Stanley Yelnats changes throughout the book and becomes someone much stronger and resilient than he was at the start. When Stanley makes an arrangement with Zero to teach him how to read in exchange for Zero's help in digging his hole, the others aren't particularly happy about it. Just like how someone else's athlete's foot become the reason for another's sweet riches; how the despair of having been bullied be the same reason for his freedom; or how being the teacher, he actually got the better lesson, more than he has bargained for. If you have a hard drive that is making a weird noise or is failing, please include the Model Number, when you started using it and any other details such as "I dropped it" or "It is brand new".

We place them inside our own gaps, enriching us such that our hole becomes full, we come out as a whole person. The "campers" all label themselves differently and identify with names such as Armpit and X-Ray and the guards are referred to as counselors. Chris Massey is the Managing Director of Brilliant Ideas and our sister company Beresford’s Flooring. Mentions how his great-grandfather fell in love with a girl and how the girl’s father wanted her married at 15.This is first referenced at the beginning of the book when the purpose of the camp is stated: "If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy. Prisoners at Camp Green Lake are required to "build character" by digging one cylindrical hole five feet wide and five feet deep every day. Generally, temporary holes are formed in precast concrete floors, insitu concrete floors and metal deck floors.

It is a way to connect with other bloggers and share content and hopefully for me to be found by others and for my followers to discover new blogs!We follow the story of these boys who live in an open camp in the middle of a desert area in the southern United States, a kind of open-air reformatory. And be sure to check out my bio page to learn a little about me and the Picture Book/Chapter Book Calendars I sell on Etsy! Camp Green Lake is in the middle of the desert, a dried up lake, and every day a scary ward and guards, amongst who a 'Mr Sir', make the boys dig holes there.
