As Bud walks into the the library, he takes a deep breath and thinks about "no other place smells anything like it." He mentions the different things that give the library its special smell. Describe some places on your life that have distinctive smells. How do you feel when you are in those places?
What has Bud learned about families?
How is Bud feeling as he walks alone in the dark? How would you feel if you were in his place? Would you make the journey?
Question #1: When i walk into my house I feel it smells like nothing and sometimes when it gets clean it smells really good so i like that smell.
ReplyDeleteBrianna
Questions #2: Bud has learned some things about families. Here is one. He learned that he actually had a family. Well, a brother.
ReplyDeleteBrianna
Questoin #2: (I fortgot a whole part) He learned thyat a family is the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteBrianna
I have really enjoyed reading your posts. I agree with Brianna that Bud has learned the importance of family. I think he feels like he is missing out because he doesn't have a family. He remembers what it was like when his mother was alive and he wishes he could get that feeling back.
ReplyDeleteBud comes in contact with different types of families. These families do not fill the void that he feels from his mother's death. I know that I cherish my family. My family is the most important thing to me.

Mrs. Gershon,

You guys might think that this is sort of wierd, but I like the smell of new shoes. It actually makes me feel calm. I don't know why.

I remember the smell of my grandmother's house. Something delicious was alwyas cooking..it was a safe place where I loved spending time.

Elida,
ReplyDeleteI agree with youi i do love the smell of new shoes!
Brianna
Mrs. Malec,
ReplyDeleteSame with my grandma. She is always cooking something and i love the smell of it.
Brianna
I think that bud has learned that families can be very different. For example, the Amoses were really mean to him, but the family that got him out of trouble when he was trying to get food in that line were nice to him...at least the parents were. The kids were sort of selfish and mean.
ReplyDeletebrianna , \ i really like the book so far too

-Elida

ReplyDeleteMrs. Malec
Spencer,
ReplyDeleteHow do you not like the smell of gasoline????
-Elida
Spencer,
ReplyDeleteIt would be really happy because then he won't be an orphan anymore, and he would be more loved than he is because hes not loved at all. Except for Deza Malone.
Brianna
Everyone-
ReplyDeleteI think that Bugs and Bud will seperate and then colide together!
