times bigger than the lighter child, Mrs Bell wrote on the
board that Stanley was 3:1 to the light child not knowing
how much embarresment she has just caused them both. I
think Stanley used to get bullied on at school because he
was seen as a natural victim, people could see that he was
soft so he was bullied.
Stanley's happiest thoughts are about about his life at
home and also about his mother and father, he never has
had much money in his life, he has never been to camp
before, he used to pretend he was at camp with stuffed
animals and things like that, he got on well with his father,
when he was on the bus going to camp green lake all he
could hear was the sound of his dads voice singing to him
before he went to sleep, I know that he cares about his
mother because when he writes home he lies to her so she
stays happy, he says that he is doing water sports and
swimming everyday, when really he is having a dreadfull
time digging holes all day everyday.
Stanley is a very inteligent boy, he's allways making
connections between things. He quickly works out the
connections between KB on the lipstick tube and kissing
'kate barlow'.
Stanley is not very 'street wise', he's sometimes slow to
realise how the other boys think and feel. He firstly upsets
Zig-zag and then he upsets Armpit.
The crime that Stanley was supposed to have
commited was stealling Clive Livingstones trainers from a
homeless shelter.
When Stanley upsets Zig-Zag he gets into a fight, he
was loosing so Zero helped him and hit Mr Pendandski
across the head with a shovel, Zero got scared and ran,
Stanley soondevelops a sense of responsibility for Zero and
feels guilty when Zero runs away. The next day Stanley was
waiting in line to have his canteen filled when he see's that
the key's are in the igntion, without thinking he jumps into
the van and drives into the desert in search of Zero. Stanley
sometimes suprises himself by being extremly brave.
Life at camp greenlake changed Stanley alot, he is no
longer fat, weak and he is no longer bullied, but most of all
he has become alot more brave than he used to be,here are
some times when Stanley was a brave person;
He stole the water truck to look for Zero.
He carried Zero up the mountain.
He went to look for Zero with no water.
He stayed still when yellow spotted lizzards were on
him.
