1. I think we are still reading this book because it must have an important message or easy for the readers to relate to. I believe what gives it its longevity is that, in a way, it’s a work of art and is very remarkable.

Perusing a book resemble undertaking an investigation: we search over passages and pages, connecting bits of plot and character together to manufacture a rational, convincing photo of a total world. When we come to the end of a book and snap shutter the cover, we often feel satisfied that our investigation is over. Our questions have been answered, and the “case” is closed. But the book that truly effects us—whether thrillers, mysteries, or stories of unrequited love--often don’t give us a complete sense of closure. They raise questions that linger long after the last page.

With rapid changes in the society and scientific advancement of human race over the decades, the necessity and importance of reading has increased remarkably. It has become a pivotal skill a person should learn to be successful. However, the cultivation of reading as a hobby is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. As far as I am concerned, the growth of mental interests for reading is a long process, but that is worthwhile because reading has been a vital aid to my emotional and spiritual growth.

It does not take long for Stanley to realize there is more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this humorous and child friendly book, that will leave you speechless.

To start off, one of my favorite quotes in the story would be,”This is Theodore Johnson,” (Sachar, 2). I know you may be thinking,”What’s so significant about this quote? Thing is, in Holes, everyone called him Armpit. We never actually knew what his real name was, but now we do. You might be curious about his nickname Armpit, where did that come from? Well one day at Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correction Center, Theodore aka Armpit, got stung by a scorpion and the pain gradually traveled up through his body and stayed at his armpit.

The woods, the smoke hole and the barn offer hideouts from Mr. Starnes where the friends can smoke, drink and plan pranks (101-103). The freedom and lack of supervision that Pudge and his friends enjoy seems at times unrealistic. It seems unlikely that underage boys and girls would be allowed to spend so much time together alone and unsupervised (126, 128, 131). The trailer park (91) where the Colonel grew up helps to explain his hatred of the weekday warriors (13), the rich, spoiled students who attend Culver Creek. The setting of the Deep South does not seem particularly critical to the story. The story could have been set almost anywhere in rural America where lakes and woods can be

Dana Fitz Gale noted, “Big Jim’s always saying how a lake this size could hide all sorts of things”(23). There are many hidden mysteries out there in the world waiting to be discovered some of them could be good while others be the total opposite. In the story, the setting is set to be a lake in which our character named Jimmy will have to decide whether to be brave or a coward. In order to achieve his goal, he will have to face his fears while also breaking out his ordinary life style to find the answers he is looking for. Jimmy depict the curiosity of a smart kid searching for some sustainable answers. We explored how Jimmy character changes throughout the story “Monsters of the Deep”.
