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.
Stanley has not any idea of his curse, either. We can only know it from the next chapters ;)
Romans believed that a mirror reflects your soul and if it the mirror is broken, then so is your soul. The bad luck is seven years, because the Romans believed that your body and your soul takes seven years to fully regenerate.
YanıtlaSilAlso, I like how your entry is so honest, most people(including me) wouldn't admit not reading the whole grandfather thing. Keep going like that!
