How Does Stanley Change

When Zero dug Stanley’s hole, something changed he’d been sincere to others in his tent, even though they were being blunt to him. When he started teaching Zero.

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.

Stanleys almost instinctive primitiveness is a major part of his representation in the book and this behavior of his leads to all the ways he overpowers and

Chapter 9 focuses on Stanley's adjustment to life at Camp Green Lake, which isn't very pleasant. The boys have no recreation, since the "rec. hall," is really the "wreck room," where every piece of old equipment is broken. When Stanley comes into the room after digging his first hole, he trips over a kid he calls "The Lump." When "The Lump" moves threateningly toward Stanley,

In ‘Holes’ it is said that “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”. In what ways does Stanley Yelnats change and develop as a character during the course of the novel? Do you think the punishment the boys receive at Camp Green Lake is an effective way of preventing crime?

THen while in a new place, his curse gets in the way and makes things harder, an example of this is.when he finds the gold-looking tube. Stanley is constantly having to deal with problems that only manifest because of his bad luck. When he and Zero escape, and ultimately break the curse, Stanley starts to overcome everything that has troubled him. He quite literally overcomes his bad luck. Because, at the beginning everything goes wrong, the shoes, his great, great, grandfather's story,and even what happened to Zero. Then near the end it all resolves. Stanley is innocent, the curse is broken, and zero finds his

First of all in the book the story Stanley ends up at this rusty bad camp that is ran by a warden, and in the book he just starts there. Also, the next thing I will talk about is in the book the climate was much cooler it stated then in the movie. Thirdly, the plot of Holes is placed in different spots the movie is in Arizona, and the book was in Texas. Finally, I think that the movie was a lot more better than the book because I’m more of a guy who likes to see things. There are a few differences between the characters in the book and the movie I will tell you about.

In the movie it never shows Stanley being picked on or getting pushed around and bullied like it tells us in the book. One thing in the book and movie that are the same is that

Stanley’s actions are intense and mostly uncalled for, Stanley is heavily motivated by the past and

is true in the extreme for Stanley, he does what he wishes and disregards the consequences. It is not a motto he actually employs towards the remaining characters; thinking only of himself, he does not care if anyone else is "comfortable" or not. Through dialogue such as this, Williams asserts to the reader/audience the fact that Stanley inherently fails to take into account the repercussions his own requirements and desires have on others. He is in total control and the only person endowed with power; therefore the only person he takes into consideration - and the only person his wife is allowed to take

It is not always about what is on the outside but what is on the inside. He has always been loving and caring but through this rough time in his life it is shown a lot. He shows this side to his family and also his new friends. After Stanley was done taking the blame for the spilt sunflower seeds and zero digging Stanley’s hole for him, Stanley showed Zero he cared for him; he agreed to teach him to read. “I’ll try to teach you to read if you want,” Stanley offered. “I don’t know how to teach, but I’m not worn-out today, since you dug a lot of my hole.” (Sachar, 96.) Stanley was grateful for what Zero had done for him and wanted to repay the favor and help him out as well. When Stanley left for camp his mom gave him pen and paper so he could write her and tell her how it was going. By writing to his mom and telling her that he was okay, even though he lied about what he was doing he showed he cared for his parents. “Dear Mom and Dad, Camp is hard, but challenging. We’ve been running obstacle courses, and have to swim long distances on the lake. Tomorrow we learn” (Sachar, 81.) As the story comes to an end Stanley really cares about Zero and refuses to leave camp without him. He gets his lawyer to ask for files and after the Attorney General could not find his files they took Zero home with them. “C’mon Stanley,” said his lawyer. “Your parents are waiting.” Stanley stayed where he was.”

Initially, Stanley and Zero met at Camp Green Lake as young criminals that were sent off to improve their lives, but through the power of fate they created a strong and loyal friendship. Stanley was framed for stealing the shoes, and for Zero, he was caught committing another

Stanley is an extremely barbaric person who expresses his brutality in many ways. He is a

Have you ever thought twice about helping a friend but then you risk your life for him/her.Well Stanley Yelnats risked his life to help Zero´s .Stanley´s friendship with Zero changes him, because he goes from selfish and not teaching him, to going to selfless and going after Zero to help him.

A year later, his father remarried a woman from “hell” and she was one of the reasons why Stanley became destructive. She was selfish and only cared for her and her seven children. She physically and emotionally abused Stanley by severely beating him many times and blaming him for senseless things. She also neglected him and his two other siblings while she gave her children the best of everything with Stanley’s father money. For example, his stepmother would save food and feed her own children and let Stanley and his siblings
