__ **Week 1 ** __

Do you think Stanley Should have been put in the camp? I don't think that Stanley should have been put in camp because the shoes just fell into his hands but I guess the police did not see that. Forest ==== I personally don't think that Stanley deserved to go to the camp and be arrested. How was he suppose to stop shoes from falling on his head? Although from the police's point of view it definatley doesn't sound very likely, but still Stanley was falsey accused and shouldn't go. Brandon ==== ==== Yes and no yes because he took the shoes and ran and no because he did not really take them ==== ==== I don't think so,because he never stole the shoes they hit him and he took them .There is no reason he was supposed to go to the camp.BONIFACE  ==== How would you feel if you were Stanley at the camp? If I was stanley at camp I would be dying. I don't like digging 5 ft holes in the hot sun, also I would like better food. Forest ==== If I were Stanley, I would feel very angry in his situation. He didn't do anything wrong to get there. Also it would be agony to dig a 5 foot hole every day when I wake up. Also, I agree with Forest, the food seems to be very bad. Brandon ====

Can you see a possible solution for Stanley to get out of the camp? = I can not see that happening because the people there are so strict. also he is there and they are not going to take him back home. Forest = ==== I don't see a possible way for him getting out. If Mr. Sir was right and there was no water for 100 miles but for the camp, there is no way to run away and survive. Also I agree with Forest, that they would not take him home or even think about that because they are so strict. Brandon ==== ==== I think if he thinks out side the box and takes the truck he could get away. Ole ==== I think he can run away by prending he going somewhere and away from the camp.Boniface What do you think would happen if Stanley tried to escape? = I think that he would do just fine because he has the self motivation, and courage to do that. Forest = ==== If Stanley tried to escape, in my opinion he wouldn't make it. He can barely dig a hole everyday. I agree with Forest that he has self motivation but even if he has that, how will he find water to drink if he does? Brandon ====

I think he would get so far and go back. Ole
==== He will be punished and he might have to stay in the camp more than he is supposed to.Boniface  ==== Do you think Stanley will make it through the camp? = Yes I think he will make it through camp because what we have read is his first day,and he will make freinds some time, also he will get used to it. Forest = ==== I think he will because once he gets the hang of digging them it will get easier. When he makes friends he has someone to talk to, so it's not like he is totally alone. The next hole will be easier and on and on. I think he has the motivation to finish the camp. Brandon ==== ==== Ya I think he will by not geting in trouble and makeing friends.Ole ==== ==== Yeah he get used to it and make some friends as time goes by.if only the other boys get nice.Boniface  ==== Why do you think they have to dig holes every day? Andrew I think they have to dig holes every day because they are looking for somthing I think that because they said if you find any thing tell us immediatly and don't tell anyone else. Forest ==== I agree with Forest 100%. Why else would anybody dig holes? I don't think that it builds character like it says. Also to bring it to the warden for a day off seems a bit weary. They are definatley digging for something in my opinion. Brandon ==== ==== Forest I am with you on this one. They have to be looking for something. Ole ==== ==== To build their characters so tha they will be good people.Boniface  ====

= Week 2:  = = What is the Warden trying to find? = = I think the warden is trying to find somthing that was lost in the lake when it was there or somthing that sunk. Forest I think that he was trying to look for something that he lost, that was really worth lot of income/money.Boniface = = I think that the warden is looking for something that she might have lost there that had sentimental value or just was worth lots of cash. Brandon = = I think that the warden is looking for something that she thinks is in the lake that is worth alot of money.Andrew  = = How come the wreck room is wrecked? = I think that there was something happened like a fight where things were used like a weapon and everything breaked.Boniface

= I think the wreck room is wrecked is because there was a fight that was there. Forest = = I think it's wrecked because nobody would bother cleaning and they probably don't even care because it has been like that for years maybe. Brandon = = I think that it is wrecked because of the people that were in there didnt care about the stuff so they wrecked it.Andrew  = What is the golden rod thing made from? It is made out of Gold.Boniface I think it is made from gold. Forest I also think that it is made from gold because why else would they search near it? I think that they are just looking for cash or valuable items. Brandon = = = Why didn't X-Ray remember the rod at breakfast? =

= I think that he knew that the warden was watching them and he did not wont to be caught. Forest =

= I agree with Forest. If the warden saw he would get in trouble, because they are suppose to bring it to the warden immediately. They also talked about cameras that are hidden. Brandon = Yeah i think so too because he that they going to get in trouble.Boniface I also agree I think if the warden saw him he would get in trouble. How has Zero never seen Sesame Street?

I think he dosnt watch tv much and goes outside alot. I think he did not have a tv. Forest I think that he hasn't because he seems more like an out doors person seeing that he can dig fastest. He probably didn't watch much TV. Brandon = probably by that time he did not watch TV,he had no idea.Boniface  = = = = How has Zero never heard of The old lady that lived in a shoe? Daniel(orange) = = I think he never lisend. Forest = Not that famous and spread out thing.Boniface I think that it wasn't that popular maybe. Brandon I think that his parents never read the book to him. Week3 What do you think would of happuned if stanley caught the bag of seeds? He would have gotten in a big trouble.And Mr sir would have not be smacked on the face by accusing Stanley.Boniface = Mr. Sir wouldn't have been hit. Also, Stanley would have never known where he saw that gold rod. Daniel Wallner = = I think that dan is right i think that the warden would not hit Mr.Sir. allso i think he would hide it and they would eat some more. Forest = Stanley wouldn't be in trouble, and Mr. Sir wouldn't be so angry. They would eat all of them but Mr. Sir probably would of figured it out anyways. Brandon I think Mr.Sir wouldnt have got hit and Stanley would h Why do you think zero dug stanley's hole? = Because it was a way to have Stanley repay Zero by teaching him how to  = = read and write. Daniel Wallner = because they had been friends and he wanted him to rest so that he can teach him.Boniface =  I think he did that because he wanted to be taught by Stanley. Forest  =

I think he wanted to learn to read/write so he dug his hole. It was his plan, but not an evil one. I think that if he didn't learn it would be a hard life. Brandon Do you think zero went to school? I don't think so because he could have known some stuff like A B C D....in kindergarten.Boniface = So his parents wouldn't know he can't read or write. Daniel Wallner = I don't think so. If he did he would know how to do things. (Make it not 1 word answer) Brandon =  I dont think he did because his parents did not care. Forest  =

Would you say you took the seeds yes or no? = Yeah because everyone wouldn't hate me. Daniel Wallner = I think i will be honest //with// myself i will say yes or no when it is true.Nelsen = I would because then everyone would like me better. Forest = Yes because if i didn't I would lose my friends there. If he didn't have those friends it wouldn't be possible to survive camp in my opinion. Brandon Would you teach zero if he helps you dig? = Yes because he could get a good job when he grows up. Daniel Wallner = I would because it is the nice thing to do. Forest Yes because digging takes more work than teaching. How could he have a successful life without those skills? Yeah i mean you can repay back if someone does something good to you.Boniface

Do you think x-ray, magnet, and armpit are happy zero dug for stanley? No, and I wouldn't be either. It isn't fair. Brandon - Also most of your questions are 1 answer questions. Just thought that I would let you know and you can change it. = No. Daniel Wallner  = = NO.Forest = // No,because did not want him to not dig.Boniface // __// Week 4 //__ // Do you think that it was a good idea for stanley's hole to be dug by zro while he was resting? // = No I dont think it is a good idea because they got in trouble. Forest = = I don't think that it was a good idea because all of the other people felt that it was unfair that Stanley didn't have to do as much work as everybody else. Brandon = = No I think that the other kids felt that Stanley was being unfair because every one else go stuck digging there hole. = = no. ole = =// At this point how would you observed the relationship between Stanley and Zero? //= = I think it is good Stanly was wored when he ran off. Forest = = I think that they are good friends because if they weren't, Stanley wouldn't of stolen the truck or went after Zero to help him out. Brandon = = I think that they are freinds because if they weren't freinds Stanley wouldn't have wored as much if zero ran off. = = I think it is good. ole = =// The lizard landed o kate's bare ankle,how do you think she felt or what were her feelings? //= = I think that she was happy but a little scared, like anybody would be. She would be happy though because she wouln't have to reveal where to dig and wouldn't have to be hurt or tortured. Brandon = = I think that she was feeling scared. Forest = = I think that she was scared a little. = = happy because it would kill her vary fast. ole = =// why was stanley tying to rember how many days there were in may and june? //= = I think that he was not at school for a bit and that he forgot what month it was. Forest = = To see how many total holes he had dug, which had been 44 because he didn't dig his first day and hadn't dug that day. Also he wanted to know if it was really July 8th because somebody claimed that it was their birthday. Brandon = = I think to see not sure what the date was because he has been digging holes. = = waybe his barthday is in june. ole = =// Do you think that that zigzag felt or thought that he deserved and was special in his birthday yes/no //= =// explain // I think that he did think that he was special so yes. Forest = = I think that it wasn't actually was his birthday but he just wanted to kind of make fun of Stanley, pretending that people should dig his hole for him. If it was his birthday, I think he felt really special ordering people around and everything. Brandon = = I think that he was trying to make people do stuff for him. = =no noone had to do any thing for him. ole= =// Do you think that Zero will ever come back to the Camp? //= = I do think that he will come back because Stanley will make him.Forest = = I don't think that Zero will ever go back because he would be in so much trouble, because of the truck and running away. Also because him and Stanley probably don't have the energy to even make it back to the camp. Brandon = = I dont think that he will ever come back if he does he will be in big trouble. = =no because he is scared. ole=
