Stay Out of Trouble

Authors Note: This piece is going to be about the point of view of the main character in the book Holes By Louis Sachar. It is going to tell you what the character feels and thinks in the piece.

Imagine yourself getting in really bad trouble for something you didn't do and having to go to jail or a bad boys camp and you are trying really hard to get out of the situation. That’s what life was like for Stanley the main character in Holes by Louis Sachar. So here he is getting in really bad trouble for something he didn't do and having to go to a camp. So he is on the bus going to the camp out in the middle of a desert where it never is cool it is always blazing hot and not a lot of water for them each to have. Why’ll he is there he learns a lot from other kids that are there. He isn't that smart and he doesn't stand up for himself he just keeps moving on from situations.

This camp makes them work hard each day they each have to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide and everyday it gets harder to dig. Lots of people make fun of his looks and weight he just doesn’t care about them and he keeps working and doesn't care about him.  He has a friend there that talks to him and they just hang out he is very shy and quiet and hates where he is at. There is a warden there she is like the boss of the place and id you find something interesting you have to show it to the warden and she decides if you get the rest of the day of.

If the story was from her point of view it would be a little different. She would tell us all the different types of kids there and what they feel and lots of cool things that kids have brought in. she was kind of a mean lady and very strict and she’s very tall. She got the best place to sleep a log cabin and the kids got tents. There was a scene in the story about the warden and Stanley where Stanley found something cool in a hole at night and the warden came over and caught him. That tells the reader that the warden is kind of mean and is keeping an eye on the area where they dig their holes.

In conclusion the story would be very different if the point of view was on the warden it would change a lot of things like the tone and the way the reader feels about all the people in the story. So try not to get caught if you are doing something mad and stay out of trouble in the future.
