***NOTE: There is a QUIZ on Chapters 1-8, tomorrow, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23rd-STUDY!!***
The reader may ask the question why didn't Stanely accept the ride back to camp offer by mr.Pendanski? While other may not understand I believe I do in a way. In chapter seven page forty the aurthor said "he used his legs to help but he just didn't have any strength. He was traped in his hole." He had to make steps to get out. A ride would not have helped him he needed to walk to regain strength.
ReplyDeleteThis surprised me page forty states that "he knew it was nothing to be proud of,but he was proud nonetheless." Maybe because it was his first day and his first hole made him proud. I guess Stanely was happy his hard work paid off. When he first started he could not get the shovel in to the ground. The shovel washard to work with at first "he tried to jam it into the earth,but the blade banged against the ground and bounced off without making a dent."
This means that your dead ether way. The first chapter on page 4 says that "you don't want to be bitten by a yellow spotted lizard, That's the worst thing that can happen to you, you will die a slow and painful death always." This must mean that the lizard poison slowly attacks your insides as it gets to your heart your body breaks down so bad that it can not support you. On page fortyone chapter eight that "If you ever been close enough to see the yellow spots, you are probably dead." I have no Idea what this means maybe it means just before you die the only thing you see is the spots.
The lizard are the main conflict. If you always die from it's bite then that makes it a major conflict. Another reason is to inform.The reader may want to learn a little bit more about these walking guns with spots.
The author is informing the reader about them. He must have seen and heard alot about them. So to save the reader they relize what not to do to attract one. Now that reader knows they are safe. That's why we are told about they eat

4:Because maybe one of the character is going to get bidet by ayellow-spotted lizardsbut.
5:Because thats the only thinks their is in camp green lake.
1) I think Stanley doesn`t accept Mr. Pendanski's offer to give him a ride back to the compound was because he wanted to walk and think about what is gonna happen next.
ReplyDelete2) The reason why Stanley feel so proud of his hole is because that is Stanley first hole he have dig since he got into the juvenile.
3) "A lot of people don't believe in yellow-spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a difference whether you believe in it or not" This sentence mean to me that if you believe in a yellow-spotted lizards the some thing is gonna happen to you and the person that believe in them.
4) The reason why I think that lizards are mentioned so many times is because how dangerous there poison is because no one or nothing can help you.
5) Is because that is the only thing that lizards eat.
1. I believe stanley did not accept Mr.Pendanski's offer to give him a ride back to the compound because he wants to be treated like the others and he does not want the other kids to think that since he is new Mr.Pendanski is giving him special treatment.
ReplyDelete2. Stanley feels proud of his hole because it's the first hole he dug at camp green lake and he did it all by himself with no one's help.
3. It means that if you believe in a yellow spotted lizard, that it does not matter because if you happen to get bitten by one your gonna die anyways.
4. I think the lizard are mention in the book so many times because it is maybe a very important role in this book .
5. We are told that the yellow spotted lizards eat seeds because the narrator is informing you what kind of food they eat often other than killing humans.
Stanley doesnt take the ride becouse its kinda like he wants to show that he is the same as the other kids that just becouse he is fat it dosent mean he might always need help to do something
ReplyDeletewhy wouldint stanley feel proud of his first hole its was proberbley the only thing he acually worked for in his life thats proberbly why he was so proud
The sentence means that if you get bit by a yellow sopted lizared your gunna die so there isint any point in belive in them or not just the fact that wen you get bittin its a wrap
Lizards are mentioned so much in the story becouse if a camper dies then camp green lake will be close and then the warden wont ever find whats she really is looking for
1. I think didn't accept Mr.Pendanski's ride is because he wanted to be treated like the other campers and not have special treatment.
ReplyDelete2. Stanley feels so proud of his hole is because it was his first hole that he dug and he felt happy that he was able to do it.
3. I think this sentence means that either way, if you do believe or you don't, it really would matter if you got bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard. it states, "If you got bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard, you might as well go into the shade of the oak trees and lie in the hammock. There is nothing anyone can do to you anymore."
4. I think the lizard is mentioned so many times is because they are dangerous and they can kill you with only one bite.
5. We're told that the yellow spotted lizards eat seeds because they are just letting the reader know on what the lizard's eat.
1. Creo que no aceptó paseo Mr.Pendanski 's es porque quería ser tratado como los otros campistas y no tienen un tratamiento especial.
ReplyDelete2. Stanley se siente orgulloso de su agujero, porque es el primer agujero que cavó en el campamento de Lago Verde y lo hizo todo por sí mismo con la ayuda de nadie.
3. "Mucha gente no cree en manchas amarillas lagartos bien, pero si uno lo muerde, no hace ninguna diferencia si usted cree en él o no", esta frase significa para mí que si usted cree en un color amarillo-lagartos moteados lo cierto es que va a pasar a usted y la persona que cree en ellos.
4. Creo que el lagarto se ha mencionado tantas veces es porque son peligrosos y pueden matarte con un solo bocado.
5. Porque esa es la piensa sólo en el Campamento Lago Verde
What is the meaning
Delete1. in my opinion I think that he didnt want a ride because he wanted to follow the ritual that the rest of the campers do right after digging their hole. i also think that he didnt want special treatment and he wants to feel what the rest of the campers feel.
ReplyDelete2. i think he feels proud of his hole because it was his first one. he also did it exactly the way he was supposed to.
3. i think that this sentence means that even though u dnt believe in it it still exists. and after being bitten by it u will believe in it.
4. i think the lizards are mentioned alot because they are deadly and i think that later on something bad will happen.

1. I think stanley did not want to accept Mr.Pendanski's offer to to take him to the compound because stanley would like to be treated like the others. He does not want the boys to think that.
ReplyDelete2.in my opinion i believe that the reason why stanley was proud of his first hole was because he never in his life did something like that.
3. I think this sentence means that everyone dont believe in that so they'll wait and when it does bite them it really wouldnt matter if its true or not
4.I think the lizard is mentioned so many times because they probly bit so many humans and killed half or all of them.So thats why i think the lizards are always mentioned just to scare and make them not mess with the lizards or go near it.
5. they eat sunflower seeds because thats the only thing they eat there since its always onna ground. thats the only thing they eat.
