How Does Stanley Change In Holes

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

On page 13, Stanley is described fully, using stage directions. You can tell by the length of his description that Stanley is quite a complex character. The start of the stage directions read ‘Stanley throws the screen door open’, the verb ‘throw’ is very strong and follows the theme of men overpowering women which contextually fits in with the time period in which the play was written.

The way this theme contributes to Stanley destroying Blanches’ mental health is that his necessity for reality intrudes on Blanches’ desperate attempt at surviving illusions. Stanley is ‘simple, straightforward and honest’ (S2:pg.137*) and incapable of understanding Blanches’ delicate

In The book Holes Stanley is sent to a camp because he stole a pair of famous baseball cleats. In the camp Stanley now has do dig up hole for 18 months. “Never gave up on looking for zero” this is a quote in the book this represents hope because he is not gonna stop looking for zero.

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

Scene 8 Stanley justifies his

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.”

Unlike Blanche, Stanley confronts reality and challenge humankind. Stanley serves as a juxtaposition of blanches character and represents the new society of a growing acknowledgement of the lack authenticity of life. Ironically, he is presented as the most animalistic character suggesting that humankind cannot bear reality, it is only those who are presented with the most poignant Darwinian strength that succeed. Blanche describes how there is something ‘not quite at the stage of humanity’, which could be why Stanley appears to be the least vulnerable to the realities of

Or he breaks dishes or strikes his wife. He is the man of physical action. Even the symbols connected with Stanley support his brutal, animal-like approach to life. In the first scene, he is seen bringing home the raw meat.

Zero decides to run away because one of the counselors troubles him a lot. Stanley was confused and didn't know if Zero was still alive , but he still went to go find him . Due to this incident, Stanley changed internally and realized what it meant to be brave, be compassion for the weak , and be self confidence . Stanley learnt what it meant to be brave because he went after Zero in the desert knowing that there was no water or food . He also knew that he would die out there because on page 5, Mr .

Stanley decided to assist Zero with learning to read and write. He felt guilty because Zero was upset he wouldn’t teach him (Sachar 96). Stanley realized he could make a deal with him. The deal was to dig the majority of Stanley’s hole as long as he was being taught the alphabet and learning to read. Accepting that deal changed him.

1.First of all, Stanley Yelnats is a brave, hopeful, and caring person. He is a hard worker and is as kind as can be.

Now let’s move on to the reasons he’s extroverted. First reason is, “ ‘ I’ll try to teach you if you want.’ “ ( Sachar, 96) So this shows that Stanley is willing to talk to zero and teach him. Which most introverted people, when asked would make up an excuse. Another reason is, “ ‘ No, that’s not right.’ “ ( Sachar, 117) Now this shows that Stanley is willing to talk and stand up for himself. Like in this instance if this was when he first came he would’ve said nothing and let them push him over like an introverted person would do. Another reason is,’ “Why can’t I dig my own hole, but still teach Zero to read?’ “ ( Sachar, 137) Now then, this sentence shows Stanley is willing to speak up his mind. Also it shows he’s not afraid to speak up like an introverted person. Now Stanley has become extroverted because he speaks up for his opinion and is willing to teach someone. Next we have the

Stanley from Holes is under a curse so now he haves to attend a camp for bad boys. According to Mr.Sir Camp Green Lake helps kids build character and building character makes you mature.

Camp Green Lake is a dried up wasteland for bad boys. Stanley gets accused for stealing shoes, when he really didn´t. Now Stanley´s stuck in camp.
