What happened to Mr. Pendanski? (Character Analysis)

What the hell is going on with you?

Mr. Pendanski is the responsible teacher of Group D. I want to analyse his character at three different parts of the book: In the very beginning, in the middle of the story and at the end. As Stanley first came to the camp, he helped him to meet the others and he showed Stanley what to do. After digging holes the whole day, in the free hours they have, he askes them what they are planning for the future. He reminds them that they are going to have a new life after the camp. That is kind of a therapy I think. X-Ray calls him "Mom". "You can call me mom, if you want to."[p. 36] he says to X-Ray, in a teasing way. In my opinion, that's because he is the only one that tries to protect them and he has the most closest Role to a mother. 

Villain Team

Somehow, he seems to chance in a while. He makes fun of Zero when they come to stop the fight between Stanley, Zero and the others. He makes fun of Zero, humiliates him by using opprobrious words. Mr. Pendanski becomes even more cruel than Mr. Sir or Warden. At the end of the book, we can him waiting for Stanley and Zero, who are surrounded by eleven-spotted-lizards, to die. It's hard to understand why, but whatever happens, it's certain that his character changes a lot. 

Surrounded by the lizards while everyone is waiting for them to die.
