From: nathan Grade grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: anybody My thoughts are that Bud says his eyes don't cry no more because... he is used to having his life bent out of shape. He must be very used to disappointment and sadness.
From: Trevor Grade Grade 6 Barrington Elementary Upper Arlington, OH	To: anybody My thought about Bud not Buddy and why Bud's eyes don't cry is because he's used to being alone so he is ok with it.

From: Jenn Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Anyone who wants to read this message. I think that Bud's mom saved the flyers because she might know the picture of the man on the flyer might be Bud's father because every time she saw that blue flyer she would start getting fustrated and start putting things right back in the same place they were in. P.S Please write back anyone who gets this message. Pretty please with a cherry on top.
From: Emma Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: anyone who wants to read this I think that she saved those flyers because if anything would have happened to her or Bud that she could be able to get help from her husband ( I think that one of men in the flyer was Bud's dad). Maybe she also thought that if she ever died of something Bud would figure out why she kept them and so if he was in trouble he would find a way to meet his dad. Somebody write back... please.
From: Alicia Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: anyone hello, I think Bud has devised a set of rules to live by because that way the people will always believe him when he lies and he will make more of his time fun to make people believe stuff that is not true.
From: jake Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: anyone Hello, I think Bud's mom saved the flyers because it was her favourite group.
From: Andrew Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Anybody Hey I think that Bud's mom kept the flyers so she would remember where Herman is. Bud not buddy is a good book.
From: Alex Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: anyone Hello, I think Bud says his eyes dont cry no more because he has been in so many houses that have kicked him out that he has gotten used to it so he doesn't cry no more.
From: Nicole S Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Becky I think Bud's mother kept hese fyers because she wantd to remember her husband or another man that in realated to her. I also think she saved the flyers becaue she wanted Bud to know how his father or so if Bud meet him one day he will reconize him. I think the man standing beised the cello in Bud's dad. Who do you think Bud's father is? I hope that Bud meets his father. P.S. Plaese write back soon!!!!!
From: Jenn Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Mary I think that Bud's eyes don't cry anymore because he has been to so many homes that he's used to moving to home after home after home. P.S Please write back! See you Later!
From: Emma Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Mary I think that Bud wouldn't cry anymore because he did not really believe in crying any more . I think that he had gotten sick of crying too often and he soon learned that there was no use of crying and that it wouldn't get you anywhere.
From: Alicia Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Stephanie I agree with you all the way. On the flyer it probably was Bud's dad and his mom did not want Bud to know about his father. please write back.

From: Danielle and Alicia Grade 6 John T. Tuck Burlington, Ontario	To: Mike R We do agree with your comment but you spelt threw wrong!
From: Mrs. Cullen's class Grade 5th Barrington Elementary Upper Arlington, OH	To: Christine and Alycia Our class thinks your answer about Bud not being able to cry was absolutely 100% correct in our opinion. He has been rejected by so many foster families he couldn't show it anymore.
