Connector


 * Connector **

Your job is to find connections between this book and the larger world. This means connecting what you read with your own life, to what happens at school or in the community, to similar events at other times and places, or to other people or problems. For example, you have been researching the depression and make connections between this research and things you read about. Once you have shared your connection to sections of the book, other members of your group will also relate their own connections to the book, although they may refer to a different passage.

Chapter 1 I was surprised to realized that Bud thought that you started becoming an adult at age 6. My mind went immediately to thinking that you make some big moves toward becoming an adult at around 12 or 13 as you take on more responsibility and have more opportunities to be independent. Bud looked at age 6 as the age when your body started falling apart. I think his life fell apart at age six when his mother died. When he said you didn't know what you would lose next... an arm or your leg I could imagine that he didn't have any control of his life and didn't know what would happen next to him.

chapter 8

a conection i made was from the great depression book i got. Its about the same things in bud not buddy because it talks about hooverville and bud calls it hooperville and they end up staying there for the night.
