bud "was visiting here in Flint and (he is) taking him home to Grand Rapids".
The story Mr. Lewis tells is close enough to the truth to allay suspicion.  Although Bud had not actually come to visit in Flint, having been trying to get out of the city to find the man he believes is his father in Grand Rapids, the suitcase is indeed his, and Mr....]]></description>
