Hi Beth,
Thank you for an amazing lesson on Holes. Here is my homework.
Emily
‘Never judge a book by its cover’ is a fitting moral for this story and probably one of the secondary foundations to the story. In the time which Holes was set. America had become very racist to ‘coloured’ people and African-Americans. In the children’s juvenile detention centre (or Camp Green Lake) most of the children there were actually ‘black people’. This illustrates how unfair the American society was back then, the racist ideas. Most of the people actually turned out nice and friendly kids.
Zero is discarded and considered useless the the other children at Camp Green Lake because he is smaller and quieter than the other kids there (doesn’t speak much.) They all think he doesn’t know how to talk, read, or even have a name so they regard him as stupid, but he is secretly very smart as it shows though the middle to the end of the book.

Hi Beth,
Thank you for a great lesson. Here is my homework.
Emily.
The Importance of the environmental temperature lies in the the base of the story. Digging holes in Camp Green lake is a punishment for a crime they committed. They were exhausted to death because of the scorching hot weather. This makes endlessly digging holes more tiresome due to the rush of finishing before the afternoon, practically always afraid of heat. This builds and supports a few themes like adventure. Towards the final main part of the story, Zero and Stanley already had a lot of their minds, let alone a increased worry of water due to the blazing heat.
This links to the setting names of the places. A main one would be Camp Green lake. It seems ‘Green’ with plants, trees and all that, and you would rather (more obviously) expect this place to plainly have a lake. But it’s the opposite – meaning it doesn’t actually have plants and a lake. Maybe this name would make the reader feel shocked at the unexpected reality of Camp Green lake and triggered. This might cause the reader to take the heat as hotter, more seriously and emphasis the hotness of the barren wasteland.
