He chronicles his total confusion about the customs and rituals of his earthling “host family.” Inadvertently, we gain an intimate view of their life together: the individual relationships, the conflicts (often involving their cat) and eventually the cohesion. Through diary entries and official reports to his home planet, Bumpfizzle cleverly upholds his ruse. (If you are reading this book aloud, I recommend beginning in your best alien voice and then letting it fade as the narrator’s reliability comes into question.)
Meet Bumpfizzle the Best, the famous alien warrior from Planet Plonk, who was sent to Earth on a secret mission and assumed the form of a 10-year-old boy named Daniel. A new baby can entrap you in the role of middle child, but imagination can liberate you. Throughout the novel, Rhett represents the new South, but in the end he only looks nostalgically back to his youth in Charleston.BUMPFIZZLE THE BEST ON PLANET EARTH, a chapter book by the Irish author Patricia Forde, confirms that you don’t have to leave home in order to escape. At the end of the novel, he also refuses to work things out with Scarlett, defeated after years of trying to make her realize she loves him. Also, his love for his and Scarlett’s daughter Bonnie Blue is so strong that he is willing to charm the Old Guard and become a Democrat because he thinks it’ll help her future prospects, even though he ruthlessly made fun of them for years. Eight months before the war ends, he joins the Confederate army. Furthermore, he has moments of patriotism and sentimentality. However, he is devotedly respectful to Melanie Hamilton, and he loves children. Rhett likes to pretend that he doesn’t care very deeply about anything, spending his money lavishly and making light of the Cause and his feelings for Scarlett.
He is accused of being a Scallawag and of being friends with Governor Bullock. After the Confederacy falls, Rhett becomes rich with Confederate gold. He takes an interest in Scarlett because they are both “rascals,” by which he means they’re unsophisticated, practical, and opportunistic. Although this makes him exciting, he is still despised for being only a “speculator,” and for constantly insisting the South is conceited and blind to support the Cause. When the war begins, Rhett resides in Atlanta and becomes a rich blockader who runs supplies and luxuries in from England for the South and the Confederate army. He also horrifies Southerners because he thinks the South is only “cotton and arrogance,” and that they have no chance against the North in the war. Before the war, he has a bad reputation because he is rumored to have stayed out all night with a girl and then refused to marry her. He is swarthy and handsome, with a powerful figure, pirate-like features, and a mocking smile. Rhett Butler is the mysterious stranger who captures Scarlett’s attention at the Wilkes’ barbecue he later becomes her third husband.
