A typical day at Camp Green Lake is, well, you would wake up at 4:30 and get breakfast then start to dig your hole. Your hole has to be 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep. Maybe a quarter way in to your hole one of the counselors would come in a pick up truck and fill up your canteen with water. Then you would keep digging. The second time the pickup truck comes the counselors would give you lunch. You try to get your hole done before noon because that's when the sun is directly over head. When you get your hole finished you go to your tent and put your rest clothes on. After that, you would go to the wreck room before dinner. After dinner you would go to bed. JACK$$
ReplyDeleteThe typical day at Camp Green Lake is not very typical. On Green Lake you have to get up at 4:30, and then you eat breakfast and go out on the lake. Stanley survives on the “lake” because between the water trucks Stanley savers his water. The typical day at Green Lake has no boundaries. Your day ends when it ends. Your day is over when your hole is the width and the depth of your shovel.

I think Stanley survives at Camp Green Lake because Zero helps dig Stanley's hole in exchange for Stanley teaching him how to read. Life at camp is hard. As Stanley said in the beginning of Chapter 13, he had lost track of the day, the week, and how many holes he had dug. It all seemed like one big hole that would take a year and a half to dig.
ReplyDeleteLife is so hot at Camp Green Lake that if a flower was to grow there it would die in 4 seconds. Life is tiring and it is even harder considering Stanley has to dig and teach Zero how to read. I think that is how Stanley survives at Camp Green Lake.

It is very hot in camp green lake with not very much water.Life is tiring and terrible for Stanley because he has to teach Zero how to read.He also has to dig,almost at the same time.The good thing is that Zero helps him dig because Stanley teaches him how to read.Stanley was so hot that he forgot how many holes he had dug. That is what I think.

Stanley survives in such harsh conditions with a a few reasons.A daily water truck will come and give him and the others water. Stanley also has a hat that covers his face from the sun.They also get a small break to go and eat lunch during the day.He survives in such harsh conditions because of those pacific reasons.

A typical day at Camp Green Lake is Stanley waking up at 4:30 in the morning just for breakfast. Then Stanley has to go outside and digs a gigantic hole in the brutal sun. Next he has to take a shower in freezing water for 4 minutes.Plus when he goes to bed his bed smells like sour milk.I think Stanley survives in the morning by going to bed early so he can have a chance to wake up early.How I think Stanley survives the digging holes is how the counselors come and fill up their cantinas with water.Stanley probobly survives the cold shower water by pacing back and forth in the water.Now I think Stanley survives his sour milk smelling bed by breathing through his mouth not his nose.
ReplyDeleteStanley has had a miserable life ever since he has been at Camp Green Lake. He has to wake up really early so he can start digging a huge hole. He gets into fights with other kids. The weather at Camp Green Lake is really hot and the food is awful tasting. The showers are really gross and have a lot of mosquitos. He has to sleep on only a cot with a sleeping bag. What a miserable life. Stanley survives at Camp Green Lake by thinking about other things. He thinks about what he's going to do with his life after he gets out of Camp Green Lake. -Tom
