Holes post 2

At this point in my book Stanley and Zero have become very good friends. Stanley has agreed to help Zero read if he helps dig his holes. Mean while every one else is digging their own hills. There is a new kid that comes in. They call him twitch, and him and Stanley decided to steal the sunflower seeds from Mr. Sir. When they got caught Stanley took the blame. Kate was really upset cause they were burning down her school because she kissed Sam so she ran off but she got caught. When Stanley and Zero got caught helping each other, Zero got mad and took the shovel and smashed Mr. Pendanski in the face and ran away. Later on a few days later Stanley stole the water truck to try to get away but crashed it into a hole. He then ran looking for Zero. When he found zero they decided they were going to go up to the "thumb." Zero got got really sick and Stanley carried him up the mountain. When they got to the top they found water and food, which was onions still in the ground. Zero told Stanley that they should go back to the camp to get a shovel to dig one more hole. They ended up going to the camp and got a shovel. They dug a hole and found a treasure chest with Stanley Yelnats written on it. In the morning they found both Zero and Stanley. In the end they got to go home with all the treasure and the family was no longer "cursed." Zero met his mom and was reunited with her.
There was not very many funny parts in the book but it was all based on a comedy that everyone can relate to in life, from failure, to getting into some type of trouble. Also the bondingship two stangers can have with eachother and unite together to help one another.I believe that everyone can relate to this book in some way.

In the book Holes Stanley Yelnats the third is a normal student that is bullied in high school until one day after he missed his bus due to him being bullied he has to walk home. As he is walking home he gets hit by a pair of shoes that "came out of the sky." The cops stopped him and they ended up being Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston, which he was donating to charity. So he went to court and they told him he has to choices either jail or Camp Green Lake, but because he has never been to camp he decided he was going to go there. His dad and his grandpa blamed everything on their "No-good-ditty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather." They say because he did not return that pig to Madame Zeroni, that their whole family will be curse for eternity, and they believe that because his dads inventions never seemed to work out. There are characters that have nicknames for each other. For example Alan is squid, X-Ray, Jose is magnet, Theodore is Armpit,and Ricky is Zigzag. They get these names when you are accepted as one of them. Stanleys nickname is Caveman.There is one other person but he does not speck so they call him Zero. Stanley on the other hand can get him to talk. They were in a meeting when they first heard Zero talk. They have to dig five inch holes a day. There councilor said that it builds character.
I believe that this book has some humor in it. I think that the nick names add a lot of humor into the book, because they have the nicknames for a reason. For example Ray which they call him X-Ray has bad vision and can not see that well. Theodore is armpits because every time he lifts his arms, he makes people sick with the smell of his armpits. I also find it funny how they blames everything on the "No-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing Great-great-grandfather." I think that it is funny that they think that the stuff that is happening to them is because of him. For example Stanleys dad is trying to invent something that will make the shoes smell better and last longer, but he seems to not be able to accomplish that so he blames it on him. Also Stanley blames his great-great-grandfather for the shoes "falling out of the sky," and getting him into trouble. So I believe that humor plays a big role in this book.
