The repeated words of a lullaby become a symbol of the variability of life, a symbol of the connection between personality and action. The destiny is the key theme in the novel.
The ironic, simple, but not brief language and many dialogues help the reader to understand the characters, to imagine them easy and do not stop reading of the book.
The main character understands gradually the connection of these stories with his life. Century-old legends about this place entwine in the main storyline. Actions occur in America, nowadays, in the desert on a former lake. The plot of the book is dynamic and structured so that the reader knows a little bit more than the main character and therefore understands all the events. This is a metaphorical phrase, which means that in any difficult situation there is a solution, you just need to find it. He says that if you live in a hole all your life, you can only climb up. However, Zero turns out to be a clever boy with deep reasoning. This is Stanley’s friend and the youngest one in the camp, everyone considers him stupid. He always decides by “heart” and not by “head” and helps everyone unselfishly! I would also like to mention another character of the story – Zero or Hector Zeroni. The teenager is not discouraged in the terrible camp and testing himself for strength. The protagonist Stanley Yelnats is the most amazing person.
There are several storylines and many characters in the book. Stanley has to figure out why the destiny threw him into this camp and why they are forced to dig holes. The main character meets the world of constant trials and punishments. The novel tells from third person perspective about the juvenile Stanley Yelnats, who mistakenly went to a correctional camp with the romantic name Green Lake, but this is not a camp of children’s dreams. However, the book finally received the significant name “Holes”: a direct meaning is holes that the characters of the novel dig in desert a metaphor is difficulties, obstacles, complexities that teenagers have to overcome. One of the potential titles of the novel was “Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Kid”.
