Story 2

The secon short story i read was called Holes by Louis Sachar. The book was about a boy named Stanley Yelnads and his good mate that he meets at the camp his name is Zero. He is called Zero at camp because he says nothing but later Stanley finds out that his real name is Hector Zeroni. The Story is about a camp where young bouys go for when they have done something wrong like break the law. They have to dig holes for there worden she is looking for something from a long time ago when she went on a killing spree. The camp is in the middle of the desert and no one runs away because there is no were to run to. Stanley and Zero run away and they nearly die of starvating and dehydration. Stanley remembers that his grandpa told him that is you climb up the only mountain that you can see there will be onions and water at the top which there was. The boys return to camp and recieve a punishment of lots of diging. The boys find the case that the warden was looking for. Stanley and Zero are rescued by Stanleys parents because they find out about the history of the warden and the warden never gets to see whats in the case.

I liked the whole story line it was a book that was hard to put down and i really enjoyed reading. Holes is a book that most kids have read. The book is very interesting and keeps you guessing what is going to happen next.

I dont think that the book could have a lot of improving although, it could been made a better book if there was a conflict between the groups that were formed, ie stanleys and zeros group could have a conflict with another group then they could be mean to each other by getting each other in trouble and getting punished for things they didnt do.

The book was more a novel than a short story. But i would read anothr book from the same author as i really enjoyed reading the book Holes.
