Valika: summary of chapters 3-5:Stanley Yelnats is an innocent boy whom people thought was guilty for the crime.It all happened because of his no good pig stealing great-great-grandfather.Now, he is in a hot, uncomfortable bus ready to face the camp of doom. He is greeted by Mr.Sir who tells him the expectations everyday.The campers need to dig one 5 foot deep and all around hole. Stanley was then introduced to the other campers named Rex, Alan, Jose, Theodore, Zero, and Ricky although they preferred being called X-Ray, Squid, Magnet, Armpit, Zero, and Zigzag. Stanley needs to use a cot that once belonged to a person named Barfbag. Stanley wasn't enthused at first but then he took it as a term of respect. I personally, wouldn't want to use a cot that was once used by someone named Barfbag. Signing out at 3:45 at Tuesday, April 12, 2011.

That's it! This book is too good to put down! I'm literally kicking myself for leaving my book at Mrs. Christofferson's room! Ugh! Uh, anyway__........__ __Text-to-Self__

Camp Green Lake reminds me of my summer camp, Camp Honey Creek for Girls. Camp Honey Creek is in Texas too, but its in Hunt by Kerville. We don't have a lake, or a dried up lake, but we have a river that we swim in. It is //blazing hot// in Camp Green Lake and Camp Honey Creek! We do laundry every two weeks, but we don't have to wear the same outfit every day. There are lots of animals at Camp Honey Creek and Camp Green Lake, Camp Honey Creek has lizards, snakes, toads, frogs, horses, eagles, cats, dogs, and three wild turkeys. Camp Green Lake has lizards, snakes, and poisinous lizards. So thats Lilly Swank, signing out at 4:22 PM! Peace out my home dawgs!

Mohan - chap. 3-5 - characters 4/12/11

hgghh ﻿I swear I'm addicted to this book. I also can't believe Claire lived next to Luis Sachar. This is Mohan doing chap. 3-5 and I'll be doing characters today. The main character is Stanley Yelnats, a boy who sent to Camp Green Lake, a place where boys go if they do something bad. At the camp the main dude is Mr. Sir. A guy who I imangine to have a uni-brow. Stanleys counselor is Mr. Pendanski, who seems very nice. The other boys at the camp call themselves nicknames such as Armpit, X-Ray, Squid, ZigZag, Magnet and Zero. All of these boys seem nice except for Armpit. This is Mohan signing out at 5:17 PM

**Natasha - Characters in Holes** The characters in chapters 3-5 are Stanley Yelnats, Mr. Sir, Mr. Pendanski, Alan aka Squid, Rex aka X-Ray, Jose, Theodore, and Ricky. Their nicknames were Magnet, Armpit, and Zigzag. Another boy's name was Zero. Armpit calls Mr. Pendanski Mom. Mr. Pendanski doesn't care. Stanley had to sleep on somebody called Barfbag's old cot. He wasn't thrilled about sleeping on a cot that somebody named Barfbag had used. **﻿** Natasha's poem about Holes: People thought Stanley stole some shoes. It got all over the news.

**﻿** **﻿** They sent him to Camp Green Lake. I want to let you know that I'm a snake and I would like you to call me Sarah. **﻿Natasha- Summary for ch. 22-24** **In ch. 22-24, Stanley was the first one digging because Zero secretly helped Stanley dig his hole when Stanley went to visit the Warden. So he agreed to help Zero learn to read. They made a deal. Stanley would teach and Zero would dig. He finds out that the K and B means Kate Barlow. The next day, when Stanley saw Mr. Sir, he was completely awake. Mr. Sir's face was as big as a cantalope. Mr. Sir was mad at Stanley, so he didn't put water in his canteen. I would die there with no water!** Natasha- poem

Hi. It's Sarah Snake. I'm going to tell you something that happened in Camp Green Lake. It's about a school teacher that loved an onion picker. The picker's name was Sam. He had a boat by a dam. The teacher turned into a robber because of a store shopper and because of Trout Walker who killed Sam.

Natasha-Summary for ch. 34-36 Stanley is looking for Zero. He tried to bring the water truck, but he drove it into a hole. So he has no water now. The sun is high in the sky. He finds a boat with Mary Lou on it. Under the boat, he finds Zero.Zero doesn't look too well. He offers Stanley some sploosh. He is afraid to try, but tries it anyway.It tasted like peaches. Then they start walking. When they get to Big Thumb, they start climbing. Zero gets his hands cut when he held the blade of the shovel for Stanley. Ouch!

Natasha-poem It's Sarah Snake! I just left Camp Green Lake! Stanley and Zero ran away from camp. I followed them so I'm a champ. Then Zero threw up. Oh yuck!

Hi! I'm Cacey the cricket! I've been checking Camp Green Lake ever since the new boy, Stanley Yelnats, came here. So far, I've seen quite some "moon" like craters on the earth. The other day, I watched as Stanley bravely struck his shovel into the ground, endlessly. Seeing all that blood! It was as disastrous as a bird! Also, I've seen that Stanley's new friends have been directing and helping their new pal. Here's a Poem about Camp Green Lake:

Nothing but holes,

Even some moles,

You can't even bake,

Not even a cake,

Find some coals,

Pay no tolls,

Where is this brake?

Camp Green Lake!

Isabel:setting of chapters 6-8: In chapters 6-8 the setting in the hot, dry sun at Camp Green Lake. In chapter 6 Stanley has just started digging his very first hole. But, it's much harder than he thought. Chapter 7 is mostly about how Elya Yelnats (Stanley's great great-grandfather) met Stanley's great great-grandmother. After that, it takes him a while, but Stanley is finally able to finish his hole. To finish it off, chapter 8 tells us all about the appearance and how yellow spotted lizards live.

Chapters 9-12 Thursday 4-14-11,SUMMARYStanley dug his second hole and he hates it. He blisters and bruises and he is soar from digging. He goes, grabs his stationary and heads toward the rec room or " Wreck" room. There, he trip overs someone's leg and get's in a fight with a lump. He is then called Caveman who he at first thinks is the lump. The whole group of D talks about their future jobs.Cool Graphic Ms.C

This is Mohan's poem I am a yellow spotted lizard! I l﻿ive at Camp Green Lake. I am a true wizard. I have eans for you to eat, and you will turn green! This is the process at which you get to be a better person Everyone thinks I'm poisonous. But I'm not! I hope you understand for when you have to come to Camp Green Lake!

__ Michelle Ch.9-12 __

Topic: setting

All the settings introduced so far from Ch.1-Ch.12 are: Camp Green Lake(Inculding the wreck room, tents, and Warden's cabin, and Stanley's house), the courthouse, the desert, and Stanley's school. Camp Green Lake was described as dry, **HOT**, and filled with bugs, lizards, and other weird stuff. I see why. IT'S IN TEXAS! (No offense Texas...) All the tents for the boys are basically the same. There's one tent that may be different though, tent F. Tent F is for the counselors, so I suppose they get a better tent. I feel a bit sorry for Stanley, for sleeping somewhere that used to have someone named "Barf Bag" inside. His own probably is better, even though his family is poor. Anyway, the book didn't really say __MUCH__ about the courthouse. It only said something about the judge asking Stanley if he wanted to go to jail, or Camp Green Lake. The book has barely said anything about the Warden's cabin either, but maybe it will talk about that later in the book. Well, those are all the places I can think about now. Later! Bye!

Claire, Poem on Self, AABB

I am a reptile, a poisonious snake I give no mercy, I give no sake I lived in the hole that Stanley first dug He was so slow, he moved like a slug I followed him to his next hole Watching him, like a fly to a sugar bowl Can you guess what animal I am? Ronnie the rattlesnake, the one that likes ham Before I go off, to take a poisonious bite I'll be thinking of Stanley, that big and fat sight Please, pretty please remember me That poisonious snake, Ronnie Topic: setting

__ Valika's Poem Type﻿: AABB __ I am a slithering rattle snake, Here at Camp Green Lake, The ground feels dusty , The sand looks rusty, Outside is burning hot, You feel like your in a boiling pot, A boy named Stanley looks big and buff, He's really nice and isn't rough, A place for bad boys, Who are treated like toys, They have no manners, When they get out they celebrate with banners.

Isabel's Poem: AABB

My name is Jc. I live in the Camp Green Lake.

There's Yellow spotted lizards and a pesky rattle snake.

I've seen this boy Stanley and he's not very thin.

I even think his first hole caved in.

There's lots to say but I don't have time.

I have to go get some food that's not mine.

The End

Stanley was as weak as a rat ﻿ Stanley had to dig a hole Zero, Zero, an unusual child So weak he got blood on his hat The sun worked him down to his soul Zero is the excact opposite of wild If he makes a mistake What if a lizard came up? Zero can dig a hole with great grace He could get bit by a snake Then Stanley would surely be stuck Even though it is not a race And who would want that? Why can't he have good luck?

A hole, deep and round. Dirt mound I am a long shovel A hole can make an echoing sound. S omething soft and sound. I am used to pick up rubble Going down round and round. Lifted from the Earth I am very manly But where's the dirt mound? As strong as a horses girth. But I am used by Stanley

=An Introduction to Larry=

I, am a yellow-spotted lizard My name is Larry I will bite anything that goes down my gizzard Never Gary My skin is not sleek I want to marry Mary When people see me they say eek But its a little scary I am a venomous wizard

Claire, chapters 16-18, connections

In the book, when Stanley got hit with a shovel and got hurt but had to keep digging, it reminded me of one day in P.E. We were playing march madness ( a basketball game in the march) and I fell and got hurt pretty badly. Even though it hurt, I got right back in the game. It seems like Stanley was in the same situation.

P.S except he was forced to keep digging, and I just chose to.

Hey Claire! This is Lilly, and I remember that day! So holla! Claires got a witness!

Lilly, Chapters 16-18, April 18,2011 Summary

During chapters sixteen through eighteen, the warden constantly watches of Caveman and the rest of group D. Her patience grows thin by the days as the boys start digging in a large hole bigger than three regular ones. Caveman is hit with Zigzag's shovel, and is knocked to the ground. Caveman goes to Mr. Sir and is given a redneck band-aid made by a sack of sunflower seeds. Caveman realizes that Zero can't read.

Hey my friends,this is Mohan doing chapters 19-21 and I'll be doing connections for you today. My connections is when I covered up for something my friend did in 3rd Grade. I t was a horrible feeling: it makes you twitch and squirm. I think Stanley felt the same way. When the teacher it out she got really angry. I couldn't stand it and finally told her [Lilly might remember this]. Anyway I was freaking out. I hope you enjoyed my connection.

Dylan SUMMARY Hi,this is Dylan, doin' chapters 19-21. Stanley is diggin' part of the super hole and one of the kids accidentally hits Stanley Yelnats in the head and he get's bandaged with a part of Mr.Sir's sunflower seed bag. The next day they just dig their own holes. Magnet steals Mr.Sir's sunflower seed bag and shares it. Stanley covers up for the other kids when he accidentally spills the bag. The Warden uses her poisonous nail polish on Stanley and especially on Mr.Sir. Zero digs the rest of Stanley's hole and Stanley teaches him how to read and write.

TURTLEZ.

//__ Michelle's Ch.22-24 __//

__ I have a prediction... __ **Since Mr.Sir basically annoyed the Warden, shouldn't he always be treated in a not very good way? The Warden does seem to have an unforgiving nature. She reminds me of the word, //sassy//. Also, when Zero and Stanley made their deal(Stanley teaches Zero 1 hour of writing/Zero digs an hour of Stanley's hole), if Mr.Sir finds out, wouldn't the two be in DEEP trouble? Remember: Mr.Sir is already mad at Stanley for you know...the slash...Well, hope you agree with my predictions! Next time!**

Isabel's ch. 22-24

summery: In chapter 22 Stanley is the first one finished with his hole so he got on his cleaner set of clothes and went to talk to his friends. They said that he probably just likes to dig holes. When Zero came into the tent stanley said thanks and asked him why he dug his hole for him. Zero said that he didn't steal the sunflower seeds or the sneakers. After that Stanley starts to teach him how to read and write. Later, Stanley was thinking about the wardens house when he realized the gold tube was the top of a lipstick container. In chapter 23 the book talks about Camp Green Lake 110 years ago when it had a lake and a town. Miss. Katherine Barlow is the only teacher in the whole town but people only come to see her, for example Trout Walker who she refuses to kiss. In chapter 24 someone asks Mr. Sir what happened to his face so he starts to strangle the kid. Everyone asks Stanley what happened to Mr. Sir's face but he just ignored everybody and hoped they would go away. When the water truck came around the second time Mr. Sir was driving and he just poured all of Stanley's water on the hard ground which soaked it up in an instant.

Valika’s character perspective entrée Well hello there, you remember me, I’m the slithering snake me from Valika’s poem last time. I am peeking at the warden who is rewarding X-Ray because he “found” the lipstick container that caught the warden’s interest. That boy, Barf Bag purposely stepped on me. Anyway, I feel like biting X-Ray because he obviously did not find that lip stick container. I am sliding into the camper’s cabin. My little eyes are glued on Stanley who is in the room teaching Zero how to read and write. Valika: chapters 22-24 summary Stanley took the blame for stealing Mr. Sir’s bag of sunflower seeds. Now, he is going to face the warden. The warden got annoyed at Mr. Sir for wasting her time. She scratched Mr. Sir with her poisonous nail polish. When Stanley returns all the campers thank Stanley. Stanley realizes that someone dug his hole for him, that person turned out to be Zero.

Hey it's Frank the Fly [peter] and I'm gonna tell you about what I saw today(Chapters 22-24 Summery). I had a vison. 110 years ago Camp Green Lake didn't exist. There was the largest lake in Texas, Green Lake. There stood the town of Green Lake. Every year, Katherine Barlow won a prize for her spiced peaches. Katherine Barlow was the only schoolteacher in Green Lake. One day, a man named Trout Walker asked if him and Katherine could take a boat rde on a new boat. She says "No." Trout says, "No one says no to Trout Walker" Then Katherine replies "I believe I just did."Back to real time. Caveman got water the first from Mr. Pendanski. Then he got it from Mr.Sir. Caveman didn't get any water from Mr. Sir. After that, I had another vision. It was of Green Lake again.

There was a doctor named Dr. Hawthorn. When people got sick, they would go see Dr. Hawthorn, but they would also see Sam, the onion man. Sam had a donkey named Mary Lou and he would tell people to eat raw onions and be like Mary Lou, who has never gotten sick a day in her life. Mary Lou was almost 50 years old. That's extremely old for a donkey! When Katherine Barlow bought onions she would always buy a few more to feed Mary Lou. Sam asked Katherine “Is something wrong?” She replied, “Oh, just the weather. It looks like rain clouds are moving in. Water leaks through the roof of the schoolhouse.” Sam replied, “I can fix that. I’m good with my hands.” And he fixes it. Katherine asked Sam to do a lot of things. And then she said, “Oh Sam, my heart is broken.” Sam replied, “I can fix that.” And then they kissed. (euuuuu!) Then Hattie Parker stepped out of the store and said, “God will punish you,” because Sam is Negro.

Hello again! Remember me? Casey the Cricket? Last time we met, I said was watching Stanley adapt to his new "Home"(For the next 8 months). Now, I've seen quite some improvement. He's even teaching reading and writing to Zero! Zero at first seems brainless and lifeless, but Stanley says he's a fast learner, and is always curious about what Stanley is doing. They'll probably be __VERY__ nice friends in the future. Maybe even when they get out of Camp Green Lake! Here's another poem by me(I know! I'm so talented for a Cricket!) :

Snakes on the dry ground,

Why are there so many mounds?

Lots of shovel sounds.

Mohan's Poem The yellow spotted lizard walks on the ground It wanted some food There are so many dirt mounds It was in a bad mood There are the shovel sounds But no food

__Isabel's poem:Haiku +Character__

Hey, it's Jc again and last time I spoke with you I spoke in poem form, I'm going to again but I'm also going to speak normally which is what I am doing right now. But about 1 or 2 days ago this kid Zero hit a counseler in the face with a very sharp shovel and ran off.

The sun is too hot,

But at least they've got water.

And so do the snakes.

Claire, chapters 25-27, plot notes, people would go to both Sam and Doctor hawthorn when sick Sam sold onions and had a donkey Kate barlow loved the donkey one day she had a problem and Sam said he could fix it Kate kept making up things for him to fix so she could spend time with him they fell in love and someone saw them kissing and everybody hated them Because a "negro" and a "white" couldn't kiss Sam was shot and killed along with his donkey. Kate shot a cop, and kissed him afterwards, and was one of the most feared outlaws in all the west His friends were accusing him of using zero as slave Mr.Sir actually fills stanleys canteen Stanley learns zero's real name

\

Claire chapters 31-33, Setting In the first part of these 3 chapters, Stanley is obviously in Camp Green Lake, digging holes. As we know, in the last chapter Stanley was beat up by zig-zag, REALLY bad. Zero choked him and got in trouble, got called stupid as usual, and hit Mr.Pendanski in the face with his shovel. He ran off, and wasn't seen. A new kid comes a few days after Zero runs off. BUt in the last part of theses chapters, Stanley steals the water truck, and went looking for Zero. Ooooooooooo......... mysterious

Mohan's paragraph, chap. 34-36, Connections

These chapters remind me of the time my family and I went hiking. It was burning hot and the drink we had reminded me of sploosh. We carried a shovel and a sack. This is a weird coincidence. But I had fun.

Chapters 25-27 Larry's point of view

Hello. Ith Larry the lithard. Firth thing firth, nobody make fun of my voith. In the lath chapter when Mr. Thir thammed that kidth head into the oatmeal pot. I was hungrily looking at a pile of thunflower theed thhells when hot, burning oatmeal fell on my tongue! Anyway, in chapterth 25 through 27, I wath reminded of the time when my onion man wath killed. His name was tham, and he had a nice donkey named Mary Lou. tham wath the only person that didn't run and hide He thmiled at me, and left out a bowl of water and a plate of onionth for me. Tham loved a girl named Kate Barlow, but after tham died I saw Kate Barlow turn into Kissin' Kate Barlow. Oh no! My mom just walked in the room! Mom: And after that you turned sour! Larry: Okay my moms crazy blah blah blah bye bye!

That reminded me of when my family and I climbed up a mountain. It wasn't that highbutnot too short either. We had some diffuculties on our way up too like when Stanley and Zero had to climb up a steep cliff, we had to dodge all the rolling cactuses while keeping balance on a very narrow path. Stanley found refuge on the top of the mountain. In that case it was a onion and some puddles of water. My family andI didn't really fing refuge on our mountain but we did feel relived and proud because we felt like we accomplished a goal.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #f91588; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 200%;">Hi there again, i'm the slithering snake.I'm witnessing Stanley and Zero climb up the mountain [God's thumb]. I'm afraid that Zero's tiny fragile body will collaspe. Whooh, they made it, although they had some troubles on the way. Now, they're up there finding some refuge. Ahh, Stanley is a clever one when he pointed out that there must be water some where when he peered at the moss, wildflowers, weeds, and mud. At last, Stanley does find some water, but it's a little filthy and unfiltered. They do find somethings to nibble up and guess what that is...onions!I'll let you figure out the rest.

__Isabel's ch. 34-36__ Summery:In chapter 34 Stanley is strait below the blazing sun and he is starting to think that he might have gone more than halfway. While holding the burlap sack he thinks that he see's a pool of water but it's just a mirage. While looking at the mountains he sees a strange object and starts walking toward it. It turns out to be a boat, then Stanley heard a sound and out came Zero. After Zero and Stanley talk for a little bit, they go under the boat and have a drink of something Zero calls sploosh. Then, they talk about how a kid named Barf bag ended up in a hospital and Zero asks who MaryLou (the name of the boat) is, so Stanley teaches him how to say it correctly. After that, Stanley asks Zero what the mountains look like so Zero held up a thumbs up sign with his hand.In chapter 36 Zero and Stanley set out for god's thumb and Zero wonders who Mary Lou was but doubles over in excrusiating pain and uses his shovel to get up. As Stanley gave Zero words to spell out he was suspecting that bacteria from the sploosh made Zero in pain. Then, they set up a mountain and Zero had to single handedly pull Stanley up a ledge but badley cuts his hands. After that every thing was fairly easy.

Not many more new characters were introduced since my first journal entry on characters. Well, there were some people introduced from the past, the past as in when there actually was a lake on Camp Green Lake! Here’s some that I remember: Katherine Barlow(Kissin' Kate Barlow), Sam, Dr. Hawthorn, and the mean old sheriff. At first, when I heard the name, Katherine Barlow, it didn't automatically come to me that SHE was Kissin' Kate Barlow, the biggest outlaw ever. She seemed so nice and polite! Sam also seemed to have a good-hearted personality. He shouldn't have been killed. I'm not sure if the sheriff told the angry mob about Sam, or the mob told him to hang Sam. The sheriff is just a cold minded guy! We don't know much about Dr. Hawthorn though…yet…

I once knew Sam and Kate I lived on this destert, but didn't have a date :( Zero's story made me sob  And he missed out the part of the angery mob (he only tells you if you're an understanding lizard)  I thought it was wierd  How Stanley felt a warm feeling that he should've feared  But it was just me  Cuddling up with Stanley  But, he knew he would die  That poor little guy

Valiika's character perspective

Glad for you to join us, i'm the Slithering snake. I kind of regret crawling on all that sweet sensation [frosting] on the cake. Now, i'm all sticky and slimy. The good news is that Stanley and Zero are free from that miserable camp. Did I ever mention to you that their celebrating by throwing a big party with Clyde Livingston in it! Hurray, for Stanley and Zero, now that I think about it they're as lucky as can be.
