I’ve just finished
the 30th chapter. There is an aggressive character called Zigzag. Stanley and
Zero(Hector) gets into a fight with him. That fight causes the authorities of
the camp learn about Zero’s helping Stanley by digging his holes for his friend
and Stanley’s teaching him to read and write. They make fun of Hector, tell
that he is an idiot and have no ability to learn. After Mr.Pedanski says “He is
so stupid, he doesn’t even know he is stupid.” Zero grabs a shovel and hits
Mr.Pedanski with it. Then he runs away from the camp.
I think this is a
turning point, because Stanley will not let Zero be alone and want to do something
for him. He will begin to question the logic of the camp. Although other kids are
neither seem to be interested nor connected with Zero, they also will be worried
about the upcoming events. Stanley can talk to them and convince them to strike
against authorities. If they act together, they can overcome the obstacles and
find Zero. On the other hand, if the majority of the kids manages to escape,
the authorities will gone mad and use yellow spotted lizards against the kids. (There
have been quite many references to those lizards’ deathly poison throughout the
book. So I think something important is going to happen about them.) The struggle
between the kids and the authorities, how they are going to attempt escaping
and if they are going to find out about the real purpose of the camp or not
will be important issues from now on. 
But I believe that
there will be a happy ending, because good always wins at the end. I really am
very curious about Caveman and Zero’s upcoming adventures.
