What are your impressions of Stanley based on any two incidents from chapters 1-10? What are your thoughts and feelings for him in these two situations?

Stanley seems to be imaginative. When he is on his way to Camp Green Lake in chapter 3, he pretends he is going to a summer camp for rich kids. He recalls that when he was little, he used to play with his stuffed animals. Sachar writes, "Sometimes he'd have them play soccer with a marble" (7). Stanley would also have his stuffed animals bungee off a table with rubber bands. These games show that Stanley has a good imagination and is creative, and it is admirable that he is working so hard to pretend that the camp is going to be a good experience.
Stanley also seems to be realistic. For example, in chapter 5, he does not tell Mr. Pendanksi that he did not commit the crime of which he is accused. The author writes about Stanley, "It seemed pointless to try and tell his counselor that was innocent" (17). Stanley knows that no one will believe him if he says that he is innocent, so he doesn't bother. His sense of realism shows that he is intelligent and able to navigate the world around him, difficult though it is. Perhaps you can come up with additional impressions of Stanley based on the first ten chapters of the book.
