I want to start this entry with summing up what has happened in the last few chapters. Firstly, we find out what
kind of a town Green Lake was 110 years ago and how the beautiful teacher
became the feared outlaw because of her love with the town’s onion seller. Back
in the camp, the Warden makes Zero get angry by forbidding him to learn how to read,
and he escapes from the camp. After four days, Stanley escapes, too, to find Zero
and try to survive with him. His only hope is the “God’s Thumb”.
In my opinion, the rest
of the story isn’t so difficult to forecast. We have already found out that
Zero is Hector Zeroni, who is probably the great-grandson of Madame Zeroni. I
guess, Elya’s great-great-grandson and Madame Zeroni’s great-grandson will
climb together to “God’s Thumb”, as Elya Yelnats calls it, where the water runs uphill,
the place, where Elya had to carry Madame Zeroni and where Sam’s onions grew.
They will likely drink from the water and survive. Stanley will sing the lullaby to Zero, which will cause the curse to end. I don’t have
an exact idea about what will happen to Camp Green Lake, but according to me, Stanley
will find the treasure of Kissin' Kate Barlow, for which the Warden was looking
and presumably, the camp will be closed for some reason.

Here is the lullaby which Stanley's mother used to sing him (and Elya had to sing it to Madame Zeroni):
But the place where he carried Madame Zeroni was in Latvia?!?
ReplyDeleteSo what? :P well, I didn't realize it but they might have some kind of connection. If there wasn't any connection why would the curse end?
