Holes Written by Louis Sacher

Have you ever had a friend who you would die for? Well Stanley Yelnats put his life on the line to save his mate Zero. This is an example of true friendship.

 The novel “Holes” written by Louis Sacher is a novel that resolves around friendship and should be studied in year 8 next year. This novel shows examples of text structures and language features and relevant teenage issues which is why. Holes should be studied next year.

Friendship is one of the main issues today the novel “Holes" by Louis Sacher discusses this theme in the novel. Stanley and his friends show a perfect example of friendship, this is because they take a bit to get to know, Stanley’s personality and features because they all have nicknames for each other that describes there features or personality. They ended up naming Stanley Caveman because he found a fossil in his hole, and because friendship is an issue today holes should be studied by year 8 next year.

The novel “Holes” uses a lot of language features and text structures throughout the novel. The best language feature in my opinion is a very rarely used one called palindrome. The language feature palindrome is used in Stanley’s full name Stanley Yelnats I find this very smart by the author Louis Sacher to use such an uncommon language feature in the main characters name.  A palindrome is a word that can be spelt backwards and still be pronounced and seen the same. This is also why the novel holes should be studied in year 8 in 2015.

I hope I have convinced you that holes discusses relevant teenage issues and is a very unique novel written by an excellent author and should be studied by year 8 in years to come.
