Why Is Stanley Yelnats An Innocent For His Crime

     Another key element in the story is the blue piano. Whenever this piano is heard playing during the play it signifies that Stanley has had a victory over Blanche in some way. The blue piano also signifies that Blanches illusion is begging to unravel. The reality of Blanches situation becomes apparent to Stanley who then tries to expose Blanche for what she really

First here is one way the author is telling you that Skidmore was guilty. It was well known that Skidmore wore hats that were slightly too big for him, so his eyes were hidden in shadow. The author is showing that wearing a big hat that covers his eyes makes him more suspicious because eyes are very telling of feelings and intentions. It also shows that if he did kill him he didn’t want his brother to look at him and realize what was coming.

Stanley's rape of Blanche is the action that sends him beyond the pale of civilized existence. That he gets away with murder hardly justifies his action; indeed, the audience's feelings of disgust with his character and his behavior are only heightened when he is left unpunished.

Stanley started spreading rumors all around telling people to stay away from blanche and how she sleeps with everyone. Then it got to the point where everyone though that blanche was crazy so stanley decided to rape her,she even tried to tell her sister stella but she wouldn't believe her,in the end she was sent to a mental hospital by stanley and stella. The reason why i

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses three men: Arthur Radley, Atticus Finch, and Tom Robinson, to symbolize mockingbirds, showing why killing a mockingbird is a sin. Arthur Radley, an innocent, is persecuted for his oddities, even though he has hurt no one. Arthur has always been considered by the town to be “a malevolent phantom” that “went out at night” and “peeped in windows” (Lee 10). Arthur’s peculiarities are reported by Scout, who learns throughout the book how cruel the town is being to allow the crucifixion of an innocent. In addition Atticus, an upstanding citizen who is only trying to help and innocent man, is chastised by people attempting to kill his spirit and morals. According to Scout’s cousin, Atticus is “ruinin’ the

He’d just been at the wrong place at the wrong time.”(pg. 7) This explains the horrible situation Stanley had gotten himself into. Towards the end of the story Stanley and Zero found a suitcase in the last hole they dug and, found out that it was Stanley’s,” After legal fees and taxes, Stanley and Zero each received less than a million dollars.”(pg. 230) So, in the beginning of the book, Stanley was sent to a horrible camp but, in the end

Stanley is a character in this play, whose perspective is clearly reality based. Since Blanche’s outlook on life is fantasy based, there is a lot of hostility between the two characters. Stanley is the one that always exposes the lies that Blanche is always hiding behind. He is constantly trying to get her to accept his perspective. When she finally begins to understand him, it’s too late. With such a huge change, she loses her mental state. Her personal beliefs get interchanged between fantasy and reality, to such an extent, that it seems as if she no longer realizes what is true or what is malign.

Have you ever been blamed for something you didn’t do? That’s exactly the situation Stanley Yelnats found himself in, in Louis Sachar’s Holes. In Holes, Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake, a correctional facility for troubled youth. Camp Green Lake is in the middle of nowhere, dry, and desolated. Throughout the book, Stanley is faced with many challenges, that he must overcome to survive, and escape Camp Green Lake. Holes has a strong theme of courage, it shows Stanley surviving, escaping, and overcoming the camp’s conditions, and his family’s curse.

     Stanley shreds the dreams of Blanche DuBois, revealing her ugly past to her sister and her beau. He refuses to

Though some might say that the book does not explain enough, and it gets confusing. I firmly disagree. It may seem weird to have such an odd camp for punishment, but the storyline does eventually explain it. As I said before, Stanley eventually finds out there is more to the camp than everyone thinks. Many times, it's because of the explanation that makes the story interesting! I assure you that everything fits in like a puzzle piece, and that's what so great about the book! Overall, this argument is pointless. Continuing, the story includes many different mini-stories that fits together. To illustrate my point, Stanley Yelnat's great-great-grandfather apparently put a curse on the generations of Yelnats. The grandfather did not do an important task that he was suppose to do, and a curse settled upon the generations. He "worked hard, but bad luck seemed to follow him everywhere." This happening to the grandfather first, causes Stanley to have unfortunate timing. This shows how everything together. All in all, this is another reason why you should read Holes.

In ‘Holes’ it is said that “if you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy”. In what ways does Stanley Yelnats change and develop as a character during the course of the novel? Do you think the punishment the boys receive at Camp Green Lake is an effective way of preventing crime?

Living in the sleepy town of Macomb, Alabama, Scout Finch and her brother Jem Finch go on different adventures with their foreign comrade Dill. In doing so, they discover Arthur Radley also known as Boo an old man who has never ventured out past his doorstep. There father, Atticus, a peaceful and quiet lawyer and their black maid Calpurnia teach them import lesson about racial equality. During the fall Dill returns home and Scout goes to school. She detests it, for she is very smart and too advanced for the class. During school Jem and scout find a hole in a tree filled with gum. They take the gum, but little do they know that Arthur Radley had placed it there for them to enjoy. Later in that year they spy on boo only to discover that he wanted to be left alone.

Blanche’s unexpected arrival at the entrance of the play is what stirs an even bigger monster in Stanley. Upon her entrance, she immediately causes trouble due to her and Stanley’s differences. Blanche is a southern belle from a very wealthy background. She is very proud of being brought up in the upper class while Stanley is proud that he lead his own life through the working class. This makes him a very rude and animalistic man with a lower level of education. Even their first conversation

He desperate attempts to reinvent her self in front of Steila and Stanley ends up with her sympathizing with her self and allowing them to pick up on her disturbing past. On Stanley’s behalf they end up rejecting her like she rejected her husband and shortly enough she slips into her own insanity.

A year later, his father remarried a woman from “hell” and she was one of the reasons why Stanley became destructive. She was selfish and only cared for her and her seven children. She physically and emotionally abused Stanley by severely beating him many times and blaming him for senseless things. She also neglected him and his two other siblings while she gave her children the best of everything with Stanley’s father money. For example, his stepmother would save food and feed her own children and let Stanley and his siblings
