Be Confident

Author’s Note: This short piece is going to tell you what my prediction was and what I think was going to happen at the end of a book I am reading.

The book Holes by Louis Sachar I think is a really great book for young and old who like to read books. Holes is about teenagers who do a crime and either go to jail or to a camp and at the camp they have to dig a hole each day five feet deep and five feet wide and if they find something interesting they show it to the warden she’s like the runner of the camp and she decides if they get the rest of the day off. It teaches people lots of different things. One thing it teaches is that you have to keep working hard even if you are in a hot place or a cold place.

I had lots of predictions in my head about this book but I will tell you one of them.  I predicted that The main character Stanley will find something interesting in a hole that he is digging and he will show it to the warden at the camp and he will not have to dig holes for a week because how cool the thing was that he had found. The reason I predicted that, is because Of what I said about them getting the rest of the day off if they found something cool. That prediction just stuck out to me for some reason and I thought my prediction was a good one to say.

We all have our own predictions for every book and people can’t tell you that the prediction is wrong because we all have different predictions and there can’t always be that one person that thinks whatever they do or think is right. Our predictions are sometimes right and sometimes wrong it depends on the outcome of the story so make good predictions and see what happens.

Stay Strong

Author note: In this piece I will be telling you what the theme is in the book holes and what the characters experience throughout the book and what the author is trying to say.

In the book Holes by Louis Sachar the author proves to readers that bravery and courage go with the book because of many different events that happened. Many people that read this book learn a lot about life ,and what it does to you if you make the wrong choices. The characters in the book have to stay strong through the very hot days that they are at camp with not a lot of water each day and not good food to eat. Each person there has to listen to their instructor and do the right things. 

There are many characters in the story and how they have bravery and courage and how they each stay strong and don't give up digging there holes or helping other people. Each character in the book learns to listen and once they are done spending their time there they can go, and will never want to come back because how hard you have to work there. It is very hard on them because they don't get to see their family for quite sometime.

The main character Stanley is not a tall , or strong kid he is the opposite and it is hard for him to dig his holes. When he was coming here he thought there was a lake to swim in there so he wouldn't be so hot ,and it turns out that there is no such thing as a lake. He was not happy when he found that out but at least he got to take showers but the showers went for a short time. He teaches some other kids at the camp to stay strong and to not give up and let nothing stop you and fight off the pain and most important keep moving forward never stay back.

There is another book that I have read and it has the same theme in the book holes it is called Travel Team and the main character has to stay strong and never give up and not  listen to what some people say to him He also helps people and gives them good advise to help them in life and to keep them moving forward. So when times get hard try to stay strong and let nothing stop you and let the pain slide of you.
