Part 3/8:
Upon arrival, Stanley meets Mr. Sir, the camp’s strict manager. He is warned about the dangers of the camp, including venomous reptiles and the futility of escape attempts due to the desolate conditions. Camp life is marked by daily digging tasks, where boys are expected to dig five feet deep and wide holes, ostensibly to "build character." However, the reality of the camp begins to unfold, layered with themes of survival, friendship, and the weight of family curses.
