Bronz e Silve r Go ld

Look at page 1. The only trees are two old oaks on the eastern edge of the "lake". Why is the word lake written in inverted commas? The word "lake" is written in inverted commas because although it is known as Camp Green Lake, there is no longer a lake there. It is in the middle of the desert and is an extremely dry and barren area therefore it shouldn't really be referred to as a lake.

Look at page 10. Find the quote that IMPLIES that Camp Green Lake is not what Stanley expected. "He couldn't see a lake. And hardly anything was green."

Look at page 37. What does the word 'enviously' mean and why has Stanley used it? Envious is another way to say jealous/resentful or you want what someone else has. Stanley uses this word when Zero has finished digging his hole because he wishes that he had finished his hole.
