Vocabulary- Melody.T

This weekend I went to a desert for a girls scout camp it was the was camp I ever went. Our only water is the ones for running that you tie on your waist and little bottle around the thing that you tied but, of course that wasn’t enough because we needed to be train to live in a certain amount of water so our voice was dry and raspy the whole time. We had to rock climb too. It was really hard because you look at rocks for a long time and you will start to think it is something else that is not rigid. We were tied with ropes and lashes to hold the rope. And if you fall off the rock you fall really abruptly and you will die! If we really die I bet the teacher will be inexplicable to explain to our parents.

Discussion- Evelyn

This week we discussed about who you think Zero’s mom is a lot of people think it is the madam Zeroni’s son or grand son and I think so too. We also discussed why the Warden would want the suitcase. People in my group said that they think the suitcase has treasure in it and that the treasure is from Kate Barrow ( or Kissin Kate).

Connections- Hong Kai

Derrick think that he will be very is he didn’t have any parents. I think I will too.

Hong Kai think the smelly socks reminds him of raw fish but, smelly socks reminds me of my brother (Ethan).

Momoko thinks the yellow spotted lizard reminds her of the story of leeches Ms. Chagaris told us.

Melody.T think that the way Stanley won’t drink the water after Zero reminds her of her dad not eating after her grandpa. It reminds me of ladys first.

Dear  warden,

Why do you think I am so dumb? Do you think I even look dumb? Even though I don’t answer any questions, it doesn’t mean I am dumb! When you tested me of saying some words,  there was one word I got wrong, “Hat”. Stanley told me that I did great because, the  “C” sound makes the “Ch” voice!

Why does people think I am dumb? I just don’t answer those stupid questions people ask me! Also, Stanley is doing the right thing, I help him dig his hole, he teaches me how to read/write! Let me tell you the truth, Stanley came to this camp for nothing, it was me that made him got in this stupid digging holes thing!

So are you happy now, you think I am dumb? If I am dumb, how am I able to write this letter to you?  I will get revenge… }:)

Sincerely,

Hector Zeroni

Dear Zero’s mom,

Why did you left me in a park, and never came back to get me again? What was the problem to leave me, are you insane or controlled by someone!? You almost got me in trouble when someone asked me to eat something that looks weird, but other people seems to enjoy.

I am now in jail for stealing shoes that was suppose to be donated to the homeless shelters, it was your fault that got me in here! You didn’t even teach me about manners or anything, everything you say to me is: “Stay here and I will come back to get you later…”

I miss you a lot and I wish you can come and get me in camp green lake (the worst camp I have ever been to, even though this is the only camp i’ve been to).  Now in this lake, my friend Stanley teaches me how to read and write while others just laugh at me, they think that I don’t have a brain. For example, I just don’t want to respond to their stupid questions people are asking me!

P.S. If you are still alive, please write a letter back to me…

Sincerely,

Hector Zeroni (Zero is my name in this camp)

 Comment– I like how when Derrick wrote to the Warden he used his real name.
