Chapter 8
How has your opinion of Bub changed since the beginning of the book? What has he done so far that affected your thinking?
Example answer: At first, I thought Bub might just care about looking like a hero. Now I think he really does want to help the people and animals around him. Some of his choices are goofy, but his heart seems kind. That changed my opinion because I can see he is trying in his own pug way.
