Holes

I read the book Holes by Louis Sachar. It's about a boy   Stanley Yelnats goes to camp called camp green lake. Camp green lake is juvenile detention facility in Texas, it's a place for kids who have committed crime. Stanley Yelnats was arrested for a crime he did not commit and he went on a bus to camp green lake.                                                                                          

Stanley was arrested because one day he was walking down another boy named Zero who was shoeless needed a pair of shoes, so he went to a auction to steal a famous pair of shoes they were Clyde “Sweet Feet” Livingston shoes a famous baseball player, so Stanley eventually got caught with the shoes. After a long and lonely Stanley met all of the supervisors but he got warned to watch out for Warden Walker.

Stanley's job though is to basically dig holes a certain amount of feet and width, but the lake is dangerous, it has yellow spotted lizards and there venom is so strong it can kill you.

Warden tells the tennagers to work hard and eventually facilitate their rehabilitation into society, but really she wants them to dig for a secret treasure that was stolen and hidden by infamous bandit Kate Barlow. But along the same guy who drop the shoes on him (Zero) helps him find there way out of camp green lake and on there way out they find the treasure and the y split the money.


In Conclusion, I really liked this book because it is adventure and I think the people who like adventure should read this book because most of it is in a lake where they are trying to escape. This is a great book I really the people who are looking for a book to read really should try this one out.

Holes

Introduction: The title of this book is called “Holes” by Louis Sachar, This book has 3 separate story that are connected together. Louis Sachar has written a lot of book like Why Pick On Me?, Small Steps and more books. Small Steps is about a African teenager Theodore Johnson who have problem to rebuild his life after a brief spell in a youth correctional facility. In Apr 18, 2003 the book “Holes” turn into a movie by Walt Disney. The theme on this story is that you should never give up on something

Summary: In the book “Holes” The main character Stanley Yelnats had a curse on him, when he was on his way home, a shoe from the sky suddenly hit his head, he was arrested after that day when he found the shoe he didn't commit any crime, later that day he went to the court and they made 2 choice for him to rather go to jail or camp green lake, he went to camp green lake later that day. He and the other boys at camp green lake are forced to dig holes every day. The book has 3 separate story about why they are digging and why Stanley Yelnats has the curse on him.

Analysis/Review: All of the book I read before none of the book I read was interested to be honest. In my opinion this book is trying to tell you that you should never give up because Stanley Yelnats is digging Holes everyday and he never give up. I like this book the most because it gives a lot of detail and have 3 separate story. I recommend you guys who is friendly and like helping other should read this book. This book is worth reading because after you read the book then you can start watching the movie and everything will start making sense.
