why do you think calloway doesn't like bud

Mr. C embodies the concept of tough love, especially when it comes to family. Upon meeting Bud, he wants nothing to do with him and is outwardly very cantankerous and cold. However, when it comes to light that he is not actually Bud’s father, but his grandfather, we see a much more emotional side of him. Upon learning that his daughter has died and Bud is his only surviving family, Mr. C breaks down, and shows about as much emotion as we ever see from him. He was tough on Bud’s mother to help her survive, and he’s tough on Bud for the same reasons, but in the end, he’s an old man with his heart in the right place.
