THE CHARACTER I DISLIKE THE MOST
İlayda ÇİNER
In the novel Holes, the character I dislike the most is X-Ray. This is because he acts like the official leader of the boys in tent D at Camp Green Lake. He decides that they should call Stanley“ Caveman”. X-Ray also decides everyone’ s place in line for filling the canteens with water. He always insists that he is the leader of the group even though he is one of the shortest boys in Camp Green Lake and can’ t see anything without his glasses. I think that he is so mean to everyone and he is also selfish. For example he told Stanley that if he finds something while digging holes, he should give it to him so he can get a day off just because he has been in Camp Green Lake for a long time! So, when Stanley finds a golden tube, he gives it to X-Ray! X-Ray got a day off and also some extra snacks. That was unfair! I think he is jealous of the others. For instance, when Zero dug Stanley’ s hole, he got really jealous and said a mean thing like“ I will give my cookie to you if you let me dig your hole for you.” So in short, I think X-Ray is mean, selfish and jealous and I don’ t like him.

In Holes, the novel we are reading in Language Arts, the character I like the least is“ Mr. Sir”. I hate Mr. Sir because he has got some serious flaws in his character. Mr. Sir hates the campers, he is always very mean to them. For instance, he treated Stanley incredibly bad when he got scratched by the Warden. He always shouts at the campers when they do something he doesn’ t like. He has got a serious anger management problem, he always acts angrily. Also, I dislike him because he is dangerous, he carries a gun with him and he doesn’ t look like he wouldn’ t want to use it. I think he is a bad guy, he doesn’ t do anything good for anybody. Finally, he is the slave of the evil Warden, he does everything that the Warden wants. These are some of the reasons why I hate Mr. Sir.

Stanley tried to steal the water truck and go save Zero but he drove it straight into a hole. Then he managed to get to his feet and run away. Then he went to the Big Thumb and he found Zero. If I were the main character in my book I wouldn’ t try to drive the water truck because I don’ t know how to drive it. I probably would have filled my canteen before I ran away. However, I would definitely go to Big Thumb and stay away from yellow spotted lizards too. I wouldn’ t drink that 100 year old spiced peach“ sploosh” that they found under the boat either. In the end I would go back to Camp Green Lake. I would try my chance with the Warden.

If I were Stanley Yelnats, in the Holes book, I would first handle Stanley’ s court appearance much better by requesting the camera records recorded near the highway. If I had failed in retrieving the camera records, I would surely choose to go to Camp Green Lake because the jails in the United States are full of serious criminals and I wouldn’ t want to join them. If I were in Stanley’ s situation, when I found out that the Warden was making campers dig holes not to build character but to find Kate Barlow’ s treasure, I would tell the other campers about this and we would refuse to help the Warden find Kate Barlow’ s treasure. If I failed in creating an uproar within the camp against the Warden, I would ask the other campers to come with me to find Zero and escape from Camp Green Lake! Also, I would hit Mr. Sir with the pickup truck before I drove away so that he wouldn’ t be able to catch me. I would definitely take care not to drive into a hole while driving! These are the things I will do if I were Stanley Yelnats.
