Louis Sacher's Holes

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.”

Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? Have you ever had really bad luck? In Holes, by Louis Sachar, innocent Stanley Yelnats is sent to a juvenile delinquent camp as a punishment for “stealing shoes”. The theme of Holes is perseverance because in the story, Stanley escapes from the camp, takes a lot of risks, and rebels against Mr. Sir, the Warden, and Mr. Pendanski.

Louis sachar is the author of the book Holes. Camp green lake. In the vary late 1900s. He goes to the past a lot during this tory to talk about his great great great grandfather and how they are cursed because of him. Not really to me. The narrator of Holes seems reliable but often interjects dark humor or irony into the narration. Many statements are made which require the reader to make his or her own inferences about the subject matter. At times the narrator breaks with the omniscient narration to address the reader directly and pose questions about the events in the book. The power of fate to determine events; the benefits of friendship; the destructive nature of cruelty; the importance of history in everyday life.

“I don’t know if I know how to teach, but I’m not that worn out today. Since you dug a lot of my hole for me.”(Sachar 96) Since he doesn’t know how to teach he is still trying to help Zero. “No that’s not right.”(Sachar 117) Stanley is standing up for Zero with the rest of the boys. “I’m teaching him to read and write,” said Stanley “It’s sort of a trade,the hole still gets dug, so what does it matter who digs it?”(Sachar 137) By Stanley standing up for Zero in front of the Warden talking back to her is really good friendship. Stanley has changed a lot thus far in

When the shoes fell on Stanley it was the beginning of the breaking of the curse. I chose this because its one the most important parts of the story.

Holes by Louis Sachar. Holes is a book about a kid named Stanley Yelnats who has been mistaken for a crime he didn't commit and is sent to a camp called Camp Green Lake where he must dig 1 hole a day. The main part of the story takes place in Camp Green Lake most likely in the present day. The setting is believable because Camp Green Lake is a kids juvenile camp. Stanley Yelnats is the main character in the story. He survived by climbing to the top of a thumb shaped mountain. Zero is another camper that Stanley meets at the camp he has never learned how to read and has suffered many hardships in his life. X-ray is the leader of the boys group at Camp Green Lake he can't see well but he manages the boys. One of the biggest themes in the book

Stanley Yelnats never suspected his life to turn around by a pair a stinky shoes that feel from the sky, but that's just what happened. Stanley looks out through the bus window and in the corner of his eye he sees in the distance a gigantic crystal clear blue lake, big bushy peach trees, and a small home town, and in one blink… its was gone. Stanley is very shy, relaxed, and down in the dumps in the beginning of the novel holes. Stanley Yelnats will have a major change by the end of the the novel holes and not just physically.

Zero’s full name is Hector Zeroni which he only tells Stanley in the middle of the film. Zero is a Camper at camp Green Lake and he becomes friends with Stanley Yelnats (the main character). At camp Green Lake the boys are made to dig holes to “build character” but the real reason why is so that they help the Warden find Kate Barlow’s treasure. Zero is the fastest and best digger out of the boys and always finishes his hole first. Zero is quite smart but all the boys in the camp believe he isn’t. Stanley taught Zero how to read and write. Zero is the great-great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni, who put a curse on Stanley’s whole family. Zero and Stanley’s friendship was cemented when they ran away from Camp Green Lake and Stanley runs off to

In chapter 28 to 30 in novel Hole, by Louis Sachar, it start with the story of Kate Barlow who was coming back to Green Lake after twenty years later and she realized everything was changed. She decides to stay in the little cabin, but she was soon founded by Trout Walker and Linda Miller who were looking for Kate to steal her stuff. They torture her to know where she put her treasure but she died because of yellow-spotted lizard. From the chapter 29, the story came back to Stanley’s camp life and explained how the weather changed worse than before. Furthermore, other boys started to tease Stanley because they didn’t like Zero to dig Stanley’s hole, and finally they fight together. Zero tried to save Stanley from Zigzag but everyone treat Zero

Stanley has the characteristics of a caring and trusting guy. “Dear mom, today was my first day and i’ve already made friends.” (Sachar 46) This shows he cares about his mom and doesn’t want her to worry about him. “X-ray was right the second hole was the hardest.” (Sachar 49) Stanley will believe what X-ray says and trust him. This shows Stanley’s thoughts in the beginning of the novel Holes.

Once, zero ran away from the camp, which of course is a bad idea be-cause he ran away without any supplies. Of, course Stanley wouldn’t leave him alone in this scary desert and zero might die he didn’t take his supplies. So, Stanley went for look-ing for zero. When he find zero he find him really weak and sick. Then Stanley started to carry zero up to the mountain to save his life. They stayed up on the mountain for few days to gain some power. When they are on their way back to the camp, both Stanley and zero were thirsty, but neither of them wants to drink first, so they decide to drink at the same time. At this point, the author explained their friendship is growing stronger and showed how are they important to each other "When they

In the aftermath of Stanley’s improved development in a masculinized atmosphere, the heightened amount of masculinity that had generated in him had jeopardised his initially benevolent, virtuous and compassionate attributes. Nevertheless, through Stanley’s progressing in values of constructing a “bold” character, had threatened towards his behaviour for Zero’s amiable deeds. For instance, when Stanley is sent to the Warden’s cabin for allegedly stealing Mr Sir’s sunflower seeds whilst Zero digs Stanley’s hole because “you (he) didn’t steal the sunflower seeds” or the sneakers (Pg. 94), Stanley does not accomplish to express his gratitude towards Zero’s warm-hearted enterprise, due to his reduced level of courtesy that had generated in himself, which was directly the influence of him endorsing D-Tent boys disregardful actions. However, throughout time and simultaneously fate, he realises the authentic connotation of friendship by accepting unique individualities. The dark skinned, illiterate social castaway, Zero (Hector Zeroni) experiences the revealing of his fascinating nature through his invigorated companionship with Stanley, regardless of his unassertive deeds. For instance, when Zero is appearing to be concentrating on Stanley’s letter to his mother, Stanley

Stanley worked day after day in the hot sun digging holes for the warden but, he didn't realize how bad he needed to get out of there until Zero left. Which is why he sent out to find Zero. And this is also why he stole Mr. Sir’s pickup and ended up in a hole which made him have to try to find Zero on foot. Where they are able to then change the ways Camp Green Lake runs their camp. But this happened by having the warden and Mr.Sir arrested for their cruel ways of running a camp.

When Stanley arrives at the camp he kind of feels intimidated because of all the rough boys there. After accepting each other's differences they become friends then he meets Zero (his actual name in the story is Hector.) That’s what they call him because he doesn’t know how to read and he barely says anything. Yelnats feels bad about this, so with his free time he teaches Zero how to read little by little. Soon after becoming close friends
