Hi everybody
Today I wanna talk about Stanley Yelnats IV, who is the main character in "Holes". He has a poor family. He is overweight and he doesn't have any friends. He was accused for stealing sneakers which belonged to famous baseball player Clyde Livingston. But actually he was innocent. He didn't steal anything. He'd just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. The sneakers fell from the "sky" while he was walking home. But no one knows that. And the story that he told was absolutely not convincing. He has a choice whether to go to Camp Green Lake or to go to jail. The Camp Green Lake is equivalent to prison but he doesn't know that. That's why Stanley chooses Camp Green Lake because his family is poor and he has never been to camp.
I think that the Camp Green Lake helped him to improve his character. He used to be a chicken-hearted boy. Now he became a stronger, braver boy. He meets new people and he finds his first real friend, Hector Zeroni (Zero). The boys at the Camp Green Lake give him a nickname. They call Stanley as "Caveman". Just think a second please, a loser boy became a "Caveman". He has totally changed at the Camp Green Lake.
Yes, maybe he is sent there accidentally but probably it is the best thing he's ever experienced.

I think your analysis would make the people -who haven't read the book yet- want to read it. Because your analysis about Stanley includes the most basic and the important information about him. It tells us who he is, how does he look like, what are the strengths and weaknesses of his character, what role he has in the book, and what kind of development has he, what changed about him. And especially it would make me wonder how did he develope, what happend in Camp Green Lake(if I haven't read the book). So I liked you analysis, well done :)
