YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE UP WHEN THINGS LOOK BAD. ALSO
IF YOU ARE RUNNING AWAY CARRY A KNIFE. ANOTHER

The first setting was Flint Michigan. A small
city that Bud lives in, but Bud lives in a home.
It is a crowded space gaining more children every
day. Another one of the settings was the mission.
A silent area were all you could here was the
clanking of spoons against bowls. Also the Amoss
house. A big area, and also fancy. Another place
was Hooverville. A junked up cardboard jungle
full of nice people. The highway was a dead land
that looked like a desert. It had many creatures
that were just off the pavement. Mr. Calloways
house was big with many doors.
