When Stanley first got to Camp Green Lake he was timid, apprehensive, and hesitant, but now he’s dauntless, sympathetic, and worthy.

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.”

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.

The two friends then talked for a while before trying to make it to Big Thumb a rock that they believed had water in it since Stanley’s great great grandfather said he survived on Big Thumb after being stranded in the desert.

For my book/movie report I picked the book Holes by Louis Sachar. The book is about a teenage boy named Stanley Yelnats. Stanley is overweight and gets bullied on in school. One day Stanley was walking home from school, and a pair of shoes got thrown off a bridge that Stanley was walking below and they hit him in the back of the head. Stanley liked the shoes so he picks them up and started running, but however, the shoes were reported stolen so the cops end up finding Stanley and they bring him home and he then ends up going to court.

One day he finds a gold lipstick tube with the initials K.B. inscribed on the side of it. As a result, The Warden of the camp forces them to dig around where he found it, which makes Stanley suspicious of what they’re here to look for. Overtime Stanley befriends Hector Zeroni or “Zero” and teaches him to read and write. One day, Hector runs away into the desert after the staff humiliates him and Stanley chases after him three days later. Once Stanley finds Zero dehydrated under an old flipped over boat, he convinces him to walk towards the mountain that looked like a hand giving a thumbs up. Once at the base of the mountain, Zero is too weak and dehydrated to move on so Stanley carried him up, even though he’s still overweight and dehydrated. They eventually reach the top where they discover water and an onion field. They eat and rest on onions for a week before deciding to return to camp to look for what the Warden desired. They dig and dig until they eventually find the treasure chest with Stanley’s name on it, or the fortune that kissin Kate stole from his great grandfather and buried. Then, it’s revealed that the Wardens ancestors, the Walkers, have been looking for the treasure Kate Barlow hid for generations which is why she

Holes, by Louis Sachar is about a young boy named Stanley Yelnats who is underneath a curse. He has been under a curse because of his great- great -no good -dirty-rotten -grandfather. Stanley has been sent to Camp Green Lake which is a camp for delinquents to “build character.” There is no lake. It is a desert.

In the novel and film ‘Holes’ written by Sachar and directed by Andrew Davis, there is a scene where, after Stanley discoverers Zero is in a flipped over boat the two boys decided to find refuge on god’s thumb by climbing the mountain. This scene in the novel and film have both differences and similarities. The characters involved in this scene are only Zero and Stanley as the scene occurs after the two had run away from Camp Green Lake. The main events that occurs in this scene is that the two boys reach the edge of the dried lake and decide to climb the mountain. Both scenes are relatively similar in length, with the movie version being slightly shorter once the boys reach the top of the mountain.

For starters, Stanley’s environment is not a great place to be in. He is living in a hot and dry environment called Camp Green Lake that has no lake. This camp also has deadly animals, for example, the yellow-spotted lizard. This lizard is deadly that if it bites you, you either die a slow death or die instantly.
