Students,
Nice job answering our first post. I hope everyone can get on now ans is more comfortable with blogging.

What are some of the most vivid, interesting, funny or sad descriptions in the book so far? Why do these descriptions stand out?

In chapter 5 Bud and his mother discuss doors opening and closing. How does this metaphor relate to Bud?

How does Bud use his list of rules to help him through difficult situations?

  2. I think Bud's lists of rules help him through difficult times because They are calles Bud Caldwell's rules and things to have a funner life and make a better lier of yourself.

  4. Question #1: I think that the sad part was when they locked Bud in the shed. I don't think that they really had to because there was no reason.

  6. Question #3: Bud uses his list of rules to help him during difficult times by following the rules. He probablly uses the rule that is have a funner life a lot because its true and that is a rule that people may have

  8. Question#1-
    I think the worst moment in the book so far is when the Amoses locked Bud in the shed for trying to protect himself. If you think about it, the Amoses are just selfish people so Bud didn't deserve that at all.

  9. Question#2-
    This metaphor relates to Bud because of his name and how his mother says that there is always an opportunity to blossom (shine.)Also, the saying means when the path ends (something goes wrong), turn around and take another path
    (relax, fix it and turn it into something good.

  23. Question 2: I think this metephor relates to Bud because it happens so often. When something bad happens to him there is always a way for him to close the door and open a new one.

  25. Amy,
    I try to look at things that way. For example...if you don't get a job or a house that you really wanted...a better opportunity (house, Job...whatever) is probably waiting for you. SOmetimes it is hard to see when you are disappointed.
