Responce to Lit


RTL
Holes
Have you ever felt like going off to camp, was like the end of the world?? Well In the book Holes, written by Louis Sacher. In the book Louis was trying to get a crossed the message that never giving up is good, because if you just stick with what your supposed to be doing, you’ll get through it ok. So yea, well this boy Stanley gets in trouble, and gets caught with something that he shouldn’t be caught with, it was a pair of expensive basketball shoes, then he gets shipped off to Camp Green Lake witch really isn’t a camp its more of a young adult labor place. Well now he’s at camp green lake, and he’s doing what he needs to be doing, then him and zero find this chest that has all this gold in it, well the warden tries to steel the chest but she gets poisoned with snake veining, then after all the him, zero, armpit and x- ray all get to come home for the rest of the summer.
There are to main characters in this book, and they are… Stanley, he’s a teen that’s a good kid then he gets in trouble with the shoes. But Stanley is a very laid back, humble nervous and shy teen. He showed the theme never give up, very well I thought because he did his time, and got out, he always did what he had to do no mater what the circumstances were. Then, there’s the other main character Zero, he’s a teen that cant read and Stanley teaches him how to. Zero is also a very quiet, laid back kind of person,. And does what need to be done. He often had people take advantage of him because he was so good at digging hole. I think he dug like 25 holes a days all by himself…
I agree with the theme because nvr give up is a good thing to do because there was this time that I really just wanted to give up on everything becuse nothing was going rite, and it was way to much stree on me to deal with it all. But then i relized life is filled with surprised some good some bad but never giving up is good because if you make it thrught the tough time, your just making your slef stronger by making it throgh it. Partically life is full of things that you or anybody would love to give up, but the will power tell you not to.
In Louis Sachar's book Holes, the character were very believeable because they seemed like any normal teen, they loved to have fun, and hang out, and whatever teens do. and they had human emotions, like Zero was rly shy, and soo was Stanley when he got to camp Green Lake. and the theme Never give up, is a good one for the book because the characters never gave up through out the book.

History Connection. Holes
Child Labor,
Laws!
In 1852, Philadelphia required children to attend a job. In 1853, Caylie Costa, founder the of Childern's Aid Society, which worked to taking in children htat lived on the street. The following year, the children were placed on a train headed West, where they were adopted, and often given work. By the late 1800s, the orphan train had stopped running altogether, but its principles lived on. The National Child Labor Committee, an organization dedicated to the abolition of all child labor.

What my character in the book did for punishment they had to dig a certain amount of holes a day. the hole had to so deep, so wide, and they had to be like almost perfectly round.. if i remember correctly..



This is what the camp looked like, all it was was a dried up lake bed...




An example of what the hole had to look like..

The Poem

The Columbian Exchange

And to the new found shores, many more would come,
At the outset for treasure, and later for rum.
While those staying home in the Old World nations
Were thrilled, indeed, by these explorations.

Like a sudden sunburst, how their lives did change:
Dinner menus, for one, did it re-arrange.
As ships back to Europe were laden with goods:
Like tomatoes and corn, and potatoes and wood.

Of course, trading back then was still filled with danger,
With the seas deadly rought and pirates no stranger.
-- But one thing is certain: Spanish sailors were daring
In the Age of Exploring and of brave sea-faring.
And what a marvel it was, what a change of pace,
To hear of new peoples and discover new tastes.
Like pineapples and turkeys and the cocoanut frond,
Indeed, goodies galore did now cross “the pond.”

With peppers and spices and tortillas and beans
Soon filling the plates of hungry Europeans.
And while trying new foods and learning new ways
Is not always easy, it adds dash to one’s days.

While oranges, lemons and stalks of sugar cane,
All made their way west-ward from the ports of Spain.
Soon after came horses, came cattle and wine
To shape how the New World would travel and dine.

And The Columbian Exchange, as this became known,
Brought chocolate as well to those Old World homes.
-- It’s a wonder to think and a fright to ponder:
What folks did for a snack before chocolate came yonder?


The Columbian Exchange. (B)

"The culinary life we owe columbus is a progressive dinner in witch the whole human race takes part but no one need leave home to sample all the courses."
