I would go with Bugs to Hooverville because I love exploring and going on adventures.

I learned in chapter 8, that the place Bugs and Bud are looking for is called Hooverville instead of Hooperville. I thought it was Hooperville. I also learned that Hooverville has more than one and it's named after the president named Herbert Hoover.

I was confused when someone jumped on Bud. But I then figured out that it was Bugs.

I liked the part when Bud said, "I know to wash dishes," That part made me giggle

It was mysterious to me when Deza and Bud kissed each other.

Noah,
It is interesting to learn that you love adventures. I guess I would go too if it was with a trusted friend like Bugs. It WAS freaky when someone jumped on Bud. At first I was worried he was going to be caught and sent back to the home, or worse, to another bad family like the Amoses.

My question is does Deza like Bud and does Bud like Deza? And are they going to be boyfriend and girlfriend?

Anonymous said...

yes,because I would love to have fun just going places but no because sometimes it gets kind of scary being on the road with someone that's younger than you.

Micah,
For question #1, you answered, "yes", but you did not tell us why. Work on expanding your answers using details and examples.
I agree with you about Deeza liking Bud so fast. It was kind of strange. I wonder if she is lonely and needs a friend--or maybe she is just crazy--boy crazy. Either way, I understand why Bud would feel uncomfortable. In the end though, she is a good person and friend.

Micah, #5 is a great RED HOT thought. Let's talk about this tomorrow. Let's also talk about #6.

Good question, Noah.
I can't imagine Bud staying in one place for too long. Plus, he has to solve the mystery of who his father is. What do you think? :)

Great answer to #1, Taya!
You did a nice job explaining your mixed feelings. Like you and Noah, I too like to see new places, but it would be kind of scary being a kid traveling with a younger kid. What if you encountered trouble? How would you (if you were only 2 kids) know what to do?

It might be fun to be on the lam. You never know until you try!

I do agree with you taya and I do think it would be scary to, to go on the road with someone younger.

Micah,
That would be fun to go on the lam. You know what's funner? You and me together on the lam.

Yay!!!!!!!!!
Micah you need to elaborate for #1

I agree with NOAH about his fifth comment but I wouldn't exactly say it is mysterious. I think it was romantic and weird.

Anonymous said...

Micah,
that comment to me doesn't make sense

I think its the other way around Taya. Well it would be fun and it would be `easy to look after. especially youre in charge

Well 2 of the things I think r interesting r: 1.That Bud gets his first kiss. 2.That Bud is usually on the lam.

Anonymous said...

Well for #3 there wasn't really a confusing part.

I know it's disgusting but my favorite part is when Bud and Deza kiss because it's romantic.
