Holes - First Impressions

I haven't had a blog before, so even if it's a homework for our holiday, I'm kind of excited about it :D.
   Secondly, I must say, that I've watched the movie of this book two years ago, but t be honest, I don't remember at all. I thought, if I don't remember the movie, it must be very boring.It wasn't like how I excepted, it wasn't.

   The main character of the book "Holes" is Stanley Yellnats. He is overweight and innocent of a crime that he is being punished for. He is sent to the Camp Green Lake for the punishment. He is a little bit optimist, because he thinks, that this camp is as a vacation near the lake, but it isn't. He and the other children must dig holes everyday on a dry lake.
   There is a funny thing about Stanley, he is always in wrong place in wrong time,and he believes that it's because of his no-good- dirty-rotter-pig-stealing-great great-grandfather, - I must confess when I see this words in the book, I didn't actually read all of the words :D- Stanley believes, he and his family has been cursed, that's the reason why bad things always happens to him.
   This story reminds me of my grandmom. When someone breaks a mirror, she believes, that it brings 7 years curse for the family. By the way I don't know why it is 7 years.

   Stanley has not any idea of his curse, either. We can only know it from the next chapters ;)
