chapters 1-7

chapters 1-2
In chapter 1 it introduces Bud and everybody else.  Bud is the main character in this book.
in chapter one Bud moves in with a family (the Amoses ).   When he got there he found out that Mrs. Amos did not like bed wetters so he got rubber sheets or that is what it smelled like.  .  So he went to bed..................  The next thing he knows there is a pencil up his nose so him and  Todd or Toddy as his mom calls him had a fight that got him in the shed for the night. He begs to not go out in the shed they don't listen so he spots his suit case and a big gun over it.  

chapters 3-4
The shed was a scary place there was a bat in the top corner ( or as Bud thinks )  so he thinks of a way to kill it he tried to cut it in half with a rake it worked.  Then he heard a buzzzzz he turned around he saw that what he had thought was a bat was a hornets nest.  Then he was attacked by a bunch of hornets he opened the window got it he said.  He found his suitcase and the gun and thought the only thing that was on his mind was "Aha you doggone Amoses, that hurt, but now i get my revenge.

chapter 5-6
Right at the beginning  he looks at the library's basement window darn he said they had put big black metal bars.  So he slept under a big Christmas tree and he found out that the Amoses had messed with his stuff and was he mad.  He went to the mission to eat you know everybody has to eat.  When he got there they would not let him in he was to late then one nice family pretended that he was there son.  when they got in the little boy was all mad because he had to share his brown sugar.  T
rust me he was not happy. 

Chapter 7

 Bud  goes to the library he wants to know how to get to Chicago so he ask the librarian  and she pulls out one book after another. In the end she had pulled out three books that is why you dont talk to librarians they tell to much one thing after you know it Bud all most fell asleep she took so long.  The reason he wants to go to Chicago is he wants to find were Ms.Hill lives(she was the past librarian.)  She said that it would take 54 hours that is more than 3 days.  Bud goes under the tree and then all he knows is he fell a sleep.

Bud, Not Buddy Prediction

I think  that it will be about a boy that wants to be called bud instead of buddy.  It kind of looks like he is going to run away because he has his  bags packed.   I think  that the reason why he is running away is that he dose not like the way he is being treated or he wants to go some were other than were he is like he is not happy with his life.  I think that it takes place in the mid 1900's. 

How i feel in chapter 14 and the Epilogue

I felt so scared in chapter 14.  I felt scared  after it said that there was a bomb dropped on Joey's church because Joey is a nice girl and i do not want anything to happen to her.  after they said that Joey was fine i was happy.  

How i felt after the Epilogue?  I felt like I know what went on after and I all ready knew that stuff but it helped me understand when the time is in the book.  I understand the hole book now that I read the Epilogue.  It really helps you.  You might think that it is not important but it is. 

my favorite chapter and why.

My favorite chapter is chapter 14.  That was my favorite chapter because there was like no action through out the book until you get to that chapter kind of like they save all of the action until that chapter only.  So it was like kind of slower than the rest of the chapters until you get to a little before the middle of that chapter.  Then you start to read and you can not stop.  I think through the book when is the action coming?
