Bud Not Buddy Sparknotes
The historical events is my book Bud, Not Buddy were in fact true but, the main plotline of the story (Bud’s perspective) wasn’t. The Story describes the problem in the story, The Great Depression. The Great Depression was infact a real event that had lasted from the 1920s to the 1930s. The book shows that many families were in trouble needs for example, Bud mother had died when he was 5 years old he was put in an orphanage but, after he was put in awful family he had ran away in search to find, to what he thought was going to be his father.
During his adventure he was with his best friend bugs they had went to Hooverville hoping for extra food to eat. Hoovervilles a poorly built town made by homeless people during this time.

They are two different masterpieces in my eyes. They both show the living conditions. For example, In the book, A Night To Remember people were rich unlike the storyline in Bud, Not Buddy were there were millions of poverty-stricken. In A Night To Remember thousands of people were on a very well built boat, The Titanic. People were dressed properly and nicely with different new designs of dresses and suits. They was a lot of food for people to eat and there was also elegant music playing throughout the night. But, for Bud, Not Buddy the scenarios were totally different in this time of state in the book people were going downhill, clothes were not elegant and were rather poor than new and ‘specially designed’. They rarely had food to eat people had died from different diseases and starvation, but they also had music but, the music was mostly jazz and another popular music type the

    No bud doesn't he never even knew his dads name. But since then Bud has been on many let's say fun adventures and even kissing a girl but he was a foster child and escaped from this family named the Amos. Bud, Not Buddy would have been a deferent book if there would have been modern technology because he could have called his dad, he could have watched tv instead of fitting with Todd, and the police would of caught up with him faster. To begin with, bud could have found his dad and that would completely change the story as a whole. If he could have called his dad he wouldn't of had to walk all the way to grand rapids to see him.…

    Bud, Not Buddy is a story loved by the nation, but if it was written in the Amos's perspective it would be a whole new book. If it was written in the Amos's perspective we would only know lies about Bud. Also, Bud would probably be known in a different way (because they don't like him very well.) Also, the book wouldn't be about Bud (So the title would be wrong.) So, if it was written in the Amos's perspective we wouldn't know what happened to Bud in the original story.…

    Maycomb, Alabama during To Kill A Mockingbird is during the Great Depression and is an old town. Everything seemed to be routine as described in the book.

He was a lawyer that represented a black man accused of rape of a white woman. In small town everyone knows everybody and their business so it’s hard to be private. Either you fit in or you’re out. Kind of like the groups and cliques we have in society today.…

    Chicago as well as The Great Gatsby, shows the renowned lifestyles found in the Roaring 20 's beyond the glamour of lavish parties. Both the novel and the musical create an ambience where drinking is plentiful, sex is a fixation, and corruption is abundant, yet they both capture how exquisite and outrageous these worlds seem to audiences in the modern era. In these worlds, everything is ostentatious, whether it 's the glitz found in the jazz club performers or the party-goers. Since The Great Gatsby discusses mostly the upper classes of the 20 's and Chicago focuses more on the lower class of the average American at this time. Being examined together they can provide a more in-depth perspective into this fascinating decade.…

Her brother Tom and mother Amanda are worried for her, due to the fact the United States is at the end of the great depression and the start of World War II (Williams, pg.…

    Forrest Gump is about a man, Forrest Gump, who is not very intelligent, and his one and only love, Jenny. Through life, all he thinks about Jenny. However, his life took him through various situations, and somehow, mostly by accident, he was present during several of the major historical events in the United States. He meets the famous Elvis Presley, fought in the Vietnam War, meets the President of the United States on several occasions, is present during anti-war rallies, and even lives through the start of the grand Apple company. Personally, history has always been a troublesome subject for me because it is based on memory. I, like many other people, seem to retain ideas or information that seem interesting or useful to us. I did not find history interesting, therefore I never could remember events that occurred. However, when my class was discussing the mid-to-late 1900s, my teacher decided it would be helpful for us to watch this specific movie to hopefully allow us to better understand the situation. Since Forrest Gump’s setting is around a large period of time, it really allowed me to see what the mid-to-late 1900’s was about. With Elvis Presley in the movie, an icon of the mid-1900s, we are able to see the style of music and fashion that was popular back then, which can be very helpful in the arts. The Vietnam War was a huge component in this time period,…
