While Jerry is crying, Bud comforts him by saying Jerry will be far better off living with his foster family than Bud is. In the first chapter, Bud and Jerry, a younger boy also in the home, are told that they are both being sent to different foster families to live. The children are constantly crying, extremely malnourished, and not receiving any kind of basic care and support a child needs. Ironically, this place is called a home, but it is far from that. The “Home” is known to be a place for orphans or for children who are waiting for their parents to get out of what ever kind of trouble they may be in for the time being. It starts off with Bud being in a place called the “Home” with other children. The setting is in Michigan and around the time of the Great Depression. The book Bud, Not Buddy, written by Christopher Paul Curtis, has many different events and turnarounds that take place.
