Stanley Yelnats has something in common with a man that will become one of the most powerful people in the world today, who is that person?
Stanleys great great grandfather left Latvia and travelled to America.
Joe Biden’s great great grandfathers left Ireland during the famine in 1850 and travelled to America. His great great grandfathers were from Ballina in Co. Mayo and The Cooley Peninsula in Co. Louth.
Q 1: Maybe because he wants to sell it or to keep it for himself.
Q 2: Because he doesnt want her to worry about him so he lied to her.
1.the warden said if u found anything special or interesting they would bring it to mr Pendanski and mr sir and if they like it they get a day of.
2.Stanley wrote stuff to his mother about what happening and what’s he doing.
1. The warden asks them if they find any interesting that they should report it to Mr Sir and Mr Pendanski and if the warden liked it he could have the rest of the day off.
2.Stanley wrote nice things about the camp so that his Mother would not have to worry about him and to let her know how he was getting on.
The warden wants to see anything that is worth money. That’s the only reason they make the boys dig all day.
He told his mam this because he wants her to think he is having lots of fun. If she knew what it was really like she would be upset and worried about him.
1. I think he says that about good stuff hey find because they could be valuable.
2. I think stanley said that to his mom because he doesn’t have friends at home.
1. I think, it is that if they find something interesting they can sell it for money to buy the food for camp.
2. To keep his mam calm and sop her from worrying after he was sent away to camp green lake. His mam doesn’t know what it is like.
1. I think they have to report something back because if they find something good they can get money for it.
2. Stanley said that because he didn’t have friends back home.

1. The Warden was interested in different things, not like fossils.
2. So his Mam won’t be worried about him.
**Can you make a guess at what the warden is hoping the boys will find when digging. Maybe the digging is not for building character as he stated earlier in the book.
Qestion? The warden tells them to give him anything they find because if it was valubel. Qestion? Maybe stanley wrote it because it was big news to him.
Summery: Stanlys great great grandfather left latvia to come to America.Stanly wrote a letter to his mother saying: dear mum i have made a new friend but im really sore we work all day but if i finish digging i get to go water ski. Stanly stopped writing and he saw someone looking over his shouleder
1.If they find anything interesting they must report it to the Warden and if he likes it they get the day off.
2.Stanley said that because he didnt want his mam to worry.
The person in the picture is Joe bidin.
The warden is looking for treasures.
I think Stanley wants his mom in a nicer place then jail.
1. The warden wanted the boys to give him anything they found that was interesting in the holes so he could make some money of it?
2. He wanted his mum not to worry about him so he said the camp was really fun and cool.
3. Joe Biden
Qu 1: Why does the warden ask the boys to show them anything interesting they find?
Ans: I think because they might find gold and he will want to keep it himself because he seems greedy and selfish.
Qu 2: In the letter to his Mom, why did Stanley write ‘I’ve made some friends and I’ve been on the lake all day. Once I pass the swimming test, I get to water ski’?
Ans: I think he wrote the letter to his Mom so that she would think that he is okay and he lied because he doesnt want her to worry about him.
**Very good Lucy, maybe the warden is making them dig holes so they can find him treasure.
