Cabin 4 Sunshine Lake Camp Analysis
Ever since Alex arrived at cabin 4 at Sunshine Lake Camp, there was at least one issue every day. Alex was a natural trouble maker and since his arrival at camp it was clear he didn’t manage well with other people. In cabin 4, David, Matt, Mark, and Spencer had been getting along just fine. The counselors, Jack and John, liked their campers, until Alex came. On the second day of camp tension grew between Alex and David especially. Alex was always looking for a way to bother or annoy David and David was willing to retaliate. All the campers and counselors were getting tired of his terrible behavior.
A week passed and Alex had gotten in trouble three times: for stealing Matt’s candy and food from his stash, for breaking the Tetherball pole and …show more content…
rope, and for talking back to his counselors.
“I didn’t say anything wrong!” Alex exclaimed.
“Yes, you did, you called his childhood a disgrace and a waste.” Kiki explained.
“If you do something wrong one more time I’m gonna call your parents to come pick you up.”
“Fine” Alex stormed out of the office.
The next day, after coming back from the trip to Islands of Adventure, David was putting his money back in his drawer and noticed Alex was watching him.
“What are you looking at?” David said in a nasty tone.
“Nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Alex answered while walking outside of the cabin.
When David left the cabin, Alex walked back inside and stole David’s money. No one saw him do it, but he knew David would notice. Alex went to the basketball courts and tried to think of a plan. His great idea was he was going to say he won a bet against another camper and that’s how he obtained the $50. Three days later, when David noticed the money was missing, he didn’t need to ask to know it was Alex.
“He took my money!” David screamed as loud as he could so everyone could hear him.
“What are you talking about?” Alex answered.
“How did you acquire those $50 you said you were going to buy food with?” David inquired.
“I won a bet against Scotty. In basketball. He bet $50 that he would beat me but I won.” Alex responded. “You can go ask him if you
want.”
“I will.” David said full of rage.
David stormed out of his cabin and walked at a fast pace toward Scotty’s cabin.
“Yo Scotty!” David yelled.
“Yeah?” Scotty answered, surprised from his bed.
“Did you lose a bet against Alex in basketball?” David asked still steaming.
“No, why?” Scotty questioned in a curious tone.
“I’ll tell you later.” David stated as he walked out of Scotty’s cabin and ran to his.
On the way to his cabin David saw Alex walking around looking worried and suspicious. David walked up to him purposefully and screamed: “A bet right?! With Scotty?!”
David approached his face and punched him right on his jaw. Alex stumbled and stood back up. David tackled him to the ground and punched him twice in the ribs. He furiously ripped the money out of Alex’s hand and walked away.
“It was about time someone did that.” Matt said from the Tetherball pole. Matt followed David to the cabin and told Jack and John about what happened. They gathered David and Alex and questioned them about what happened.
“He stole my money.” David answered in a more calm voice “So I gave him what he deserved, what we all wanted to do.”
“Is that true?” Jack asked Alex. He didn’t answer, instead he stood up and walked to his bed.
“Leave us alone with him for a minute.” John told David.
“Ok, but don’t believe anything he says. If you think I’m lying you can ask Matt, he saw the fight happen.” David left the cabin and started pacing around the camp. Twenty minutes later, John told him to go to the office and that Kiki and Alex were already there.
“I am aware that there has been an issue between you guys, what happened?” Kiki asked both of them.
“You already know, stop acting like you don’t.” Alex answered in an angry tone while looking down at his feet.
“I already spoke to your parents and they are on their way to pick you up. We do not tolerate this type of behavior at our camp. And as for you, David, you cannot do something about an issue without telling an adult first.”
“I’m sorry, you’re right.” David said.
“I never liked this camp anyways!” Alex screamed and walked out of the office.
“I’m gonna go too, I don’t want to miss archery and soccer.” David told Kiki as he walked back to his cabin.
