The book "Holes" from Louis Sachar is
about a boy, who is sent to a camp for bad boys.
It's in the desert and the boys have to dig one
hole every day. Stanley, the hero of the story,
finds a new friend in Zero, a quiet, black
boy. By the way: Some of the
chapters are flashbacks and describe events which
happened about 110 years ago. They are quite
important to understand the whole story | more about that | and
are very closely connected to what happens in the
camp in the desert. With the web-project we
concentrate on these aspects more than on all the
boys in the camp, although they are quite
interesting as well.
Stanley Yelnats is an
overweight, awkward boy. There was a curse on his
no- good-dirty-rotten-pig
stealing-great-great-grand-father | more about him |.
Stanley has to go to a bootcamp called Camp
Green Lake (there is no lake at Camp Green Lake,
only dry wasteland.), because he is suspected to
have stolen the sneakers from a famous baseball
player called Clyde Livingston. But Stanley is
innocent!
In
this Camp they all have to dig a hole every
day. Stan meets a guy called Zero in Camp Green
Lake. He starts teaching Zero to write an to
read, therefore Zero digs Stanley's hole ,
because Zero is such a fast digger. .............................
