- In Chapter 3, Stanley’s father, an inventor, says, “I learn from failure.” What do you think this means? Have you ever learned from failure? If Stanley's father is an inventer, he most likely has invented tons of things but also had a lot of failures. I think'' I learn from failure means to get something wrong but you learn what you did wrong and correct it. I have learned from failure before. Once, in a spelling test I got 1 word wrong. Then I looked at the solution and found out what I did wrong.
- Why do the boys call Mr. Pendanski “Mom”? Does this nickname suit him?
I think the boys call Mr. Pendanski ''Mom" because she has a very big heart. I honestly don't think the name suits him because he is a man not a woman. - Why don’t the boys believe Stanley when he tells them he stole the sneakers?
The boys don't believe Stanley when he said he stole the sneakers because Stanley does look like a nice gentle person and those are shoes from a very famous person. - What does Stanley learn from digging his first hole? Why do you think he feels proud when his hole is finished?
Stanley learns that digging a 5 feet deep and wide hole is very hard. He also learns that when you are actually through the surface it is a bit more easier. I think Stanley feels proud when his hole is finally finished because it was very hard to dig that hole and he put a lot of effort in it. - How do you feel about the nickname X-Ray gives Stanley? Do you have a nickname? If so, how did you get it?
I don't really like the nickname too much because it sounds a bit mean but he is the biggest in the group and he is a bit unkept. - Why do the boys always line up for water in the same order? What’s the significance to this order?
I think the boys always line up for water in the same order because there is a pattern. I think the significance to this order is first the leader. [which is X-Ray] Then the people that are most trustful and loyal to the leader.
- Mr. Pendanski tells Stanley, "You messed up your life, and it's up to you fix it." Do you agree with this?
I don't really agree with it because Stanley actually didn't even do anything. Mr. Pendanski just doesn't know about the curse Stanley's great-great grandfather gave the Yelnats family. That is why Staley keeps poping up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
