Inferences+for+Holes

=Inferences for Holes=

Add your three inferences to the chart. Remember to include your name!

And since you're dead, what you believe(d) doesn't matter anymore. || If one bites you your unable to make any decisions. Why couldn't someone make a decision, because they died. This relates to going into the shade if you get bit as well. Prior text that you ALWAYS die if you get bitten by a YSL. ||
 * Text (page and quote) || Inference || What was used to make this inference? ||
 * Ch 8.Gloria Piti (Pg.41) "A lot of people don't believe in yellow spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a difference if you believe in it or not." || Because if one bites you, your dead.
 * Ch. 8 Gloria Piti (Pg. 41) "If you've ever been close enough to see the yellow spots, your probably dead." || If you are that close you must have been bitten || The whole chapter is telling the reader how deadly they are and to avoid them and if your close your dead. So therefore if your close your dead. ||
 * Ch. 8 Gloria Piti (Pg. 42) "The yellow-spotted lizards like to live in holes, which offer shade from the sun and protection from predatory birds. Up to twenty lizards may live in one hole. They have strong, powerful legs, and can leap out of very deep holes to attack their prey. They eat small animals, insects, certain cactus thorns, and the shells of sunflower seeds." || Prior holes are dangerous and should not be played in. Or, that the boys should not be digging holes, as they may encounter YSL.

Sunflower seeds, which have popped up a few times are one of their foods... This is not an inference. The text tells us that YSL eat "the shells of sunflower seeds." I think the inference you're trying to get at is a prediction that something may happen with the YSL and Mr. Sir's sunflower seeds? || Background knowledge and perhaps foreshadowing. Gloria, what do you need, specifically, to make the inference that one shouldn't play (or dig?) in holes? You need to know that A) YSL live in holes, B) YSL are deadly and people should not get close to them, C) the boys dig holes all day. || "Stanley wasn't sure what to say. X-Ray was clearly the leader of the group, and Stanley didn't want to get on his bad side. || We know that Stanley was picked on at school, so we can infer that he does not want to be in the same situation at Camp Green Lake. || Drawing on the text (the flashbacks of Stanley's school days). || the short sentences, his thoughts, the slamming of the shovel, and a general feeling of injustice because an Mr. Pandanski agreed with him but the promised reward was not delivered. || The sentence tells us that "except for Zero" X-Ray is the smallest, therefore Zero must be smaller than X-Ray. Okay, but to make the inference, we need to put together that some people might feel that the biggest kid is the toughest kid, the toughest kid is the leader of the pack. We need to use background knowledge. || "Again, Stanley was the last one to finish digging. It was a late afternoon when he dragged himself back to the compound.This time he would have accepted a ride on the truck if it was offered." || From this I gathered that digging holes must be exhausting. More than that, it's that he was SO exhausted that he would even take a ride in the truck, even though that wouldn't sit well with the other boys. || Stanley would have accepted a ride in the truck in a second if he was given the choice. It was also late in the afternoon, so he had been digging all day, even through the hottest part. He was so tired that he had to drag himself back to the camp. I'm assuming that walking took too much effort; he wanted to just collapse and sleep. Okay, but we need to use the text that came before (ch. 7). The day before Stanley was offered a ride and he said no. Perhaps we were supposed to infer then that he didn't want to look weak in the eyes of the other boys, or didn't want to set himself apart. Now we learn that Stanley would choose a ride over whatever happened when he got back. || "Hey,Caveman. You get your hole dug?" asked Magnet. He managed to nod. "You spit in it?" asked Squid. He nodded again. || This shows that by spitting, the boys are able to prove to the camp that they can do it; and there's nothing that Mr. Sir or the Warden can do to break them. Its almost like their way of laughing in their faces. || To make this inference I used background knowledge from previous chapters as well as the tone of voice from the text. The boys spit in their holes everyday, its just part of their way of life. I agree! || "What about it, Zero?" asked Mr. Pendanski. "What do you like to do?" "I like to dig holes." || This passage makes me think about Zero's life. I believe that he has had a tough life and maybe that digging holes is a good thing for him, as he has never gone to school. He may not have anything to look forward to when he leaves Camp Green Lake. So is the inference that Zero has nothing else to look forward to? || Zero answers this question bluntly, as if he could care less. Earlier in this chapter Stanley notes how Zero does not show emotion; he has just seen him smile for the first time. I think that this just may be how his life is. Seems that we need to take what we've learned thus far about Zero and use it to infer that he's got nothing else to look forward to but digging holes. || "After a while he lost track of the day of the week, and how many holes he'd dug. It all seemed like one big hole, and it would take a year and a half to dig it. He guessed he'd lost at least five pounds. He figured that in a year and a half he'd be either in great physical condition, or else dead." || Digging holes every day is very hard on the body and on the emotional state of the campers. It isn't an easy or an enjoyable activity and it even leads them to them loose track of time. I'm not sure I understand what you are inferring. || Stanley has lost track of the day of the week and he believes that he's lost weight due to the never-ending digging. He feels like it's one big hole, even though we know its really just one a day. || "What you got there Caveman?" asked Zigzag. Stanley's large hand closed around the tube. "Nothin', just, uh..." It was useless. "I think I might have found something." || Zigzag has seen that Stanley has found something and that he's checking it out. Stanley tried to hide it from Zigzag at first but decides hiding isn't worth it, he'd rather give it up and show it to him. So what is the inference? That Stanley feels it's better to give it up than to hide it? || Zigzag has obviously seen that Stanley has something because he asks what he has. Stanley closing his hand around the tube tells us he initially tries to prevent it from being seen but then say it's usless, letting us know he think hiding it won't be successful or worth the outcome that would preceed. This is the inference. || "X-ray smiled. "Good thinking, Caveman." He dropped the tube into his large pocket on the right leg of his dirty orange pants." || X-ray thinks that Caveman is right and he should wait until the next day to show the tube to Mr. Sir. He puts it in his pocket in order to save if for tomorrow. He has taken the advice Stanley gave him. What's the inference--that X-Ray will wait until tomorrow? || The fact that X-ray smiles then says good thinking, it shows he agrees with Stanleys idea. We know he will actually save it for the next day because he puts it in his pants pocket. || "For once in his unlucky life, he was in the right place at the right time, and it still didn't help him." || Stanley finally feels like he has the opportunity be good at something, and is contemplating whether giving the gold tube to x-ray was the right thing to do. I'm not sure I understand what the inference is here. || Stanley is saying he is in the right place at the right time because enough holes have been dug that the boys are finally finding what the Warden wants. Saying that "it didn't help" refers to Stanley not being able to take credit for the gold tube. This is the inference. We built this from A) our knowledge that Stanley attributes all his misfortune to bad luck (being in the wrong place at the wrong time). We had to infer previously in the story that Stanely feels that if he could just be in the right place at the right time, everything would work out right. Now we can add that "it still didn't help him." || "You got it? he asked X-Ray the next morning at breakfast. X-Ray looked at him with half-opened eyes behind his dirty glasses. "I don't know what you're talking about" he grumbled." || Here X-Ray is denying knowing about the gold tube even though Stanley just gave it to X-Ray the day before. || The reader knows that X-Ray knows what Stanley is talking about from the chapter before. Stanley asking about the gold tube and X-Ray lying implies that something is going on with X-Ray. This is the inference. || "One thing was for certain: They weren't digging to "build character." They were definitely looking for something." || The author chooses to put the words "build character" in parentheses to point out that Stanley has figured out that there is a purpose behind the boys having to dig holes everyday. || Up until this part of the story, we have been unsure as to why the boys have to dig holes and have been led to believe that it's a method to build character. Based on what I know about text structure and cues I can make the inference that the author is showing that Stanley has had an epiphany about what the purpose of them having to dig really is. || "Zero," said the Warden. "I want you to take over X-Ray's hole." She seemed to know that Zero was the fastest digger." || The Warden wants Zero to dig in the spot that X-Ray was digging because she feels that if he is digging there and because he is a fast digger, he will be the one most likely to find something. I'm not so sure we're supposed to think that he's more likely to find something, but that she is anxious to see what's there, so she tells Zero to dig--he'll get there faster. || The fact that we have learned that Zero is a fast digger and that the Warden is a "tough" person who usually gets what she wants because most people including the kids and Mr. Sir fear her. || "Occasionally Mr. Sir would leave to take water to the other groups of campers, but otherwise he and the water truck stayed parked there. The Warden saw to it that nobody in Group D was ever thirsty." || The Warden is keeping the kids hydrated because she knows that if she doesn't allow them to get thirsty they will continue to work hard. || We know from the book that the conditions of Camp Davis are extreme heat and dry air. Based on my knowledge of what it's like to work in these conditions and how thirsty I become, I can make the inference that as long as the boys don't become thirsty they will continue to work hard. || "The other bodies in the room were little more than bags of slush and bones, dumped across broken chairs and couches." || That the Wreck room is clearly a 'wreck'. || The descriptive words that are used to describe the wreck room, send chills down your spine as Stanley enters. Okay, but to make the inference that the "wreck" room is a "wreck," we need background knowledge to understand the boys spelling it "wreck" instead of "rec" means that they've made this play on words. || "He looked for a hidden camera in the shower. He hadn't seen anything, and he hoped the Warden hadn't either." || That if the Warden had found a hidden camera, there would be trouble. I'm not sure I get this. I inferred that Stanley got a little paranoid in the shower, because ZigZag told him that the Warden had hidden cameras. I infer that Stanley doesn't want her to see him in the shower (creepy!) || The fact that Stanley hoped the Warden had not seen anything makes you infer that he is up to no good. || "My name's Caveman", said Stanley. "Well I have a letter here for someone named Stanley Yelnats," said Mr. Pendanski. He turned over an envelope in his hand."It doesn't say Caveman anywhere." || That Stanley is trying to fit in and make his name officially Caveman, having a cool nickname like the others. || The way that Stanley denies his real name, making a fuss about being called 'Caveman'. || ""You're giving these boys too much water," the Warden told Mr. Pendanski." || The Warden is upset because the hole isn't big enough and they haven't found what she is looking for, and uses the boys drinking too much water as an excuse for why nothing has been found. I agree that we are supposed to infer that she's angry that the boys haven't found anything. Now she's punishing them. || This is the inference because we know the Warden's personality and we know she can be very mean and demanding. Also the Warden is thought to be aggressive and angry when she does not get her way. We also need to recall that, when the Warden thought they were close to finding something, she gave them more water to keep them moving and possibly reward them. || "Then he told him to get back to work. "It isn't nap time."" || Mr. Sir is scared that the Warden is going to get even more frustrated and take her anger out on the counselors, so he choose to say that its not nap time (even though it really isn't) in order to scare Stanley into working and getting up faster. || We know this because the Warden previously yelled at Mr. Pendanski because the hole didn't look big enough and nothing was found while they were digging. The Warden is most likely to only get more mad and angry about the campers not finding anything. || "He scooped it up, then Zigzag dug his shovel into the ground underneath where "Stanley's dirt" had been." || Stanley is annoyed and confused as to why Zigzag made him move his dirt. Stanley also may feel like it was a ridiculous thing for Zigzag to ask him to move his dirt, when everyone is digging in the same big hole and no one is responsible for certain bits of dirt. Okay, so we're supposed to infer that one camper is not supposed to mess with another camper's dirt. Every shovelful is precious--every shovelful is work. || We can make this inference because, mainly, the quotation and emphasis on "Stanley's dirt". We know from prior text that the whole group was digging in one big hole and that the reason Stanley got hurt was because of Zigzags shovel hitting him in the head. Zigzag also didn't apologize he just tells Stanley that he's not digging up HIS dirt. || "The next morning Mr. Sir marched the boys to another section of the lake, and each boy dug his own hole, five feet deep and five feet wide." || Camp Green Lake is huge. || Mr. Sir took them to //another// section of the lake. Before this chapter, the Warden had Stanley's group dig and deepen X-Ray's hole. From this quote, we can infer that there are //other// sections of the lake that is being dug or needs to be dug. Interesting point. We might also infer that they'll never find anything if the Lake is that huge! || "He stayed in the tent to write the letter so Squid and the other boys wouldn't make fun of him for writing to his mother." || Stanley would be embarrassed if he was seen writing to his mother because he did not want to be seen as a momma's boy. || Stanley's nickname is Caveman and the Caveman is supposed to represent someone tough. If any of the campers saw him writing to his mother, they will surely laugh at him. Writing sweetly to your mother was not considered tough. || "He wasn't laughing at Zero. He was just surprised. All this time he had thought Zero was reading over his shoulder." || Stanley is sort of relieved to know that Zero cannot read. Do you mean that we're supposed to infer that Stanley is relieved because that means that Zero hasn't been reading over his shoulder and thinking he's a momma's boy? || We know from prior reading that Zero had been standing behind Stanley and he assumes that Zero is reading his letter. After Zero confessed that he does not know how to read or write, Stanley was surprised and relieved to know that Zero was not reading his letters which he lied to make his parents less worried about him. || “I got allergies okay?” squid said. “Okay,” said Stanley. “You open your mouth again and I’ll break your jaw.” || Squid is embarrassed because Stanley heard him crying, and he doesn’t want to talk about it with Stanley or let him know he was really crying. || I know this because when Stanley heard him crying, and he asked him if he was ok, Squid said he wasn’t and to stop talking about it. Squid thinks he’s tough and would be embarrassed if the other boys knew he was crying, so he threatens Stanley so he won’t ask anymore. || "It was air-conditioned inside her cabin. The television was going. She picked up the remote and turned it off." (89) || We are able to infer the Warden has a great deal of power and privilege at Camp Green Lake. We are also able to infer that it must be very hot outside. || The Warden has a great deal of power. While the campers are working hard in the hot heat, she is inside her air-conditioned office watching television. She can do what she pleases. Also, we are able to tell that is extremely hot outside because Stanley is able to notice the change in temperature. || "In that room, Caveman, there's a small flowered case. Will you get it for me, please?" (89) || From this quote, we can infer how the Warden feels about her "campers". She calls Stanley by his nickname, not his proper given name. The warden seems to not care about the overall well being of her campers, and seems to have some ulterior motives. || Unlike Mr. Pendanski who calls each boy by his proper first name, the Warden calls each boy by his nickname. When Stanley arrives at Camp Green Lake, Mr. Pendanski tells him, "I'm going to help you turn you life around". By comparing the two ways that the Warden and Mr. Pendanski address the campers, we are able to determine how the Warden regards the members of her camp. Yes, and we need to pull this together with the fact that instead of calling Stanley, "Caveman," she calls him, "Stanley." Something's up! || "He hoped he'd finish before Mr. Sir recovered. He didn't want to be out there alone with Mr. Sir. //He won't die//, the Warden said. //Unfortunately for you//." (92) || Stanley is afraid of Mr. Sir, especially what may happened if he is alone with him after the Warden poisened him with rattle snake venom. Stanley almost feels as if Mr. Sir wants revenge. The Warden also frightens Stanley by saying its unfortunate for you, he will be around. || From the text and background knowlege. We knew what happene to Mr. Sir and why Stanley should be afraid. Stanley also makes it clear he does not want to be alone with Mr. Sir. And, by adding "uforutnately for you," we can infer that the Warden is telling Stanley that Mr. Sir will get back at him some how. || "Hey, Caveman!" called Armpit. "You're still alive." "What'd the Warden say?" asked X-Ray." (93) || The Warden is really scary and that other boys of Group D were expecting the Warden to kill Stanley for (taking the blame for) stealing Mr. Sir's sunflower seeds. || The text. Armpit thought the Warden was going to kill Stanley. || "Confused, Stanley looked around- from Magnet, to Armpit. to Zigzag, to Squid. None of them took credit for it. Then he turned to Zero, who had been quietly diggeing in his hole since Stanley's return. Zero's hole was smaller than all the others." (94) || Zero finished digging Stanley's hole for him while he was the Warden. || The text. Because none of the other boys took the credit. The fact that Zero was still digging and his hole was smaller than the others infers that Zero took time to dig Stanley's hole for him. Good! || "He could think of no reason why Zero would dig his whole for him. Zero didn't even get any sunflower seeds." (95) || This quote helps us to infer that Zero feels bad for Stanley. It also helps us to infer that Zero is a nice, caring boy. Maybe we're also supposed to infer that Zero does want something. After all, he asked Stanley to teach him to read. || Since Zero took time from digging his own hole to dig Stanley's we see that he is a very nice and caring boy. This action also helps us to understand that he feels bad specifically for Stanley because he only helps Stanley and no one else. || "A big smile spread across Zero's face." (96) || From this quote we can infer that Zero is happy. Yes, this is a very basic inference. No hard to make. || We inferred this because a smile is a facial expression that is associated with happiness. Not only is Zero smiling but he had a big smile makes us understand that he is extremely happy. || "trying to act like it was nothing, but his smile gave him away." (97) || This quote helps us to infer that Zero is both happy and proud of himself. || The smile again gives us the indication that Zero is happy. Zero is happy with himself because he knows most of the alphabet. In the camp he is seen as "dumb" but in this moment the reader reads that he is actually very smart but just needs some teaching. || "A special prize was given every year to Miss Katherine Barlow for her fabulous spiced peaches. No one else ever tried to make spiced peaches, because they knew none could be as delicious as hers." (page 101) || Miss Katherine Barlow is well known in Green Lake. Not only is she a teacher, she is also a talented cook. The residents of Green Lake probably thought that Katherine Barlow was a sweet women who made the best spiced peaches. Okay, but what is the inference, specfically? Perhaps that the townsfolk hold her in very high regard because they gave out a "special" prize? || As readers, we are finally able to learn more about Katherine Barlow. Miss Katherine Barlow is the only school teacher at Great Lake and she has the important job of teaching not only children but adults as well. This quote tells a little about the personality of Katherine Barlow. By being a teacher people believe her to be caring, helpful, and kind. By making the best spiced peaches people might think of her as being a housewife who will always be there for her husband. || "It was said that Green Lake was 'heaven on earth' and that Miss Katherine's spiced peaches were 'food for the angels'" (page 102) || This quote can show an important connection between Green Lake and Katherine Barlow. Green Lake used to be an amazing place with peach trees and water that sparkled. || Green Lake and Katherine Barlow both share an important connection. In the beginning Green Lake and Katherine Barlow were both wonderful. Green Lake was a great place to live in Texas and Katherine Barlow was looking foreward to a bright future. As we learn later on in the text, both Green Lake and Katherine Barlow undergo huge changes that have an impact on the lives of the children who are at Green Lake now. || "Trout has always gotten everything he ever wanted. He found it hard to believe that Miss Katherine had turned him. He pointed his figure at her and said, 'No one ever says 'No" to Charles Walker!" (page 103) || Charles Walker seems like a spoiled rich man who isn't use to hearing the word no. He is used to getting everything that he wants and seems taken back when Katherine Barlow turns him down. At the end of his sentence, he seems to threat Katherine Barlow with the words "no one says no to Charles Walker." Okay. We are __told__ that he gets everything he wants. We need to __infer__ that he is threatening Kate--that he'll do something bad to her to get back at her. || Charles Walker is spoiled because he is use to getting everything that he ever wanted. He seems very confident with himself as a man and feels worthy of having any woman that he wants. When Charles told Katherine Barlow that no one ever says no to him, he seems very assertive and aggressive which leads the readers to believe that he will teach her a lesson and make her wish that she never told him no. || "The other boys in Stanleys tent had obviously seen Mr. Sir as well, but they had the good sense not to say anthing" (104) || If the boys pointed out that Mr.Sirs face was swollen and beat up, they probably would have gotten yelled at or in trouble by Mr.Sir || I used the knowledge of what "the good sense not to do something" means. I know that this phrase implies, it would be a stupid move to do this. Good. || "As Stanley waited, he ran his toungue over the roof of his mouth and inside his cheeks. His mouth was as dry and as parched as the lake" (106) || Stanley is __very__ thirsty || I used my personal knowledge about being thirsty. I know what this feels like. I also know that the "lake" at Camp Green Lake is non-existant. When Stanley says "his moth was as dry and parched as the lake" he is comparing his mouth to the now desert that used to be called a lake. || "Mr.Sir turned the water back on, and again Stanley watched it pour into the dirt...There, that should be plenty Mr.Sir said" (106) || Mr.Sir holds a grudge over Stanley. Stanley witnessed Mr.Sirs scratch by the Warden, when he was trying to get Stanley punished. So our inference is that Mr. Sir is deliberately getting back at Stanley. || It was implied that Mr.Sir did this on purpose, obviously he saw the water fall onto the ground and not into the jug. The tone of the way Mr.Sir says "there that should be enough" is very sarcastic. || "Doc Hawthorn was almost completely bald, and in the morning his head often smelled like onions." (109) || Doc Hawthorn uses the onion remedy to try to cure his baldness. Yes, That makes me laugh! || This can be infered by using the prior knowledge from the chapter that Sam made a famous remedy with his onions to cure baldness. || "You Seem distracted." "Oh, just the weather," said Miss Katherine. "It looks like rain clouds moving in." (109) || It is going to rain and Miss Katherine does not like the rain for some reason. || This can be infered by knowing that Miss Katherine is not acting herself at the moment and she can see the rain clounds coming in. By knowing rain clouds mean rain, you can infer that Miss Katherine does not want it to rain. || "She was sad when the roof was finished." (110) || Miss Katherine does not want to lose sam's company. She enjoys talking to him and knows that now that the roof is finished he will no longer be around. || This can be infered because the previous section of the chapter it discusses how much she likes being around sam, and now he is finished. || pg. 112 "Not one child showed up for school the next morning. Miss Katherine sat alone in the classroom and wondered if she had lost track of the day of the week." || None of the kids showed up to school that day because news had spread about Miss.Katherine and the onion picker but she did not realize that people knew yet. || It stated before how wrong it was for the onion picker and Miss.Katherine to kiss and that when it did get out people where not going to like it. So when no one showed up for school the only reasoning had to be that everyone knew, and it said that it spread around Green Lake. Good. || pg. 115 "Since then, not one drop of rain has fallen on Green Lake." || It has not rained on Green lake since they killed Sam and all the bad things happened. But what is the inference? || Green lake was a fun exciting place, but once they killed Sam and told Miss.Katherine they could not be together the place became a miserable town. It said whom did god punish? and god stopped the rain from falling because what happened. So w'ere supposed to infer that it is because Sam was killed that the rain stopped--God's punishment to the people for the way they treated Sam and Kate? || pg. 115 "Then she carefully applied a fresh coat of red lipstick and gave him the kiss he had asked for. For the next twenty years Kissin' Kate Barlow was one of the most feared outlaws in all the west." || She was so feared because she killed someone in such a cold way and then applied red lipstick and kissed him like he wanted. Okay, but also that she wanted people to know why. She deliberately left the lipstick mark, as her mark. || In the story before he had begged for a kiss so she finally gave him one and then killed him. She killed him because of what the Sheriff did to Sam, and for everyone to know that she is no longer nice Miss.Katherine. || pg. 117 "Sometimes, in fact, Stanley hoped the Warden was watching them, with her secret cameras and microphones, so she'd know that Zero wasn't as stupid as everyone thought." || This is an inference because she obviously doesn't have cameras and microphones she just is inferring that Zero is not as stupid as everyone thinks. Yes, and we now know that Stanely does not actually think she does have cameras. In prior chapters, we are led to believe that Stanley thinks the Warden has cameras. || In the story, everyone makes fun of Zero because he does not know how to both read and write. Stanley wanted the Warden to realize that he is not dumb and was home that she would see him. || pg. 117 "I risked my life for those seeds, Magnet had said, and all I got was a lousy handful." || This is inferring that the boys are very scared of the Warden and thought constantly that they were going to get caught. || Magnet stole the sunflower seeds out of the canteen truck and was very nervous while he did it. He only got a couple of them so he was upset. || pg. 118 "Stanley was afraid to drink it. He hated to think what kind of vile substance Mr. Sir might have put in it." || This is inferring that Mr. Sir and Stanley both don't get along well. We're also supposed to infer that Mr. Sir still is trying to get back at Stanley, or at least that's what Stanley thinks. || Saying that Stanley was afraid to drink the water even though it was extremely hot out that he had to pour it out inferred how horrible their relationship was. ||
 * Ch. 9 Chris Keller (Pg 43) "Stanley stood in the shower and let the cold water pour over his hot and sore body. It was four minutes of heaven." || Any form of cooling down was rare while digging holes at camp. Four minutes of cooling down being compared to heaven must mean it is extremely hot all day. || A four minute shower was considered to be heaven, even though it was cold water. We know that it is hard work in the hot sun. Therefore, any way to cool off is great. ||
 * Ch 9 Chris Keller (Pg 45) "The last thing he wanted to do after killing himself all day on the lake was to get in a fight with a boy called the Caveman." || After a hard day of working in the hot sun he does not want to get into a fight with one of the stronger campers, who earned a nickname such as Caveman I'm not sure I understand how this is an inference. To me, the inference is that Stanley thinks the boy in the orange jumpsuit is named Caveman. (We later learn that's incorrect, but...) || We know Caveman is tough because the boys inform Stanley on how tough the Caveman really is. We know Stanley is tired because he said he "killed" himself all day in the field and he tells Caveman he is very tired. ||
 * Ch. 9 Chris Keller (Pg 45) "That's what I'm saying, But now the fun's gone. And you still got to do it again, and again, and again." || Digging the holes becomes repetitive and becomes more of a task rather than a game. || The boys at camp have been digging holes a lot longer than Stanley and begin to tell him after every day the task becomes less fun ||
 * Ch. 10 Shannon Mulcahey (p.48) "The only thing that got him out of bed was knowing that every second he wasted meant he was one second closer to the rising of the sun. He hated the sun". || Stanley hates the sun because when digging his holes in the dry desert like land the sun makes it very hot and uncomfortable for Stanley. || Stanley does not really hate the sun, only when he is at Camp Green Lake. We gain this through the text and through previous texts about the climate and temperature in the area. Yes, we know that it's hot in the blazing sun, that in Chapter 7 Mr. Sir tells Stanley that he better move along or he'll "be digging in the hottest part of the day" and that Stanley realizes that it just keeps getting hotter. Now S doesn't want to waste one second because the earlier he gets out there, the earlier (less hot) he'll finish his hole. ||
 * Ch. 10 Shannon Mulcahey (p.49) "He continued to look down at the rock. He picked it up. He thought he could see the shape of fish, fossilized in it". || This shows that the "lake" was once really a lake with fish. It is evident that it was many many years ago it the fish has already become a fossil. || This became clear through this passage and past refrences to the "lake" drying up due to the climate in the area. ||
 * Ch. 10 Shannon Mulcahey (p.51) "Sorry, Stanley. The Warden isn't interested in fossils." || We can gather that the Warden is looking for something bigger, something more valuable. || Stanley was told he would get the day off if he found something the Warden liked but it was not the fossil. This means that there is something else they are expected to find. ||
 * Ch. 11 Kelby Sisson (p.52) "Say, listen," said X-Ray. "If you find something else, give it to me, okay?"
 * Ch. 11 Kelby Sisson (p.52) Stanley returned to his hole. It wasn't fair. Mr. Pandanski had even said his fossil was interesting. He slammed his shovel into the ground and pried up another piece of earth. || We can gather that Stanley is angry. || Drawing on the text:
 * Ch. 11 Kelby Sisson (p. 53) It was a little surprising, he thought, that X-Ray was the leader of the group, since he obviously wasn't the biggest or the toughest. In fact, except for Zero, X-Ray was the smallest. || Here we learn that Zero is the smallest member of the group and being the leader of a group (even of "bad" boys) is not just about your size . This part is the inference. We infer that, at least at CGL, leadership rests on something other than size. || Drawing on Text:

 * Ch. 14 (p. 66) "Just keep digging until someone says otherwise" Mr. Pendanski said. Then he smiled. "But if I were you, Rex, I wouldn't dig too hard." || Mr. Pendanski is inferring to X-Ray that because he found the gold tube he will be rewarded. Okay, so our inference is that Mr. P thinks that the Warden will be happy with X-Ray's prize and reward him by giving hin the day off. || We know The Warden is searching for something and from Mr. Pendanski's reaction the reader can tell its important. Mr. Pendanski telling X-Ray that he shouldn't "dig too hard" means he will not have to dig holes for the day or rewarded in some way. ||

 * Ch. 19 Jocelyn Auld- “As Mr. Sir would say, this isn’t Girl Scout Camp.” Page?? || Camp Green Lake is not fun and is very hard. || Girl Scout camp is fun and easy, and if Mr. Sir is saying this isn’t like that, then it must be hard work. ||
 * Ch. 19 Jocelyn Auld- “Stanley looked up at the approaching dust cloud, then back down at the spilled seeds. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Page?? || Stanley is going to get in trouble for stealing the seeds. || The seeds are spilled in front of Stanley and Mr. Sir is on his way to find them. When he got arrested for stealing the sneakers he actually didn’t, and he said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time then. ​ Yes, which also helps us see that Stanley seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time a lot! ||
 * Ch. 20 Jaclyn Garvey " It felt good to walk in the shade of the two oak trees. Stanley wondered if this was how a condemned man felt on his way to the electric chair--appreciating all of the good things in life for the last time." (88) || We can infer that the Warden is extremely scary. Stanley is not sure if he will survive his visit with her. Yes, and we can also infer that Stanely is appreciating this walk in the shade, since it's not something he gets to do because of his "imprisonment." || By using Stanley's comparison between the Warden and the electric chair, we can infer that Stanley is extremely scared. We also use our previous knowledge on electric chairs to know that when someone is sent to the electric chair they do not survive. Thus, Stanley is not sure if he will survive his visit with the Warden. ||
