Short Answer:

Stanley Yelnats IV is an overweight teenager from a poor family whose future fortune depends on his inventor father discovering the secret of curing foot odor. 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.

There you go! Hope that helped! :)

Which of the following best describes how the author develops the connection between success and failure in the article?
likoan [24]

Most of us don’t fail or succeed in the glare of a national spotlight, much less do it thousands of times, with analysts endlessly critiquing every move. Perhaps that’s why people love sports: they provide a black and white analogy for the gray backdrop of life. The ball is in or it’s out, the basket is made or missed, the game is won or lost. Watching our favorite stars pull through when the chips are down inspires us to do the same in our own lives. And no one has inspired more sports fans, young and old alike, than Michael Jorda.The story of Michael Jordan not making his high school team has been told and retold, but continues to inspire with each retelling. In 1978, sophomore Michael Jordan tried out for the varsity basketball team at Laney High School. When the list was posted, Jordan’s name wasn’t on it. Instead, he was asked to play on the junior varsity team.

The reasoning behind the choice wasn’t that Jordan didn’t have enough talent or hadn’t already distinguished himself as an outstanding basketball player. Rather, it came down to seniority, size, and a strategic decision: The varsity team already had eleven seniors and three juniors. That left space for only one more player, and the coaches chose another sophomore, Jordan’s friend Leroy Smith. Smith was not as good as Jordan but he added size to the team, as he was 6’6” compared to Jordan’s diminutive 5’10”. What’s more, the coaches knew that if Jordan had been chosen for the varsity team, he would play only when needed as a substitute for the more senior varsity players. On the junior varsity team he would get more playing time and a chance to truly develop.It was a perfectly logical choice for the coaches to assign Jordan to the junior varsity team for his sophomore year. But 15-year-old Jordan was devastated when the list was posted without his name. In his mind, it was the ultimate defeat, the ultimate failure. “I went to my room and I closed the door and I cried. For a while I couldn’t stop. Even though there was no one else home at the time, I kept the door shut. It was important to me that no one hear me or see me.” Jordan was heartbroken and ready to give up the sport altogether until his mother convinced him otherwise.

I am sorry for being late 2 day but I hope it helps :)
