LE FINAL CHAPTER: OVERVIEW, COMPLETE ANALYSIS

Since the first book I ever read, and the first movie I ever saw, I have always loved causality as a plot device. Such as in the movies "Mr. Nobody"(which left me quite half-depressed for quite a while), "The Butterfly Effect" and the Matrix Trilogy, and as the main idea of the Law of Attraction, (read "The Secret") I love stories where characters see the consequences of previous actions taken by themselves or by others. I like being reminded that the entire idea of destiny is completely obsolete. Holes is another story built on this fashion. All happenings taking place in the present are manifestations of happenings that took place 100 years ago. That's why Sachar deserves a standing ovation. Anyway; after flipping the last page of the book, I can boldly state that it was worthwhile. Characters were thoroughly thought upon, and their relations were never handled differently than their personalities would require. As though it may be that certain events occur very coincidentially, we should overlook that fact, since the book was meant for lower age groups as well. Some fixed themes in children's books are there too, like friendship, love, etc. though these are presented in a way so as to try and avoid clichés.
All in all, I find Holes to be a fine effort from a fine author, and a book worth taking a look at. If one does take a look at it, they surely will be flown away to the end of the book anyway.
Anyskank, this is my final entry in this blog, as I leave this page never to return again, and let it dust away as a distant memory of teh interwebz. Hope you enjoyed reading my bollocks.
cheerio, toodles, hugs,kisses xoxo.
Genco out.


LE CHAPTER THREE: CHARACTER ANALYSIS: HECTOR "ZERO" ZERONI

I guess I picked one of the two people one would expect that one would pick for analysis. Zero: the fastest digger of the D tent. The small, illiterate, black kid had been known by inmates as being dumb and socially adept, whereas he is -to the contrary- very smart and friendly, but just does not want/need to create close relations with the other people at camp. It is only when Stanley arrives in camp that Zero begins his case of "public relations"(cheers yiğit!). I guess his family history being related to Stanley's in certain ways might have a subconscious effect on that (yes, that s**t exists). So anywhore, you know this kid is a good kid when he takes up stanley's work for teaching him to read and write. He is also shown to be a natural born mathematician, and he can instantaneously solve rather complicated equations. His demeanor that could make him appear stupid and asocial, comes from his high intellect and his silent nature, caused by the circumstances of his early life, which are apparently far from ideal. The same circumstances lead to Zero being lonely and lovethirsty his whole life. This brings about an ideal condition for the friendship between Stanley and Zero. Zero is desperately in need of affection and Stanley is in desperate need of a friend to survive in an environment he does not belong. To close it off, I think Zero is potential wasted, and i am glad he will end up with a much better life (they always do).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
I would also like to take this chance to remind my friends to stop being douchebags and actually read and comment on my blog.

GODDAMMIT

I BURNED THE ROOF OF MY TONGUE WITH MY COFFEE!!!
S**T!!!!!!!

LE CHAPTER TWO: PREDICTION

I haven't really gone so far into the book, but it is fair to say that there aren't many directions this story could go. There are some factors in life. When you see them, you say "Well, i know what this will bring about".
Considering this is a children's book, it is almost undeniable that this book will have a happy ending (and the nigger will commit a crime. lol jks). I guess anyone who has read the book properly will have realized that there is something uncanny about how the children are forced to dig holes; and thanks to the bombardment of spoilers i have recieved from some of my mates, i have reasons to believe that "someone" is looking for "something hidden". And as it is with every child's book involving a treasure, we know that the protagonist is going to find it (that would be our chubby Private Gomer Pyle Stanley Yelnats).Then come the bad guys that want the treasure, and the tiny-ass 14-year-old kid will somehow be triumphant. You'll see.

LE CHAPTER ONE: GETTING STARTED

Book by Louie Sachar,
Holding the book, considering the amount of time i had wasted before finally getting to the task, how god damn thick the book and how small the font was, and the prejudices I had about how good a book meant to be read for homework could be, this seemed like an extremely straining task. However, after a few pages of moanery, I started to realize that there is more to the book than I had thought. The book is apparently meant for an age group somewhere near mine, it is written in a interesting and compelling fashion that takes the reader places (despite the title's lack of appeal) and makes the reader wonder what will happen on the forthcoming pages. One thing i particularly like, is that Sachar did not make the common mistake of using his exaggerated and softened perspective of "teen speak" which is nothing like the language spoken by real people of that age group. So anyway, Stanley Yelnats (see whatcha did there) is -as always- screwed over and punished for a crime he hasn't committed. Will he be able to cope? Who the hell is that warden? We shall see...
