Why does Buddy blame himself for his mother's departure? What do think the reality of the situation is?

The characters are wonderfully flawed. Our initial view of Buddy is of him stealing money from his mother's purse. We realise shortly that his parents are not happily married. His mother leaves. His father.... well, that would be telling. What was impressive though, is that even though these characters were not doing things we would approve of, Hinton gets us to see both sides - we can understand their reasoning as to why they are doing what they do.

The book that I have read is buddy by Nigel Hinton. The story is about a teenage boy called Buddy Clark, who is very puzzled. Buddy's Song is a novel by British author Nigel Hinton which was first published in 1987. It is the second instalment in the Buddy trilogy, between Buddy and Buddy's Blues, and follows the story of Buddy as he started to pursue a musical career. The book was adapted into a film, directed by Claude Whatham and starring Roger Daltrey and Chesney Hawkes as Terry and Buddy respectively, in 1990. Begin with sequencing activity. Ask pupils to decide which crimes should or should not be punished. This is aimed to help them with some of the issues raised in BuddyBuddy has all the elements of a great YA story. The hero is confused due to his parents separating. He has problems at school due to his social class. He is conscious of his father's working class habits and in general has problems in connecting with him, and is developing a love for music. In this aspect the book works. Also Hinton does not pander to his audience so the ending is not wishy washy, just like the last book I read, Half Blood Blues. Hinton also uses records as a metaphor for life and Hinton does it in a poignant way. There are even hints of same sex relationships, a bi racial friendships; something I think was quite daring during Thatcher's Britain at the time (correct me if I am wrong) To reflect on the writer's presentation of ideas and issues, the motivation and behaviour of characters, the development of plot and the overall impact of a text.
