FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Hi everybody,

You're just about to read my reading blog about the book "Holes",but first of all i want to ask: Are you sure? Because i have never written a blog (it will be my first trial:D) and i am not sure i'm good at it. Anyway,if you're decisive to read it,here we go.Enjoy it!

When i first saw the cover of the book i couldn't imagine what the book is about.Actually it didn't make me curious and i thought "again a boring book as a homework".But then i understood that i was wrong.I only read the first 40 pages of the book but i can say this is the best book that we have read for a school assignment.A fluent book and an interesting plot.What else does a student expect from a homework book?:D

The book "Holes" which was written by Louis Sachar is about a boy Stanley Yelnats who was arrested for stealing sneakers (Actually he didn't commit that crime) and sent to Camp Green Lake instead of going to jail. It isn't a normal camp and the campers are supposed to dig holes,because some people think "To take a bad boy and make him digging a hole everyday in the hot sun ,it will return him into a good boy"(p 9).I am not sure if it's a good way.

And i have many questions which are waiting for their answers.

"There's really only one rule at Camp Green Lake:Don't upset the Warden."(p 18) Who's that Warden and why shouldn't Stanley upset him or her?

Why doesn't Zero speak? (I think he has an interesting story but we don't know anything about him)

Can Stanley's family get rid of their curse?

What will Stanley do at Camp Green Lake?Will he try to escape?

Enough for today.See you later:D                                                                (W 285)



"If only,if only,"the woodpeckers sighs,

"The bark on the tree was just a little bit softer."

While the wolf waits below,hungry and lonely.

He cries to the moo-oo-oon,

"If only,if only"            

(p12)

Here is the trailer of the movie adaptation of "Holes".
