Analysis of the Book (part 2)

Hello again!
Now I want to write about the style that the author used.
I think, Louis Sachar structured the book very well because there is more than one more story in this book and these stories has a connection. So it was important for the author not to overlook anything because any detail he has forgotten could make the book miserable. I liked the style the author used. The book was quite thrilling and it made me curious. I also liked how the author connected the stories. So I could finish this book without any question marks left in my head but since the beginning of the book I think that it’s a children’s book. Despite so many complications there is always a solution and of course in the end the evil was punished and the good was rewarded as I expected:)

What is coming next?

   I have just read the part where Zero left the camp.After Warden says Stanley not to teach Zero how to read and write, Zero hits Pendanski's face with the shovel and runs.Now I am going to write my predictions about the following chapters of the book.As it has been said in the book before,the nearest water is a hundred miles away.There are also many dangerous animals in the desert.Zero is aware of that.So I think he will go back to camp eventually.If he doesnot go back he will probably die or there could be another way to survive which will surprise us.
    Warden is avery dominant woman.If Zero goes back to CampGreen Lake  she wouldnot have pitty on him.we know what she did to Mr.Sir when she got mad at him.She slapped him with her venomous fingernails.



She would probably do the same to Zero.It is also possible that Stanley goes after Zero.I think he will do that because Stanley is a good and loyal friend.He also fells sorry about Zero digging his hole for him.If we assume that Stanley goes after Zero we can say the some possibilities for Stanley too.He will either go back or die.
    But it would make the book meaningless if they both just die.they need to go back somehow so that the mstery about Kate Barlow's loot will be solved and the Yelnats' family story and the loot will be connected.

Zero-Character Analysis



Hey guys! I finished the first 90 pages book. Today I want to write about Zero. Zero's real name  is Hector Zeroni.
Zero is the youngest boy and the fastest digger in group D.Here we realized that he is very strong for his age. Although he doesnot talk much to anyone, they slowly become good friends with Stanley. How do?
Stanlay always says that he is "in the wrong place at the wrong time". And now he has one more reason to say it again.


Sunflowerseeds which belong to Mr. Sir have been stolen and Stanley has tooken the blame.
When Stanley was taken to the Warden's office by Mr. Sir, Zero digs Stanley's hole for him because he knows that Stanley is innocent.So Stanley and Zero begin to talk to each other. Their friendship improves.


Zero is my favourite character in the book. He doesnot answer anyone's questions. When Mr. Pendanski introduces him to the other boys,he says  "there's nothing inside his head,". Zero says to Stanley afterward "I just do not like to answer their question,". that was excatly the answer that I have expected.


zero is illiterate.When he saw Stanley writing a letter to his mother he wants to learn how to read and write and he says it to Stanley.
During their study we find out that Zero is very successful in mathematics.




This is the actor who played the role of Zero in the movie.

       FIRST IMPRESSIONS



Hello everybody! You are about to read my first very own blog.I hope you'll enjoy reading it!


When I saw this book first time,i thought that it's about moles.There are hole pictures on the cover page of the book, maybe that's why a mole was the first thing to pop into my mind.But after reading a few pages ,certainly, I can say it has nothing to do with that.
I think,holes is the best book that we ever had as a holiday homework.
When I asked some people who already read it about the book, they said they liked it a lot. I also heard that Walt Disney Pictures even made a movie out of this book.
Although I have read 30 pages from the book I think is quite intriguing. I already have so many questions to be answered.First of all who is warden? and why is he/she not to be disturbed?



If you get bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard,you might as well go 
into the shade of the oak trees and lie in the hammock.
there is nothing anyone can do to you anymore.



The book is about the story of Stanley Yelnats, who has been sent to Camp Green Lake instead of a prison.( it was his own choice)


I think no one should be sent there. As we have seen in the quotation above, Camp Green Lake seems quite dangerous. We will see what will happen in the future.
I can not wait to read more.
