HOLES

Good morning miss faey and class, today I am going to talk to you about, why “holes” by Louis sachar should be included as a new text for year8 english students. If you have seen the movie holes, what did you think about it? Did you like it or dislike it. Today I’m going to give you my opinion.

My opinion on Louis sachar’s holes is it is actually a great read and should definitely be included as a new text for future year 8 english students.

The story of Stanley and zero is set in the middle of Texas where it is a extremely dry and barren there is no water for 100 miles, it seems the only living thing is a lizard called the yellow spotted lizard which could kill anyone with just one bite! I think that this is a great spot the author has chosen to set a boys camp, because it makes it more interesting that there is no gates or walls, they could practically just walk out whenever they wanted to.

Kissing Kate was the outlaw at the time that Stanley’s great Grandfather was around. She got her name because she would kiss her victims goodbye just before she killed them. Stanley’s great grandfather had just made a fortune in the stock market and was moving from New York to California when kissing Kate the outlaw robbed him and took every last cent, but I guess this time he was lucky she didn’t kill him or kiss him goodbye, she just took the money and left Stanley’s great grandfather stranded in the desert.

The sub plot I like most in the book would probably be the one of kissing Kate and Sam the onion man because its set at the same location as zero and Stanley’s story but one hundred and ten years ago, and the descriptions are totally different the one of when Sam the onion man and kissing Kate where there was lush, damp and full of cool water infact there was once the largest lake in Texas once situated there, there were also trees growing peaches. But when Stanley got to camp green lake it was barren and desolate there were few run down buildings and a couple of tents, with
