Stanley was cursed by his great great grandfather
Stanley Yelnats says he had been cursed by his " No-good-dirty-rotton-pig-stealing-great-great- grandfather." He thought this because when his great great grandfather was young, he had promised something that he didnt do and he and all of his relatives were going to be cursed forever. -
Stanley had been hit by a shoe
One day Stanley Yelnats was walking home from school and a shoe flew from the sky and hit him in the head. This shoe was a very special shoe that had been stolen and was now in stanleys possesion. -
Stanleys desicion.
After being found with that shoe ( that he didnt even know was stolen) Stanley had a choice to go to camp green lake or to go to jail. Stanley had never been to a camp before so of course he chose camp green lake. -
Camp green lake
"There was no lake at camp green lake" It was just a very hot dry place with millions of holes in the ground, stanley got suspicous but he didnt bother to ask about it, he just knew he had to dig a hole a day.
