the title of this book really does fit the book shes the girlfriend of what she calles the sex God.
1.why did you choose to write this book? it is a good book and im wondering where you got the idea?
2. why does she have to move to her dad instead of her dad moving to her?she wouldnt be so mad if he moved to her so she wouldnt have to leave everyone and everything.
3.how did you choose to become a wrighter? your a verygood wrighter and should make a 3rd sequal.

Holes


This is a fictional book. I chose Holes because I have always heard good things about it, and back when it came out, it was a very popular selection. Also, I went and saw the movie a while back, and I thought that it was a very good movie, so I wanted to see how the book would compare with the movie.
This book is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. As he is walking home one day, a pair of stolen shoes is tossed onto him, leading the cops to follow and arrest him. He is charged with stealing the shoes, and is sentenced to either go to prison, or go to Camp Green Lake. Stanley chooses to go to Camp Green Lake, being as he has never been to camp before. However, when Stanley gets to the "camp", he realizes that it is not much of a camp at all. The campers are forced to dig holes every day, which is supposed to "improve character", according to Mr. Sir. Stanley must find a way to survive the camp, and also find out the secret of the reason behind why they must dig the holes.
This title is very significant to this book, as the campers are forced to dig "Holes" every day. Also, the holes' significance goes back many years in the story, since the treasure was burried in one of the holes.
QUESTIONS:
1. Why did you give the nickname "Mom", to Mr. Pendanski?
2.What is the significance behind giving each of the boys a nickname?
3.What is the significance of having Stanley's last name being spelt backwards spell Stanley?
