I wonder what Stanley's great-great grandfather did create this cruse upon him and his family. I think this because I get that he would get cursed, but not his fellow family members.
I wonder if Stanley will really have to dig a hole because in the beggining of the book Mr.Sir said "You'll have to dig a hole once every day for eighteen months which is how long you'll be here at Camp Green Lake." The reason of why I wonder this is because it's already been one day and Stanley hasn't dug a hole and Mr.Sir said "You'll be digging holes once every day for eighteen days." I also think that Camp Green Lake not nice or kind because they won't even give the campers anything to drink or eat. I think this because everyone needs food and water to survive and if you don't get enough food and water, you won't be able to survive, I mean just because they don't behave or act nice and kindly doesn't mean there not humans and because they are humans, you have to treat them as such.
I liked the first six chapters of the book, Stanley is an interesting character,I feel bad for how he was made fun of in school and how he was arrested for a crime he did not commit. Looking forward to reading more.
Riley D, Samantha and Kylie. I thought the same thing when I was reading the Holes book Ch.1-6. I feel like Stanley is a complicated character, that means he faces lots of trouble. I also think that the bully at school named Derrick Dunne actually stole the sneakers and dropped them on purpose on Stanley so he would get in trouble by the cops/police, and then called the police to blame it on him, when he didn't even do it. I think this because Derrick is a bully, and bullies treat people unfair, so he might have done that to Stanley so he would go to Jail or Camp Green Lake.
I feel sad that Stanley is being punished when he really didn't do anything. I don't think he should have to go to Green Lake. The other kids there aren't very nice to him.
I am so excited to be reading this book together with everyone. Alejandra, "complicated" is the perfect way to describe Stanley. He is always getting into trouble even though he is a good kid. Unfortunately, he is always at the wrong place at the wrong time and is the victim of a lot of unfortunate circumstances. I can't wait to read all your responses.
I believe that what Stanley was saying is true and that he is innocent, but I don't understand how the shoes could of just fell on top of him and hit him on the head. Probably if he had lied a little bit about what had happened he would not of had to go to Camp Green Lake, and would still be at home with his family
Ryan, I love your thought process. Even though he was telling the truth, it seems impossible from the story he told. What do you think he could have said?
I think Stanley should have not gone to jail because he just found the shoes and he did not know who they belonged to. He was not a bad boy so he doesn’t deserve to go to Camp Green Lake. I think before the shoes hit him in the head he had a very good life and it all just vanished. His mother, father, his home, and everyone he knew was no longer with him. I feel bad for Stanley. I like this book so far because it is very interesting and is a little odd.
I very much agree with you Ryan! I feel like Stanley was "in the wrong place at the wrong time". I am wondering how the shoes fell from the sky? That did seem a bit odd. This is certainly a book that you have to read closely or you might miss out on some important clues.
Yes Alejandra and Riley D, I also feel bad for Stanley. It doesn't seem like his life at home is very easy, although it does sound loving. I am wondering why the teachers did not stop the bullying rather than thinking it was funny that a smaller boy could bully a bigger boy? I am anxious to read on to learn more.

DeleteSo far really like this book!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the book are you enjoying Emma?
DeleteI like learning about the characters and each story about the holes. I also like the story of the great great grandfather who stole pigs.
DeleteExcellent! I do like the different stories as well.
DeleteI do too! I love how this author includes stories INSIDE the story. They give you a lot of insight into the characters.

ReplyDeleteI really want to know what happens next to Stanley after he stole the shoes from the baseball player!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Stanley because he still went to camp green lake even though he was telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteI certainly feel bad for Stanley. It does seem like he is telling the truth, though it does make me wonder how a pair of sneakers "fall from the sky".
DeleteI feel bad for Stanley that he had to go to Camp Green Lake even though he didn't do anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree Srihan. He seems to be telling the truth, but how did the shoes just "hit him in the head"? There has to be more to the story.
