I predict that in Holes Stanley will get bitten by a yellow spotted lizard. I think this because the book has talked about them a lot. Also the book says that the lizards live in holes.

I think that might happen because the book is talking about them all the time and I remember that the warden told Stanley that yellow spotted lizards like sunflower seeds.

I think that prediction is great I loved how you used imformatin from the text!

Allison that is a really good predition but I don't think that because I don't think the author will want the main character to die.

I think that will happen, and I liked how you backed it up with information

I predict that Stanley will be able to get out of camp green lake because he might find what the warden is looking for and she might think that Stanley has learned his lesson and she will let him go. Also maybe Stanley's mom convinces the police that Stanley didn't steal Clyde Livingston's shoes and they let him go.

I really do think this will happen at some point of the book because I think that Stanley might write a letter to his mom that he does not like the camp at all because he will get really tired and hungry

That is a great prediction it makes a lot f sense since Stanley Said that they were not digging for character but for something the warden wanted

I agree with your prediction because Stanley is innocent and it would be a fun to see what his life is like outside Camp Greenlake.

I think that X-ray will get bit by a yellow spotted lizard. I think this because he got some good luck, now I think he`s going to get bad luck too. also they are digging new holes in a new area so there might be one where he is digging his new hole.

Alex

11/10/2015 19:00:58

I agree because X-ray had really good luck getting the day off when Stanley found the tube.

Ryan

I predict that Stanley will get in a lot of trouble for taking the blame of eating all the sunflower seeds.Also if he gets in a lot of trouble I think that the Warden will make Stanley do extra work by digging more holes.I think that Stanley will get very tired and thirsty but the Warden will just keep making him work

Makenna

I think Stanley will loose his friends from Camp Green Lake because he might have told on his friends that got them into trouble . Then I think Stanley will get out of camp for honesty .

Rose

11/10/2015 18:27:16

I think that too. Then the police might realize that he is really very honest and they will let him go.

Alex

I think that Stanley will find Gods thumb. I predict this because Stanlet thinks he saw gods thumb,while digging his hole. I think he might do it with group D because he is always with them.To find gods thumb they will probably climb the mountain because that is where Stanley saw gods thumb. I think they will succeed and leave camp green lake for a happy ending.

Rebecca

I really like how you said that because in the book it made it seem that it was a big part of the story.

Rose

I think that Stanley will discover Kissin' Kate Barlow's lot when he goes out at night and digs in his old hole and Zero will come back.

The person

11/11/2015 07:47:58

I think that Stanley will climb to gods thumb. I think he will do this with Zero. After that I think Stanley and Zero will come back to camp green lake?with a story to tell and be able to go home.

Sophia

11/11/2015 07:51:59

I think that Stanley will climb to gods thumb because his great grandfather climbed to gods thumb but then survived. I think he will go with Zero. After that they will go back to green lake and go home

Christopher

I agree with that because Stanley talks a lot about his great-grandfather going to Gods thumb. I also think that Zero will go with Stanley to Gods thumb because on page 137-140, Zero goes away across the lake and to the mountains.

Nate

11/11/2015 18:18:48

I like that you said he will climb God's thumb because his great-grandfather did. I agree. I also think that Stanley will near the end of the book.

Aidan

I do not Know why Stanley did not tell the warden that he found it where he was digging yesterday?Also why did he give it to X-Ray? Coul some one clarify this for me.

Jamie

11/11/2015 16:54:08

Stanley did not tell the Warden that he found the tube where he was digging because now the Warden thinks that X-Ray found the tube but if Stanley told her that it was found where he was digging then the Warden will know that Stanley actually found the tube. Also Stanley gave the tube to X-Ray because X-Ray said that he has bad sight and he had been going to camp a lot longer than Stanley had so it would only be fair if X-Ray got the day off.

Julianne

I think Stanley didn't want to tell the warden the truth because that would get him and X-ray in trouble for lying.He would also get in trouble because he made them all dig extra hard in the wrong place. I think he gave the tube to X-ray in the first place because he felt bad for him that he never found anything and he knew that that would make X-ray be more friendly to him.

Jack

I wonder what happened to barf bag?Also how did they get their names? It said how x-Ray got his name but no one else. Mr Pendanski said that barf bag would be in the hospital for a while, but why. Did he get bit hit or brake a bone.

Derek

I have a connection to another book but I forget the name of it.In the book the kid does not want the mom to worry just like Stanley.

Christopher

11/11/2015 11:31:40

I think that Stanley will dig up something that will give him the day off. Then will be a turning point in the story were his bad luck will cease and this will give Stanley a good luck streak.

Anna

11/11/2015 18:04:51

I really like this prediction because in the book it said that Stanley has bad luck.

James

11/11/2015 17:57:34

I have a connection to the book. Every year I go to a sleep away camp for a month in the Berkshires. My mom gets really nervous so she has me wright to her every once and a while.

Anna

11/11/2015 18:02:55

I think Stanley will get to go home forever because he will find something in a hole he digs.

Nate

11/11/2015 18:16:10

I think that Stanley will see Zero while he is digging his hole and Zero will attack Stanley because he might think that if Stanley hadn't taught him he might not have hit Mr. Pendanski for calling him stupid.

Julianne

11/11/2015 18:21:01

I think that Zero went to God's Thumb. I think this because Stanley saw a rock in the distance that looked like a thumb, and if Stanley's great-grandfather found refuge there, that means that means that Zero probably could too.

Kieran O'Grady link

11/11/2015 18:27:40

I think Stanley will be proved innocent at the end of the book.I think Zero will tell everybody Stanley didn't do anything wrong in exchange for Stanley teaching him how to read.

Jamie

I predict that Stanley will get bitten by a Yellow-spotted lizard. Stanley has a long line of bad luck in his family but I think that when he gets bitten by one of the lizards he will live because his bad luck might end. I think that the place where he finds one of the lizards will be under one of his holes. I think this because in chapter 8 it says "the yellow-spotted lizards like to live in holes..."
I also predict that Madame Zeroni is related to Hector Zeroni! (Zero). Madame Zeroni is an old Egyptian woman who was introduced in chapter 7 as Stanley's great-great grandfather's friend. I think this because they have the same last name.

Colin

I predict Zero will find a small puddle and drink from it. Then he will get sick and try to go back to Camp Green Lake but his sickness will make him weak and he will fall. next a yellow spotted lizard will bite him and he will die.

Eva

I predict that Stanley will still teach Zero to learn behind the Warden's back, even though there is hidden cameras.

Rebecca

11/11/2015 20:14:57

I think that Stanley will climb to Gods thumb with Zero and find the loot that Trout Walkers was looking for.I also think that the reason the warden is having the kids dig holes is that she has heard the story of Kate Barlow and wants to find what she buried.

amanda

11/11/2015 20:38:20

I predict that the others at Camp Green Lake, except Zero, will start to dislike Stanley because at some point Stanley won't always take cover for them. But I think Zero will appreciate that Stanley is teaching him how to read. Stanley and Zero could become good friends.

I have a connection on Holes so far. This weekend my family was cleaning the house like crazy. We did this since Thanksgiving is coming up. It felt like we were working like a team, like Stanley and Zero climbing up gods thumb. Now we practically finished then cleaning twice as fast than we normally did when we all didn't help.
