I read the article on this today and was shocked that some one could do such a thing, it is outrageous people put their trust in teachers and TRUNG SON HUYNH not only tries to extort $70 000 from a girls family but strangles her after being denied it. I think this person should get life sentance in solitary. If this kind of thing keeps happening then students will be afraid to go to school.  

Firstly the children are suprised to find out that they have a Great Aunt Emma who is afraid of electricity and puts people in trances by saying “You remember me”. Later in the book the children start testing both Grinny’s credibillity and find out that she is not real she is an alien. Then one of them finds out that Grinny’s people are going to take over the world turning all humans into slaves and dervants. Then the children force Grinny to tell her people that earth is not acceptable for them to take over and force her and her people to return home. This book is a fantasy or science fiction and even though it is small is a great and gripping read. I thought this book was a great piece of literature   

Five years after the Camp Green Lake Incident Stanley and Zero have bought a mansion and have constructed a Juvenile detention centre in their backyard. Even though there is razor wire on the fences, some of the inhabitants never want to leave.

Stanley, to his father’s great joy, has funded the research for a way to recycle old sneakers. The boys have still got enough money to buy a small state even though they are throwing it around like water. Their mansion is 4 stories high with marble statues and stairs and floors even the toilet seats. The grounds are huge, almost as big as Camp Green Lake, with 4 Olympic sized pools several tennis courts and a baseball field. At the back of the estate there is a forest where there are huge castle like tree houses being constructed, with high-pressure water cannons for tree top warfare. Stanley regularly has his friends from camp over and some times they and their families stay for weeks on end. The adults chat and swim and play tennis while the kids go ballistic out in the grounds. Zero has a more secluded life and prefers to stay with his mother and her with him in a little room at the side of the mansion, catching up on what the other had missed while they had been separated. Altogether they have a great time living the way they had dreamed of, for as long as they can remember.     

‘Does the punishment fit the crime’? In Stanley’s case I think it doesn’t because a juvenile should not be forced to do heavy manual labour as a punishment. Stanley supposedly stole Clyde Livingstone’s shoes and as punishment was given the choice of going to jail or going to Camp Green lake Juvenile Detention Centre. Camp Green Lake is in the middle of the Texas wastelands and has the only water for at least a hundred miles around. There is no actual lake, only the hot sun and hard earth. Stanley is begin forced to dig a hole 5 feet wide and 5 feet deep every day for the 6 months that he is there.
I think the punishment is too hard on Stanley, and he should have been given Community Service instead.
I think that punishments should be related to the crime. For example, if some one steals from a shop they should have to either pay for damages or work there. If they hurt someone they should have to work for the person they hurt for a certain amount of time that is decided by the judge, or help to pay for the medical bills.
In conclusion I think the punishments should have both up and downsides so that they will be neither liked nor totally unbearable to the offender.
