- I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and attended the University of Missouri at Columbia for my undergrad. I have a Masters in Elementary Education from Regis. I come from a family with four kids. My sister is a teacher in Chicago. One of my brothers lives here and the other one lives in Chicago. I moved here because my husband loved Colorado and I loved him. As it turns out,I love Colorado as well.
This curse that Stanley Yelnats supposedly has affects him in certain things. Stanley is always at the wrong place and at the wrong time. He barely ever has any luck. And now, he has been sent to Camp Green Lake for something he didn't do. Stanley blames it all on his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.
ReplyDelete"Supposedly, he had a great-great-grandfather who had stolen a pig from a one-legged gypsy, and she put a curse on him and all his descendents. Stanley and his parents didn't believe in curses, of course, but when any thing went wrong, it felt good to be able to blame someone." page eight.

ReplyDeleteThe curse effected him by having him look like he stole sneakers by hitting him in the head with them.
"He had just walked out from under a freeway overpass when the shoe had hit him in the head."
The curse seemed to make the Yelnats always turn up in the wrong place a the wrong time."Things went wrong a lot.They always seemed to be at the wrong place at the wrong time." Glenn
ReplyDeleteStanley likes the curse. He likes it because it is something to blame for all of his terrible misfortunes. Since he is consistantly in the wrong place at the wrong time. He constantly picked on and overweight, living in a tiny apartment stinking of rubber and shoes. He likes to think that It's not his fault that he's stuck with all this, but someone elses'. He thinks the curse is amusing and though he doesn't believe in it, he wants to. He wants to think that one day it will all be overwith, The day his no good dirty rotten pig stealin' great great grandfather carries mrs Zeroni up the mountain. "It was a family joke. Whenever anything went wrong they would blam his no good dirty rotten pig stealin' great great grandfather."

I think Stanley hates the curse because he is always in wrong place and the time. Like when he was walking under the freeway and the shoes hit him on the head and at that time the police were sitting right by the curb. That is how stanley got to camp green lake. I do like how Stanley says "he can blame it on someone" page 8. ISAAC
