Cursed The Yelnats Family: Stanley's great-great-grandfather failed to keep his promise to a Stanley who was wrongly accused of stealing the shoes of baseball star Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston. he is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention center in the middle of the desert. After a long and lonely bus ride, Stanley arrives at the camp and meets the lazy and disgusting lord, one of the camp overseers.

Be careful with Warden Walker. Stanley also knows Mr. Pendanski, another sales manager. He is assigned to Shop D, where he befriends his fellow shopkeepers and slowly learns how to survive in the harsh countryside conditions.

Delicious food, limited shower time, uncomfortable bed. Stanley especially befriends a small but tough boy named Zero, who we later learn is Hector Zeroni, a descendant of the woman who cursed the Yelnats family. Stanley and the other boys dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide every day.

Explanation:

Which two pairs of lines best develop the themes of the passage? Where wilt thou go, my harassed heart— What thought, what scene
telo118 [61]

Answer:

- My hour of rest had fleeted by, And back came labor, bondage, care.

- Could I have lingered but an hour, It well had paid a week  of toil;

Explanation:

Study island explanation:

In the poem, the poet imagines that she escapes the demands of daily life through nature. Therefore, "Could I have lingered but an hour, / It well had paid a week of toil;" is a correct answer as it addresses the theme of nature as open and freeing. Despite the ideas of freedom conveyed by these lines, the poet goes on to say that she must return to her tasks and chores. Therefore, "My hour of rest had fleeted by, / And back came labor, bondage, care" is a correct answer as it addresses the theme that as freeing as nature is, the duty of work cannot be fully escaped.
