Book Summary Sachar writes the humorous plot of Holes in a straightforward manner; however, he weaves into the plot three subplots. The subplots are tall-tale motifs that provide explanations about incidents involving previous Yelnats generations that significantly impact Stanley's life as well as the lives of others. Stanley Yelnats (whose name is palindromic — which means that his last name is his first name spelled backward) is the protagonist (or main character) of the novel. An only child, Stanley lives with his mother and his father, who is an inventor. Unfortunately, only Stanley's parents believe he is innocent. Stanley believes that he has been unjustly accused of stealing the sneakers because of his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." Camp Green Lake is a juvenile correctional camp for boys. Stanley is assigned to Group D and given a cot to sleep on in a tent with the other boys in his group. A.M. and are given a shovel with which to dig a hole.
Holes by Louis Sachar Activities and Lesson Plan using Storyboards! Stanley Yelnats believes his family has been cursed. A story passed from generation to generation says that Elya, his great-great grandfather failed to fulfill a promise to an old gypsy woman, who cursed them. After being mistakenly convicted for stealing a pair of shoes, Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake. The name is deceptive, the camp is a detention center for boys in the middle of the Texan desert. Stanley is thrown into tent D with a diverse mix of other juvenile delinquents, including a quiet boy named Zero. In a secondary plot, readers learn that Green Lake used to be a well-to-do area, rich and abundant, on the edge of a large lake. This first Stanley Yelnats also believed this is because of the Yelnats family curse. These three stories collide when Zero and Stanley run away from the camp.
