This past week, we have read the book "Holes". We have read 30 chapters & I'm going to make a summary about it.
Stanley was just a regular kid walking down the streets. Suddenly, he got a hit by a flying pair of an expensive and famous shoe. There were polices everywhere & they assumed that Stanley stole the pair of shoes. He was brought to the judge & he was given 2 options. Either go to prison or go to Camp Green Lake (Camp for Bad Boys) for 18 months. He was brought by a school bus to the camp. He looked & looked to the new environment. He saw no lakes & its just like a plain desert with no "green" on it.
He made new friends mostly from the "D" tent & other tents. He was thought to dig holes everyday, that it will make you a good boy. He always thought the reason that he was in Camp Green Lake is because of his dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great grandfather. He believe that he was cursed& it goes down to his family as well.
Elya Yelnats, made a promise to Madame Zeroni. The deal was to bring her up the mountain, through a pig. He had broken the promise and was believed to be cursed by her. So the cursed pass down the Yelnats family.
110 years ago, before the Camp Green Lake actually existed, it was a town. Green Lake is a beautiful town with a real lake & with a lot of peach trees. There was a school, with a teacher named Katherine. She was a beautiful teacher. She fell in love with an onion-seller named Sam. In that time, there was a Law that a black man could not kissed a white women. They ignored the law. Trout Walker, The richest man in town fell in love with Katherine. After he knew that Sam kissed her, he attacked the school that Katherine teacher at & has attacked Sam as well. Katherine ran to find Sherrif for help.
After time goes by, Sherrif also tried to killed Sam. Katherine and Sam ran away with a boat but it was too late as the attackers still could reach them. They went and killed Sam. Meanwhile, Katherine has survived. After Sam's death, Katherine went crazy! She killed the Sherrif and became an outlaw named Kissin' Kate Barlow. After that incident, there was no rain. As the lake dries out as well.
Now, that she's an outlaw, she likes to rob people. One of the victims was Stanley Yelnats (Stanley's great grandpa). She stole his money and digged it in the ground. Charles Walker & his wife tried to find out from Kate Barlow hid it, it was too late. She passed away because she got bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard. Before she died she said "You and your children's & your great children will dig for the next 100 years and would NEVER find it". No one knew where she hid it.
Time to time, the town dried up. It was a dead town. Stanley finds it hard to dig because of the environment. It's very hot & humid. Stanley now has friends and now he is called "Caveman". His best friend was, Zero. His real name is Hector Zeroni. They made a deal. The deal was, since Zero is the fastest on digging holes, he would dig Stanley's holes & Stanley would teach him how to read. Since Zero doesn't know how to read, Stanley teach him how to read.
Mr. Pendanski which is one of the main person in-charge teased Zero. Saying that he was stupid & didn't know how to read. Zero became really mad & proofed him wrong while he threw a shovel at him. Zero went to Warden's office to explain why he did that because he was in big trouble. Then, Warden told the other kids to dig 7 holes a day from the other 6.
