Corection of a summary

Beitrag von Jefferson1992 »

Hello, could you correct it plz Thank you Its about the book holes

Chapter 6 of the book “Holes”, which was written by Louis Sachar and published by Cornelsen 1998, is about the bad conditions of the camp and chapter 7 is about the first working day of Stanley.
He takes a cold and quick shower. There is no warm water and each boy is allowed only four minutes under the water, which then turns off automatically. A Camper asks him, why he is there in the camp. Stanley tells him that he stole sneakers from the famous baseball player Clyde “Sweet Feet” Livingston. While he was walking, a pair of shoes had fallen from the sky and hit him on the head. Because he was running, a police car pulled him over and took the shoes. He was convinced of stealing the sneakers and sent to Camp Green Lake.

He has to get up very early at the next morning. He eats lukewarm cereals and drinks orange juice. Then he has to dig his first hole. He has a hard time to dig it, because the ground is hard and he quickly develops blisters on his hands. When he finds something special in a hole, he has to report it to Mr. Sir or Mr. Pendansky and when the Warden likes it, he can stop working and has a free day. During he is digging, Magnet comes to him and encourages him.
There is also written about the family history. Stanley´s great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats was fiteen years old, when he fell in love with Myra Menke. But Elya cannot offer Myra´s family a pig like Igor can, so he goes to visit his friend Madame Zeroni. She gives Elya one small pig and teaches him a song. Elya has to go to a mountain where there is a stream with water that runs uphill and there he has to sing the song and the pig has to drink from the water. Then the pig will grow. Madame Zeroni wants him to sing the song to her on the mointain, otherwise she will put a curse on his family.

There is also is information about the family history. Stanley´s great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats was fifteen years old, when he fell in love with Myra Menke. But Elya could not offer Myra´s family a pig like Igor coulc, so he went to visit his friend Madame Zeroni. She gave Elya one small pig and taught him a song. Elya has to go to a mountain where there is a stream with water that runs uphill and there he has to sing the song and the pig has to drink from the water. Then the pig will grow. Madame Zeroni wanted him to sing the song to her on the mountain, otherwise she will put a curse on his family. Vergangenheistform, weil du von Stanley's Grossvater erzaehlst, der etwas in der Vergangenheit erlebt hat. Ich frage mich nur, was das mit der Geschichte zu tun hat? Vielleicht solltest du darauf ein bisschen naeher eingehen.
