Bud, Not Buddy shows how blacks were mistreated during this time. There are multiple parts in the book where this is shown. One time Bud was abused because he is a black boy. This teaches the reader how much things have changed between white and black people.
Also, in the book people in the upper economic class have a lot more authority and disrespect the lower class. The upper class doesn't care about the lower class at all. For example, Bud tried to get some food at the mission but the line was closer. He begged the worker to let him get food and he wouldn't let him. He had food and money at home and did not care that Bud didn't have anything.
I believe that Bud, Not Buddy is a helpful book for all ages. It informs the reader about how things used to be and how unfair people were treated. This book is a great historical fiction book, it not only teaches but is interesting at the same time.
I agree. I thought the book was really insightful and portrayed an accurate as well as unique look into the time. Bud's voice in the book was very powerful. I liked that it was based in Michigan because that's a cool thing for kids when they can read about a place they can really understand or might have experienced.
