What would be two good questions to ask from chapter four of the book Bud, Not Buddy?

In chapter four, Bud has been sent to live with a foster family. During his short time there, the Amos' son is particularly cruel to Bud. The son creates disruptive situations and then blames Bud for them. The foster parents are equally cruel and always take their son's side when there is conflict. After freeing himself from the shed they locked him in, Bud decides to get some revenge before fleeing the Amos' home forever.


You might ask: What are three specific ways that the members of the Amos family are unfair and cruel to Bud during his short stay there?

Why does Bud decide not to use the gun in his revenge, and how does Bud instead attempt to seek revenge on the Amos' son before fleeing the family? Why does he choose this method of revenge?
