Best Quates

Mr. Sir : This ain't a girl scout camp! ************************************
Mr. Sir : You thirsty?
Stanley : Yes, Mr. Sir
Mr. Sir : Well, you better get used to it. You're going to be thirsty for the next eighteen months.
************************************
Mr. Sir : This isn't a Girl Scout camp.
************************************
Mr. Sir : Take a good look around you. What do you see?
Stanley : Not much, Mr. Sir.
Mr. Sir : You see any guard towers?
Stanley : No.
Mr. Sir : How about an electric fence?
Stanley : No, Mr. Sir.
Mr. Sir : You want to run away?
Mr. Sir : If you want to run away, go ahead, start running. I'm not going to stop you.
Mr. Sir : I see you're looking at my gun. Don't worry. I'm not going to shoot you. This is for yellow-spotted lizards. I wouldn't waste a bullet on you.
Stanley : I'm not going to run away.
Mr. Sir : Good thinking. Nobody runs away from here. We don't need a fence. Know why? Because we've got the only water for a hundred miles. You want to run away? You'll be buzzard food in three days.

Mr. Pendanski : My name is easy to remember. Three easy words : pen, dance , key.

 "If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
 "The bark on the tree was just a little bit softer."
 While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely.
 He cries to the moo-oo-oon,
 "If only, if only."
(page 12- Stanley's father's song)
Holy crap!!!!
Shia LaBeouf is the boy who is acting Stanley Yelnats on "Holes". But he was an unattractive, pure child. Now he became a famous actor. He'd played on Transformers series.
He also admitted to having been in a relationship with Isabel Lucas while she was still dating Adrian Grenier and Megan Fox while she was still seeing her now husband Brian Austin Green. So he is also for many women a handsome libertine man right now.
But I think he is just a lucky man, that's all. Fame, power and money attract women and he exactly knows how to use them ;)

Stanley Yelnats 'Caveman' - CHARACTER ANALYSIS

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.

Hidden Secrets at the Camp Green Lake

"If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy." (chapter 2 page 9)
What a crazy thought?!! I don't agree ofcourse. You don't need to dig a hole every day in the hot sun for being good. If you are guilty but you see yourself as a bad person because of what you've done and you have regrets, then you can be a better person in time. It happens by itself. Because of this sentence I understood that there is something important under the ground at the Camp Green Lake. Lets see what's going on there !!

First Impressions- Lovely Movie & Lovely Book

Hello there,
The inspration came to me while I was watching TV. So I turned off it and started to write my first impressions of the book "Holes", which is my semester homework. At the beginning I thought that the book's gonna be boring. The titel wasn't fascinating and the cover picture was meaningless. I mean "Holes", what can it be about? I was not impressed at all!!!!!!! But it isn't how I expected. The book is extraordinarily good. And also I realized that I watched the movie version of the book three years ago. Mostly books are better than movie versions. I loved the movie that's why I think that the book is gonna be lovely, too. Some of my friends have already read the book and they said that the book is the best book we've ever read for homework. I've just read 6 chapter and I think it's enough to prove my thesis.
"There is no lake at Camp Green Lake."
It's the first sentence of the book. If I hadn't watched the film beforehand, I might have been confused. What did autor mean? The name is Camp Green Lake but there is no lake :S I know whole story and I ofcourse there used to be a lake, but now, all that's here are holes. Holes dug by kids who have been sent here for their criminal actions. Ok for now, that's all. I'll go back to my "lovely" book Holes. Bye xoxo 257 words
