Unfortunately, Stanley drives into a hole, causing the whole truck to be stuck. Stanley runs away from Camp Green Lake in search of Zero. Stanley finds Zero and they go to “Big Thumb”.

But Stanley changes in Camp Green Lake when he and Zero have a deal.In the middle of the novel Stanley and Zero become friends Stanley becomes a better person by being concerned about Zero and supporting each other and using teamwork to get to their goal.

The novel begins with Stanley being wrongly accused of stealing a pair of sneakers owned by a famous baseball player. Due to his adversity, Stanley is sent to a juvenile detention facility ironically named Camp Green Lake. This camp resides in the middle of a desert, and is composed of disobedient kid who are forced to dig holes to“build character”. Stanley possess several Christlike traits, such as: his wounded and blistered hands from digging so many holes, the agony he possessed from dehydration and all of the physical labor he was subjected to, Stanley’s optimistic and self sacrificing character who risked death to save his friend Zero, Stanley’s patient and cordialness with other kids, (this trait is especially displayed when he is teaching his friend Zero to read) Stanley’s kindheartedly when he shared his sparing amounts of food and water with Zero, Stanley use of humble transportation due to his family's reduced budget, Stanley was last seen with the thieving kids of the camp and the thieving camp administrators, and finally,when Stanley returned to the camp, full of kids who committed several crimes and freed them from their grueling jobs of digging holes. In conclusion, characters, such as Stanley Yelnats IV are paralleled to Jesus Christ to exemplify their suffering, hopefulness, and other divine character

Jacks stumble (suddenly t) upon a group of people. They are dressed in strange gray suits. Some are digging in dark, watery soil. The others are (immediately t) placing the samples into a machine. They watch from the safety of a large group of trees whose leaves have turned a dark orange. They wait patiently for the group to disappear. It’s been “15, 20, no 30 minute’s” states Kate. They are still digging around in the soil. The digging goes on for hours. Kate and Mr. Jacks direct their attention to the diggers. They are both wondering what they could possibly be digging for in the watery

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,

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.

Stanley jumped up and grabbed his frail bag he shoved the file into it, crushing the other contents. He had to brake his dad out. He had spent 4 soliant years, trying to discover the location his father. Everything was here EVERYTHING .

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you (Fred Divito). Stanley had many challenges to face at Camp Green Lake. In the novel Holes, Stanley becomes from a shy, poor person to a rich and brave person.

After all this happened at Stanley’s years at school, Stanley got arrested and got sent to Camp Green Lake where he had to dig holes, which he was very weak which made it difficult. “He tried to jam [the shovel] into the earth, but the blade banged against the ground and bounced off without making a dent” (page 26). When you jam a shovel into the earth, something has to come out. Stanley did this, but he did not even leave a dent in the earth, which shows he is weak and not that good of a digger. After going to camp and digging many holes, he met a boy named, Hector Zeroni (Zero), and he slowly had a friend relationship with Zero.

The two friends then talked for a while before trying to make it to Big Thumb a rock that they believed had water in it since Stanley’s great great grandfather said he survived on Big Thumb after being stranded in the desert. After a long climb and walk Zero then goes unconscious until Stanley was able to find wild onions and water in a hole in the mountain, and when Stanley found this hole Zero started to wake up and reagin his energy. A week passed and Stanley stayed at Big Thumb with Zero regaining their strength until they get an idea to go back to camp and look for the treasure that the Warden was looking for. When they arrived at the camp Stanley spotted the hole where he first found the gold tube. Stanley started digging downward after finding nothing he then digs in the hole to make it wider where he then finds a briefcase. After a short problem with how to get the briefcase out of the hole without causing a cave in. When they figured what to do the Warden,Mr.Pendanski, and Mr.Sir were standing their with a flashlight and

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.”

At the beginning, of Holes Stanley was not caring. Stanley says,¨He needs to save his energy for the people that count ( Sachar 82 ).¨ Zero does not know how to read or write, so he needs help and Stanley is his only friend. Stanley only cares about himself ( Sachar 80 ). He only hangs out with the ¨cool¨ kids, yet Zero can not be in the group because he is ¨nothing.¨ Stanley

Life at Camp Green Lake is hard we must dig a hole 5 feet wide and 5 feed deep every day in the hot blazing sun. I don’t mind digging holes. I made a good friend his name is Stanley Yelnats I help him by digging his hole and he is helping me to read, it works out great he got sent to camp Green Lake

Stanley acts irresponsible when Sachar says, “ The shovel felt heavy on Stanley’s hands. He tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged against the ground and bounced off without a dent.” (Sachar 27). Stanley doesn’t seem to be very good at digging holes, because he got tired of digging a hole the day he started. When Stanley moves to Camp Green Lake, He does’nt show bravery for doing his job.

Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like rich kids do. When Stanley was younger he used to play with stuffed animals, and pretend the animals were at camp. Camp Fun and Games he called it. Sometimes he'd have them play soccer with a marble. Other times they'd run an obstacle course, or go bungee jumping off a table, tied to broken rubber bands. Now Stanley tried to pretend he was going to Camp Fun and Games. Maybe he'd make some friends, he thought. At least he'd get to swim in the
