One character named Hector, or Zero, is a friend of Stanley in the camp that didn't know how to read or write before Stanley taught him. Later in the story, Zero explains how his mother left him when he was very young, and ever since, he hasn't been able to learn how to read or write. He continues telling Stanley of how he lived on his own, without any guardians. Stanley Yelnats, another character went from a bullied kid because of his looks, to someone who made strong bonds and trusts with new friends. Stanley is strong, and would take any challenge to save his friends. This is shown when Stanley and Zero ran from the camp, and tried to get to a source of water on a mountain. Zero passes out, and Stanley "took hold of Zero's forearms and pulled him upright... He stood up, lifting Zero's worn-out body off the ground." Stanley later finds water, and quickly fed Zero the water. This shows how much Stanley cares about his friends, and how strong he is to save them. To sum up, a lot of the characters' backstories are very interesting, and explains a lot in the story. This is one reason why I believe you should read the book Holes.

George and Lennie are the main characters, which makes them most important to the book’s content. Their friendship and dream about having an own farm are most valuable for the story, since the plot is based on these factors. Crooks and Curley’s wife are on the other hand just as important as the previous characters, but they are more important for the linking between the book and The Great Depression than to the actual plot. These characters reflect how the society looked like in the past, which creates a perception of reality.

These characters are important, because they strengthen the book's action, link, message and
Many times during Yonah’s lifetime, he had faced dangers that could result in his death, but Yonah was very careful and smart and always managed to stay alive. The very first time Yonah was in real danger was the night his father died. That night, Yonah was woken up in the middle of the night and had to run away from his house and the people who were trying to kill him and his father. Back then, Yonah was still very young, innocent and unsure of what to do, but he followed his instincts and run as fast as he could until he reached the cave. That incident was only the first out of many times when Yonah’s life was put under danger. A lot of Yonah’s dangers were caused by natural causes such as the case when Yonah was hiding in the cave in Toledo and he needed water desperately. Yonah’s memory saved him and “he recalled that Meir had taught him to take a small pebble when there was no water, and suck on it to start the saliva flowing in his mouth” (53). The following day, “the moment came when Yonah knew that if he would stay longer in the cave he would die there” (54), so he left just in time to save himself.

These stories are often told to the people in narrative form, which are guidelines often referred to as laws, songs, genealogies, and a list from these authors that composed the Old Testaments. The pressing of set documentation is essential because it is the framework for the lives of God 's followers. The term “Old Testament” originated as a means to express spoken traditions and God 's creation of that particular era.
