Question

The story ends with Bud practicing his saxophone while Herman Calloway cries in another

room. Why do you think the author chooses not to include a scene in which Bud and Calloway

talk to each other? Do you think the author's decision was a good one?

Answer 1

The author chooses not to include a scene in which and Bud and Calloway talk to each other because it is his writing style. He decides to make a plot twist and lets the two characters in separate situations.

Bud is not upset because Calloway is not his father. He even feels relieved because he finally finds his grandfather−his family. On the other hand, Calloway is crying because his daughter, Bud’s mother, has passed away. Calloway feels the pain of grieving and losing his daughter.

The author’s decision is good because he lets those two characters in their situations. One is excited to have found his family, whereas the other one is sad and in pain about losing his daughter.
