Jaqui, age 12 reviews Bud Not Buddy
Did the show get across the big ideas of the book? How is it different? Determine the point of view of the show. Is it the same as the book?
It did get across the main idea for me because I read the book but if I did not read it I still probably would have got it. It is different because the book is more detailed. I think the point of view was that Bud was looking for his daddy and found his grandfather. No it is not the same as the book but it had all of the important parts of the book.
Were the characters and their actions believable? Was it easy to figure out what each character was motivated by (why did they choose to do the things they did)?
The characters actions were believable because they knew what they were doing and I think they even read the book because they said the same stuff that the characters did in the book. They choose the things they choose to do because they thought it would be the right action for what they were saying or doing.
Did the set add to the play? What did you like about the set/what didn’t you like?
Yes, the set did add to the play because if there was no set they would just be talking and you would not be able to visualize or see how it happened. I liked the fact that it gave it a vibe for the background. I did not like the background I am not trying to be mean but it kind-of freaked me out.
Did you like the music? Did it fit with the play?
Yeah I liked the music it was perfect for the mood - when they were sad they played sad music; when they were happy they played happy music. I did fit the mood, like I said sad - sad happy - happy.
What emotions did the play evoke? How did you feel while you were watching the play? Why do you think you felt that way?
The play evoked the emotions the character was feeling like at the end of the play and book I just wanted to cry but I didn’t. I felt whatever the character was feeling because they are acting the role very well. I felt that way because some parts such as when Herman found out his daughter is dead I just wanted to cry because I made a connection.
Did you enjoy the play? Were you engaged?
I enjoyed the play and was very excited to see it. It was different from the book but it was the same as the book. I was engaged, I was at the edge of my seat just waiting for parts for the book to appear in the play.
