Chapter 6

Bud wakes up and runs down to the mission Bud wakes up and runs down to the mission. He sees a ton of people in line so he feels relieved. When he walks to get in the back of the line, a man tells him that the line is closed. Oh, no! Bud sure is going to get hungry. Arguing with the man gets Bud nowhere. The man points out to Bud how many others are worse off than Bud is. But Bud tries again, anyway, and the man comes toward him with a leather strap, intending to hit him. Just then, Bud feels a giant hand wrap around his neck. A man calls him Clarence and asks where he's been. Huh? Bud is totally bewildered and nearly says his name isn't Clarence, but the man shakes him and tells him to get back in line with his mother. Oh, we get it. This is a nice man. He's trying to make sure that Bud can get a bite to eat by saying that Bud's mother is already in line.

A woman in line tells him to get back in line right now and hits the back of his head. So, Bud finally gets it and stands quietly in line with them. In line, Bud sees a sign hanging over the mission that shows a rich, white family in a car that says THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE AMERICA TODAY (6.32). Everyone in line talks about it. Inside the mission it's big and quiet. The people serving oatmeal are friendly. Bud's pretend mother gives him some of the brown sugar reserved for his pretend siblings, which they aren't too happy about.

Chapter 7

In the library, Bud notices the smells and imagines that the powdery smell of the paper puts people to sleep. He looks for Miss Hill. When he can't find her, Bud asks the librarian who says, "Miss Hill. My goodness, hadn't you heard?" (7.12) This phrase makes Bud think about number sixteen of his Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself: if an adult ever says "Haven't you heard" get ready for tragedy… Bud says that when you hear this phrase, it usually means someone is dead, like a really bad kind of death.

She tells Bud that Miss Hill got married and is living in Chicago She tells Bud that Miss Hill got married and is living in Chicago. The librarian takes out an atlas to show Bud where that is. She points to Flint, Michigan, and shows him how far Chicago is, and shows him how to calculate how long it would take to walk there. Bummed out, Bud goes to sit and think about what to do next. Coming up empty, he leaves and thinks about what his mother said about one door closing and another door opening up.
