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.

The protagonist in the short story named Scallen is renamed Dan Evans. Evans is now the owner of a drought-stricken ranch who volunteers to escort Ben Wade (Jim Kid) to the 3:10 train to Yuma in exchange for money to save his farm and family. Evans who was written by Leonard to be a man of order and law is recreated into a family oriented male figure. Two of Evan’s sons make appearances in the film which change the film’s theme of a morality standpoint to a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. In the beginning of the film, Wade takes the horses from Evans and his children as he is doing so Evans’ sons make impertinent retorts to Wade that their father could capture him and his team of outlaws. Later in the film when Wade is having dinner with the Evans family, Evans’ sons once again tell Wade that their father will be responsible for his incarceration. When Evans’ doesn’t know if he’ll survive taking Wade to the train he tells his wife that at least his sons will have a story to tell about their father’s bravery this is crucial to understanding that Evans is a family man. Evan’s sons become the focal point of his obsession to take Wade on the train to Yuma. Dan Evans is a man who wants to prove to himself and his children, a trait that was not apparent in the short story. In the film Jim kid is renamed Ben Wade. Jim Kid is probably an alias for the outlaw’s real name. One can assume Director Mangold gave Kid a name in order to create a bond between the audience and the character. The film lets the audience in on Wade’s attitude, personality, and desires. Wade is a charming man capable of using it to charm his sexual interest, married woman, and casually letting people know of his crimes. He behaves remarkably compliant when he is capture. He exhumes confidence that his friends will rescue him by staying calm through the

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.

Juan Nepomuceno Cortina was a man who was a rebel and a soldier who fought many battles that he believed was right for Mexicans in Texas and in Mexico.

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”.

In conclusion, characters, such as Stanley Yelnats IV are paralleled to Jesus Christ to exemplify their suffering, hopefulness, and other divine character

Throughout the story the protagonist is left nameless. This provides the reader with another question of identity. Without a name to attach to the character, we are left without an identity.

Héctor Lavoe revolutionized the Latin salsa boom of the 1970s. He was a man born to sing and his passion for music led him on a remarkable journey of attaining endless dreams. Born Héctor Juan Perez Martinez on September 30, 1946 in Ponce, Puerto Rico, he lived a life full of achievements, setbacks, and tragedy that made a way for his life long addiction with cocaine, marijuana, and heroine. His drive to succeed in the music industry started in his early childhood years and was triggered by his idolization of famous Latin singers of the 30s and 40s like Daniel Santos, Jesús Sánchez Erazo, and the

Nobody Owens is a character in the novel, “The Graveyard Book” by Neil Gaiman. In ‘The Graveyard book” a man named Jack enters a home in the night. He has a sharp knife and he uses it to kill the mother, the father, and the older sister who live there.

The narrator is not the only story character without a name. The narrator's parents are also unnamed. The unnamed are all individuals who fit within the black community in expected, responsible ways. Sonny and the other named characters, such as Creole and Isabel, all have names due to their deviance. Each of these characters don't quite fit into the normalcy embraced by the narrator. Creole, in particular, gains his name by providing a parental figure to Sonny. He usurps the place that otherwise would have been filled by Sonny's nameless father.

Julia T. Alvarez formerly said, "Everyone needs a strong sense of self. It is our base of operations for everything we do in life." A sense of self is one's awareness of oneself. The book Lucky in Love by Kasie West, and the poem, Identity by Julio Noboa Polanco best show the theme, sense of self. West and Noboa Polanco, use imagery in a similar fashion and use similes and symbolism in contrary fashion to display the journey to a sense of self that both the characters in the poem and novel take.

Gordie is the smart and sensible one of the group and devises a plan to go find the boy’s body. Some of the film techniques are short shot and long shot. A short short contains only one of the characters.

The most important phrase in “Identity” by Julio Noboa Polanco is “Tall, ugly weed” because it supports the character’s identity. The poem is about the character wanting to be a “tall, ugly, weed” rather than a beautiful flower. Pretty flowers are cramped and only allowed to do certain things, while weeds are rugged and do whatever he want to do.

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.”

Zero would dig Stanley's disciplinary holes, while Stanley would give Zero a basic education lesson each night in return. Further in the book, Zero decided to run away, and he ends up in a close-to-death situation. Stanley set out to find Zero and found him under an old boat with no water. Zero and Stanley then went on an adventure to find water. Love was shown in this sequence by both of the boys sticking together even through a rough

In Holes it indicates that Madame Zeroni is a one legged gypsy who helps Elya (Stanley’s great- great- grandfather). We also find out that Zero is Madame Zeroni’s descendant. This point is very significant as many do not realise this. In the past Elya goes to see Madame Zeroni: “Desperate Elya went to see Madame Zeroni an old Egyptian women.”
