The Amos, Malone, and Sleet families each come from different social classes and treat Bud Caldwell differently when they meet him. The Amos family is financially secure but treats Bud with contempt. They are portrayed as strict and unsympathetic. Todd Amos bullies Bud by sticking a pencil up his nose and gets into a fight with him. Todd's parents also take Bud's suitcase and make him sleep in their shed. The Malone family occupies a lower social class than the Amoses and live in a Hooverville because they do not have a home. Despite their rough financial situation, the Malones are welcoming and hospitable. They allow Bud and Bugs to eat with them and provide the orphans a place to stay the night. After Lefty Lewis picks Bud up, he takes him to his daughter's home. Bud is introduced to the Sleet family, who are financially stable and welcome Bud with open arms. Mrs. Sleet gives Bud a fresh pair of clothes, a place to spend the night, and a home cooked meal. Her children also entertain Bud and are kind to him. Overall, the three families have different financial situations and treat Bud differently.
