Analysis

Well, I liked the book, a lot. I could predict what was going to happen next, but it was still exciting. As I mentioned before, the author has a style which links the past with the present. There were a bunch of flashbacks and a lot of ironical resemblances between the past and the present. I think this was a crucial feature for the book’s quality. It was a thrilling book.The plot was well designed and therefore interesting. There were a lot of themes in the book like love, hope, racism, poverty and frienship. If I understood the book right, the authors main message was  “The destiny is changeable. Our choices are what determines our destiny ”. However, I’m not really sure about that :D. Anyway, we got ourselves a happy ending as usual. I’m not complaining though. I would have been seriously pissed if  Zero and Stanley got bitten by lizards and died in the end :D. Despite there were a lot of clichées – the overweight asocial kid gets to have friends in the end,the silent boy turns out to be very smart , the good guys win, the evils gets punished etc. – it was an interesting story. I, for one, think it was the most enjoyable book I read as an assignment. It feels really good to finally finish this assignment, I hope you liked my blog. Here’s the trailer of the movie adaptation:

Looking Back (part 3)

Lizards weren’t biting them because of the onionish stink of their bodies. The staff were waiting with pistols in their hands just in case they would not die when Stanley’s attorney came. She said there was a court order about Stanley’s release. He was found innocent and since they could not find any file that indicates Zero was convicted, they released Zero as well. And about the suitcase, the Warden claimed it was hers and the boys tried to steal it. But there was Stanley’s name on the suitcase for it was a belonging of the first Stanley Yelnats who was robbed by Kissin’ Kate. As I predicted, Zero turned out to be a descendant of Madame Zeroni. And the day a descendant of Elya carried a descendant of Madame Zeroni up the mountain, the so called curse was broken. In the suitcase there were a lot of jewelry, but they were not as valuable as they looked.What made Stanly and Zero rich was the stock files that belonged to the first Stanley Yelnats. Our Stanley’s father invented a spray that prevents foot odor. Clyde the Sweet Feet starred  in the product’s tv advertisement. Zero found his mom again, the camp staff were convicted and the camp was closed. A girl scouts’ camp opened in it’s place and the area was no longer an arid land. Now that’s what i call a happy ending.  I liked the book and I hope you liked my posts. See ya in da analysis.

Yay. Happy Ending.

Looking Back (part 2)

Yep, the truck stuck in a hole and he continued on foot, without any water. That's really dumb isn't it :D ? So, he tought Zero may have gone to the God's thumb - the first Stanley Yelnats survived a desert like this place, while he recovered, he said he had found refuge on the God's thumb. When or Stanley saw a thumbs-up sign shaped mountain, he tought it might be it. - Anyway, after a hard walk he saw a boat in the middle of nowhere, he tought he could check it out. Guess what he found under it ? Zero !  He survived eating  some ancient spiced peach jam (he called it sploosh) which was made by Kate Barlow. Of course, it made him sick and Stanley had to carry him to the top of the God’s thumb. He found the water refuge but it was all muddy and so little. Then he dug  and he found onions growing there. They waited there for Zero to recover eating nothing but onions. When  Zero got better, they filled their jars with water and stuffed all the onions they can fit in a sack and went back to dig up the treasure of Kissin’ Kate. They are caught by the Warden and the camp staff in the hole where they had found a suitcase. But they realized they were surrounded by yellow spotted lizards.

Looking Back (part 1)

Hey ! I finished the book yesterday ! I can say I really liked it and I'm going to tell you what happened after Stanley found the lipstick case of Kate Barlow. So, Mr. Sir caught Stanley with one of his sunflower seed sacks. Stanley took the blame, altough he didn't steal it. Anyway Mr Sir brought him to the Warden and she got mad at Mr Sir for bothering her with such little problems of his and slapped him with her rattlesnake-poison-nailpolished hand. His face got swollen and he got mad at Stanley of course, he did not give him water a few times. Anyway, the kids started to tease Stanley since he let Zero dig his hole because Stanley taught him how to read. This teasing thing got a litle further and turned into a fight, Zigzag attacked him and beat him, Zero tackled Zigzag and he would have choked him to death if Mr Pendanski didn't stop him. Mr Pendanski started to insult Zero, Zero got really mad and hit him with his shovel. Then he just ran away from the camp. Warden made Mr Pendanski erase all the files of Zero from all databases. Nobody would come looking for him. At first Stanley did not follow him because he didn't think he would be of much help anyway, but then he felt guilty and stole the water truck to follow him. But when you can't even drive in a plain area, it's pretty much impossible to drive in a hole covered arid land.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   To be continued...

Prediction- Character Development

Hey, 'sup ?! I've been reading for a while and  I'm on the part where Stanley digs up the strange cylinder shaped object with the initials K.B. on it. And we get to meet with the Warden ! Yay ! She's one creepy crazy b*tch tough, I wouldn't even think she was a she if my fellow friends weren't such spoiler loving jerks . I think the initials on the cylinder - Stanley thinks it's a lipstick case - stand for Kate Barlow, since there's just her name that fits the initials in the book . I'm pretty sure about it because the author seems to have a writing style in which he links the past with the present. I think it's fun and exciting altough it's predictable. Therefore, I think  the Warden's or  the camp's purpose is to find some stuff which belonged to Kate Barlow.  Anyway, I wanna talk about our cavemen a little bit. Yep, he got himself a nickname after  standing up against a kid -  I don’t remember the name -  who tripped. He’s got a lot tougher than he was before and I think he will be a badass by the end of the book. By the way he accepted to teach Zero reading, I think the two of them are going to be friends later.  I gots to read the rest, see ya in da next post !

I'm outta here !

First Impressions - Holes by Louis Sachar

'Sup peoplzz ? I'm Hazar and it's about time I started my assignment which is writing a reading blog about Holes by Louis Sachar. I haven't written a reading blog, or even a simple blog  before (Well, a content stealing music blog doesn't count, does it ?) so please forgive me if I write something stupid.

The cover with the mighty yellow-spotted lizard, if you gey bitten by it: FATALITY !

I guessed that the book would be more like a hardcore literature, based on its name and its cover. I thought it would be about a drought or something. Turns out I'm wrong. The book is a children's book (I'm not saying this as a negative feature, I love children's books :D ) about a chubby boy, Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake as a penalty due to a crime he did not commit. As in the first sentence of the book ;"There is no lake at Camp Green Lake". The so called bad boys who got sent there are obligated to dig up holes on the arid land where the lake stood before the heat dried it up. This action would surely turn them in to good boys (sarcasm here). Anyway, the book seems to be fun and the language is simple, this is an exceptionary book assignment, I must say. :D 

Here's a poster of the movie arrangement.

Here are some questions that came to my mind while reading: 
Why are they making the kids dig up holes, what exactly do they hope to find ?
Why are the nicknames of campers so eccentric and why do the boys seem like they are proud of their nicknames ? 
Hope you enjoyed the post.
