Tt deans Keily Lopez April 10, 2015 Humanities 6C Rules Help You Thrive Life can give you lots of opportunities to make your life successful and easier. Some people create rules to help them grow. In the novel, Bud, Not Buddy, Bud is a boy whose mother passed away, and is traveling looking for his father. This story takes place Flint Michigan, 1936. Bud's rules are called “Bud's Caldwell's rules and things for having a funner life and making a better liar out of yourself.” Along the way Bud uses his rules to help him thrive, and be successful. In chapter 3 of the novel Bud, Not Buddy, we are introduced to rule number 3 when Bud needs to lie to get out of trouble, but Todd uses his rule to blame everything on Bud. Bud's first rule is in chapter 2, (page 11). Mm says “if you got to tell a lie, make sure it's simple and easy to remember.” if Bud lied he wouldn't have gotten in trouble with Ms.Amos, and he would've succeeded, that makes him thrive. In Chapter 3 we are introduced to rule number 328. This is when Bud is going to kill the vampire bat, after he's been locked in the shed by his foster family, Bud's rule number 328 is “When you make your mind to do something, hurry up and do it, if you wait you might talk yourself out of what you wanted in the first place” (page 27). Using rule number 328, helps Bud make up his mind in killing the vampire bat. if Bud didn’t follow rule number 328 he would've never got the courage to kill the vampire. By following this rule, he thrived, and was able to kill the vampire bat.'n chapter 7 of the novel Bud, Not Buddy we are introduced to rule number 16, when Bud is in the library and the librarian started by saying, “Haven't you heard?” Bud's rule number 16 is “Ifa grown up starts talking by saying "Haven't you heard,” get ready because what they're going to say will surprise you," (page 56). Using rule number 16 helps Bud thrive because he is ready to what the librarian was going to say... Others may say that Bud uses his rules to survive but | don’t agree. Bud uses his rules to thrive. t's easy to think that he uses them to survive but he uses his rules to thrive because they hhelp him get out of trouble. People would say that Bud uses rule number 87 to survive if he runs ‘away. Rule number 87 is “When adult tells you they need your help with a problem get ready to be tricked-most times this means they just want you to go fetch something for them," I think Bud uses rule number 87 to thrive because he is ready for what the adults are going to tell him, and he could make a goal to run away. Bud uses his rules to thrive, to succeed and make rules so his life can be successful and easy. Pieces of evidence I provide are if Bud needs to lie he can make it simple, also making up your mind, and anticipating what adults say. Having rules in life help you make goals, succeed, and make your life easier and worth living.Name: ts Humanities 6 ic Literary Argument Essay Rubric - Final Draft RN Habits of Scholars Learning Target: | can use rubrics to improve the quality of my work.
