Holes

It was a warm sunny day and wasn’t a fun day for Stanley Yelnats. In the book holes by John Steinback he tells about a child's life and how one little thing can turn into a big disaster Disappointments grow as he was convicted to stealing NBA all-star player’s shoes that he had stolen. He was packed and ready to go to as he had a choice to go to jail or Camp. Finally the day had come he went to Camp Green Lake. Spending some time at a Camp didn’t seem so bad but he didn’t know what he got himself into. So he’s wondering what will he do what will happen?

All throughout his child hood he hasn’t done anything like this, but his grandfather is the man of crime. While Stanley had started to get there he realized it wasn’t the Camp he thought it was it was tore ruse and nonstop digging. The warden was the one in charge of it all. Stanley learned she was looking for something. Everyone there is there for a bad thing that they had did. Feelings of hate, sweat, and digging for unknown treasure. After he found out that he would work every day all day he got really tried and thirsty. There were so many other people there digging five foot wide by feet deep holes in the barren waste land of he once biggest lake is Texas.

While the pain of digging was hard and barren the warden was always watching them and their moves along the area. The Lake seemed so big and goes on, and on forever. The warden wants he boys to “build character”. With so many other kids there he thought it would take a while but it took forever. While Stanley was digging he had found some lip-stick. Even though Stanley family has been cursed for generations he has a bright future hopefully! Stanley had made a new friend called Zero. While he makes friends with him zero runs away! When he goes to look for him, when he finally finds him and goes back to look for treasure.

Although digging holes is a pain Stanley is released from Camp because of a case file that he didn’t steal the shoes. Stanley was thrilled that he had left but he will miss his friend Zero but he is thrilled. He never wants to go back there and will have a great life. It was finally good to go back home and not have to worry about digging holes and working in the heat. All through this story Stanley realized that always think before doing is what I think he’s thinking and don’t do things that might get you in trouble that you will end up in the place Stanley Yelnats was.
