Holes, by Luis Sachar, is a book that fits into the magic realism genre. Louis Sachar created both a book and movie for teens to establish a sense of adventure. To catch the reader or viewers eye, he created a play on words with a sense of humor throughout the book and movie. Some people may not pay attention, but the book differentiates from the movie. It also relates to some of the key points of the author's idea for the story.

At camp, the other boys in both the book and movie version of the story give Stanley a hard time. This is an evident similarity between the book and movie. The people that are in charge of the boys in the detention camp are not the nicest of people and they are very strict with the boys. They also make the boys dig a big hole everyday they are at the detention camp in both versions of the story. Another way the boys are treated the same in both the book and movie is in the end when the camp boss wants to leave Zero and Stanley out in the desert and not report they are missing. In both versions the boys run away and the boss does not want to do the right thing and report they are gone.

Have you ever been falsely accused of something you didn't do? Well, this happens in the realistic fiction book, Holes by Louis Sachar. I strongly believe that you should read this well developed book, for it has fascinating characters, the great message, and the astounding plot. The 14 year old and main protagonist of the story named Stanley Yelnats goes through a series of unfortunate events that leads him into an abusive camp. He is overweight, lonely in school, and gets bullied frequently. In the camp, the requirement every day is to dig a hole five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction. Because of the many kids in the camp, the landscape is full of holes, and looks dry and beat up. Stanley eventually finds out there is more

When forced to give up so much, the Joad family begins to question their faith. Several religions share the belief that water has the power to cleanse and purify oneself. When the Joad family arrives in California, all of the men bathe in a river, symbolizing their rebirth. They are purging themselves of the past and focusing on their future and their aspirations. When they submerge themselves in the water, all of their tribulations such as Granpa’s death and the loss of their farm, will be left behind in order to focus on what’s to come. The water also symbolizes a new start for the Joad family. Steinbeck writes, “He cupped his hands full of water and rubbed his face...dusty water ran out of his hair and streaked his neck” (284).

The Outsiders is a movie and a book written by S.E. Hinton. It takes place around the 1960’s with it’s main character named Ponyboy Curtis and his adventure with Johnny when he kills Bob. The two then go out of the city when they realized the police will be after them and hid in a church at the top of a hill in the country. Johnny decides later on to come back home, but a fire happens in the church with children inside. Both Johnny and Ponyboy go inside to save them, but Johnny is hurt badly while Ponyboy gets knocked out by Dally because of a fire that was on him. They were both taken to the hospital, but Johnny was the one who actually stayed. Later on, Johnny dies with Dally and Ponyboy with him. Dally goes crazy and soon kills himself by a cop and Ponyboy then writes a story of what happen which apparently is the book/movie. Though the book and the movie come from the same idea, they are both still very different.

“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home” (Hinton 1). Ponyboy lives his life as a greaser with his gang. So, one day, Johnny and Ponyboy encountered Socs, and out of self defense, Johnny kills one. Without second thought they run to the country and find the serenity of the old abandoned church building. After a week of living there, they decide to go get lunch and when they returned, the church was on fire with people surrounding it.

In the book that I chose named “Holes”, The Book and the Movie “Holes” has many differences between the two of them, one of the main differences is that in the book Stanley is just big chunky kid who seems to look like a bully type, but in the movie he is played by a character who is very skinny and seems to be a nerdy kid who gets pushed around and picked on way too much. One thing that does not get mentioned in the book is Mr.Sir background story, which in the book is told in great detail and tells you that he committed a crime in El Paso, Texas many years before.

They dig holes every day but, the adults say they are not looking for treasure. The warden and Mr.Sir give them exact measurements (how far to dig) and if they do find a treasure to give it to them. I believe that seems very

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.

Holes by Louis Sachar is a really interesting novel of crime, punishment and redemption. Stanley Yelnats the main character is unjustly sent to Camp Green Lake. His whole family, including himself, thinks it is the curse's fault, a curse that has been on his family for generations because his great, great grandfather stole a pig from a one-legged Gypsy. Camp Green Lake is a detention center for boys, where they build character by digging holes every day under the hot sun and every single hole must be five feet deep and five feet wide. During camp Stanley goes through many changes that helps him improve his character.

‘Holes’ is a novel written by Louis Sachar, published on the 20th of August 1998. The book tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy named Stanley Yelnats IV, who is cast out to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile boys camp, for a crime he did not commit. There he makes friends and overcomes adversities. In 2003, the novel was converted into a film which successfully portrayed the novel. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf as Stanley and Khelo Thomas as Hector Zeroni (Zero). The setting in the movie is portrayed accurately. Even though the movie is an effective adaptation of the book, there are some incorrect moments in the plot. For instance, the book tells us that Sam and Kate try to escape together, while the movie shows us that Sam is in the boat alone
