What has happened?(Looking Back)

I've recently read the 40th part of the book. Now, I'm writing in this post a short summary about ''What has happened until now?' 

Stanley, our unlucky boy, was sent to Camp Green Lake as a punishment, although he was innocent. He was forced there to dig large holes, ''to build a character''.He changed at the camp a lot. He got stronger. He was accepted in a group. It was so important to him, because he had no friends at the school. 

He was aware that, the Warden had something to hide. That was the reason, why they were digging holes. While he was digging one of his holes, he found a metal tube with the initials ''KB''. The Warden interested in this tube so much.That means, the Warden was looking for something about Kate Barlow. After a while he got it, ''KB'' was Kate Barlow. It was the famous Kiss'n Kate Barlow's lipstick.

One of the most important things in the book ''Holes'' is the friendship between Stanley and Zero(Hector Zeroni). After Zero escaped from the camp, he got worried, so he ran away too. Luckily he realizes, he is in the same desert,in which his great grandfather could survive thanks to God's Thumb Mountain. They decided to climb to mountain. While they were climbing, Stanley noticed, that he couldn't manage to climb. Stanley carried him to the top of the mountain. Finally they reached there, they found water and a lot of sweet onions.

I have just forty pages to read and I hope it will be end with a happy ending. I don't know, what will happen next, but to my opinion the curse will be broken, because Stanley carried Zero to the mountain and sang the song ''If only, If only''. It reminds me the promise of Stanley's great great grandfathers promise to Madam Zeroni.

First Impressions

Hi,

That’s my first entry for this blog and also It’s my first blog too, that’s why I’m a little excited. I hope, you’ll like it.

I want to write my first impressions about the book called "Holes", which I'm supposed to read in three weeks. At first I considered this book as a children's book. I thought it would  have been boring for me, but I have  to say it  wasn’t like, how I expected. The plot is really original. A group  of children dig holes everyday. I’m sure it’s an unusual  theme in a children's book. The author Louis Sachar  must be a creative man.

The protogonist of the book Stanley Yelnats is a very unlucky  boy ,who is sent to the Camp Green Lake juvenile detention center for a crime which he didn’t commit. He is forced there to dig holes everyday. He believes that, these all are because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather(this name makes me laugh, everytime I read it), whose curse has been in this family for generations. When something bad   happens to him ,he says that he is in wrong place in wrong time and  these all are  because of the curse of his great great grandfather. I’m not sure there has been curses in real world, but there is a fact. Don’t we prefer to blame the others to take responsibility?

Besides the Stanley’s story, the local history of Camp Green Lake and  Stanley’s family tales are told throughout the story. Step by step everything starts to fit together. That’s what I liked in this  story. I feel like, I’m an investigator in CSI and trying to find out, what is really going on.
