During a group discussion about the book Holes, Charlie voices the opinion that, "Stanley’s bad luck is the reason he ends up at Camp Green Lake.” Lee, another participant in the group, is prepared to respond to Charlie’s comment.
Which response could Lee give to best share his full viewpoint?
“Hopefully, Stanley will learn many valuable lessons during his time at Camp Green Lake.”
“I agree because Stanley just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
“Some people just seem to have more bad luck than others.”
“Personally, I do not believe in either good or bad luck.”
The best response that Lee could give to share his full viewpoint would be: "Some people just seem to have more bad luck than others."
To give context to his response, Lee could explain that in the book Holes, Stanley's bad luck leads to him being wrongly accused and sent to Camp Green Lake. Lee could further elaborate on how Stanley's series of unfortunate events, such as being hit by a pair of stolen sneakers, played a role in his placement at the camp. By stating that some people just seem to have more bad luck than others, Lee is acknowledging the role that luck and circumstances can play in an individual's life.
