Question for the discussion about 'Holes' week 11

Question 1(white hat): Who was Elya Yelnats? 

Question 2(yellow hat): on pages 19-20 one of the boys at the camp, Armpit throws Stanley to the ground just because he accidentally spoke to him by his real name, which is Theodore. What do you think makes Stanley always keep polite in situations like this, when everyone else is mean to him?

Question 3(black hat): Why do you think there is a camp in the middle of nowhere in Texas? Do you think it's just a coincidence that it was built there or do you think there's any specific reason why?

Question 4(red hat): On page 6, when Stanley sat on the bus on the way to the camp, how do you think he felt? Do you think he was worried? Scared? Excited?

Question 5(green hat): on page 51 Stanley found a fossil and tried giving it to Mr Pendanski to get the rest of the day off, but he just laughed and said the Warden wasn't interested in fossils. What do you think the Warden is actually looking for, what do you think he is interested in that might occur in the holes?
