Book Review Of The BookHoles, By Louis Sachar

“I’ll teach you how to write if you want.” pg. 96 This quote shows that Stanley is willing to teach Zero after he digs his hole for him, and feels he should do something for him. “I just reached into the glass and took them.” pg. 184 “I was walking home when the sneakers fell from the sky.” pg. 23 Zero changed Stanley's life because he took the shoes from the homeless shelter and threw them over the overpass it hit Stanley causing the cops to think he stole them. When he went to Camp Green Lake, a lot of parts in his life changed. His family's fortune and the curse that has been with his family for centuries was removed too. This all happened because of Hector Zeroni (Zero). Stanley changes a lot in the novel, but how he is, in the end, is a whole lot different from the

Everyone knows it's best not to talk back to the Warden. That is everyone, except for Stanley, “ Excuse me?” said the Warden. “All it matter is that the hole get’s dug, so does it matter who digs it” said Stanley. This is what he said when he was confronting the Warden to protect himself and Zero. Zero was digging Stanley hole as a part of a deal, but Stanley and Zero both knew that they should be digging their own hole. They knew what the did was wrong but they were remaining loyal to each other. Before Stanley and Zero became great friends Stanley learned something about Zero. Zer was not able to read or write. Stanley took that opportunity as a chance to care for Zero. “ I can teach you to read if you want.” This shows that Stanley cared for Zero he couldn't do anything else for him so he could at least help him to read and write. After Zero got in trouble, He ran away. Stanley knew he just had to do something for his friend “He ran to go find Zero” This shows how loyal Stanley is. Stanley could have just stayed back at camp but he cared so much about Zero that he risked his life to go see if he was ok. Zero helped stanley become a better person from what he was before. There was more to follow their

In Holes Stanley is around 13-14 years old. He was accused of stealing a pair of shoes, and was sent to camp green lake, a camp for boys to dig holes as a punishment. While he was there he met other boys, like Zero, that he later became friends with. “You may have done some bad things, but that doesn't make you a bad kid.”

In the film, although nobody is concerned about Stanley accident except for Zero when quid angrily accidentally hits Stanley with his shovel. It is because boys in camp D didn’t accept Stanley as a member as their group. Later on, all boys become friends, they work together to help Stanley steals Mr. Sir’s water truck in order to run away to seek Zero. Finally, Stanley only remember their help and tolerate their indifference. He sincerely invited all his friends in camp D to participates Zero and his party unlike the original book states that: “ there was a small party at Yelnats house. Except for Stanley and Hector, everyone there was adult.”(231) Through his change, reviewers can feel precious friendship that people can forgive others when they are friends.

The author has written the book Holes in third person omniscient. “Stanley yelnats was the only one on the bus” (pg 6). The author’s feelings direct more for the kids at the camp then for the warden and mr.sir. The way the author is telling the feeling’s of stanley states that he is for stanley and the other kids.

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse, because of his no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather and has since followed many generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been sent to a boys’ only detention center, called Camp Green Lake. Where they are supposedly building character by spending all day in the hot sun digging holes, every day they dig holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep.

The story starts with a boy called Stanley Yelnats IV he is a 14 years old boy. One day he has got a pair of athletic shoes from the sky and the police says that he has steal this pair of shoes, because the shoes owner was a famous basketball player. Then Stanley has sent to the camp green lake, when he arrived at the camp green lake he need to dig holes. Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys. If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun,it will turn him into a good boy.

Does Stanley’s friendship with Zero help him change throughout the novel? Stanley and Zero went through a lot of things together. They are close friends. Stanley changes within the book because of how great friends him and Zero are. Before his time at Camp Green Lake and at the beginning, Stanley is looked down on by others.

While Stanley is at camp he learns to be perceptive and how to persevere. When he first arrives, he quickly learns what he needs to do to survive; he follows the majority of the rules and tries not to get on Mr Sir or the Wardens bad side. When he finds out how hard digging a massive hole every day is, he has to preserve and be persistent to make sure everything gets done and he does not get in trouble. He also doesn’t give up one Zero when he is teaching him to read and he doesn’t understand, he also helps him out when they have to climb the gods thumb, Stanley gives him and piggy back ride because zero popped a massive blister and he is also very dehydrated which made it very difficult to walk. We know this because Stanley states

I remember like it was yesterday, my cousin and I was riding in the car with my uncle on our way to the movies, extremely excited to see the newest Disney movie, Holes. We had been watching previews and trailers for weeks, and it turned out to be just as good as we had imagined. It ended up being one of my favorite films of all time. I watched it multiple times when it started to come on television. I bought the DVD and then when I was 10 or 11 in the 5th grade I discovered there was a book. I always had problems when it came to reading, and in 5th grade, all the teachers came together and presented to the entire 5th grade class a time during the day called DEAR. DEAR is an acronym that stands for “Drop Everything and Read”. I had problems when it came to reading. Not because it was hard, but because I was lazy.

Holes by Louis Sachar. Holes is a book about a kid named Stanley Yelnats who has been mistaken for a crime he didn't commit and is sent to a camp called Camp Green Lake where he must dig 1 hole a day. The main part of the story takes place in Camp Green Lake most likely in the present day. The setting is believable because Camp Green Lake is a kids juvenile camp. Stanley Yelnats is the main character in the story. He survived by climbing to the top of a thumb shaped mountain. Zero is another camper that Stanley meets at the camp he has never learned how to read and has suffered many hardships in his life. X-ray is the leader of the boys group at Camp Green Lake he can't see well but he manages the boys. One of the biggest themes in the book

Stanley also helps Zero not only grow at Camp Green Lake but he also saves his life. Early in the novel, Sacher mentions that the curse of the Yelnats may be broken when a Yelnats carries a Zeroni up God’s Thumb and Stanley did just that. When the author writes “Zero fell over his right shoulder”(Sachar 170), this shows Stanley is breaking the curse as he helps Zero get to
