Bud not Buddy Response

1) Bud thinks that the girl that used to sleep in the room is dead because he was told that the girl was gone and in his book of rules it says gone means dead.
2)I don't think that Herman E. Calloway enjoys having Bud in his home because on page 185 someone points out that he doesn't have any sympathy for Bud.
3)The statement "I can't believe you, you'll take care of any stray dog through this neighborhood, but when it comes to a child all of a sudden you have no sympathy," on page 185 is said by Miss Thomas. I think she says this because Herman E. Calloway doesn't talk or say anything to Bud so he won't take care of him and lets the other members take care of him.
4)I think that on page 191 when Eddie asked Bud a question he is asking the question so that the band looks a lot better and not so scrappy. I don't think that they would want to be seen with a boy that has a scrappy suitcase so he decides to give him his old saxaphone case to carry his stuff in.
5)When the band give Bud the nickname Sleeby LaBone they were trying to get a fancy and "cool" name for him when they annouce his name on stage. They came up with the name because he is so sleepy by staying asleep until 12:30 and LaBone because he is so thin.
