02.07 Free Choice Blog


   The story I have chosen was the story Bud, Not Buddy. The story is about a boy who embarks on a journey to find his real father after his mother dies and he is put in an orphanage. When he was younger before his mom died she gave him a suitcase, plus she gave him a flyer revealing to him that the lead jazz player on the flyer was his father. While he is resting in the orphanage he continuous thinks about his mother and his father who he wants to meet desperately and decides to runaway. However, before he could plan to leave a family spots him and decide to adopt him foiling his plans to escape. While he is living with them his step- brother picks on him starting a fight with him and Bud fights back landing in trouble. He is then locked in the basement to stay till morning, but bud is determined to escape, so he hatches a escape plan to leave and get back at the family for locking him up to begin with. He escapes, gets his revenge at the brother and the family, and sets off to find his father. Along the way on his journey to find his father, he is faced with obstacles that he must overcome in order to eventually meet his real father.

   My personal reaction was admiration, because he had the picture of his father and self-determination in order to take on that challenge-filled journey. If I had to create notes in order to help me remember the most important parts of the story I would use outlines, because it allows you to make heading and subheadings and then create points for that heading sort of like bullets. Another reason why I would use outlines because they are the most common, yet effective note take style you can use when taking notes for a topic.
