#Holes by Louis Sachar

if you were a fan of Holes by Louis Sachar but don’t support reparations, or acknowledge the story’s fundamental message about healing generational trauma then i’m sorry but ur bad at consuming media

It's been over ten years since I first read it, but I still think the story of Miss Katherine and Sam the onion man is one of the most tragic romances put to page.

The movie adaptation of Holes by Louis Sachar is such a perfect adaptation, and part of that is its faithfulness. It's like they know that they have a good, meaty story to work with, all they need to do is tell it well. And they do.

i love looking up fandom's and seeing if there's fanfiction centered around it, because in every fandom, there's always a small group of people absolutely committed to keeping it alive. and it's always fandom's i didn't even know exsisted (or had fanfiction).

Hardcover rebind of Holes by Louis Sachar! My paperback cover was starting to flake away, so I did my best to rescue it. The bookcloth is Eister Duo, and all of the decals are HTV. I only had enough confidence to put a single actual hole into the cover (right through the O!) although I briefly considered riddling the whole cover case with them - the idea was dismissed because of Structural Concerns. Maybe next time.

A brief attempt at speckling the edges was made (yellow, for yellow spotted lizards). It doesn't look very good - I blame my no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather for this, and all other imperfections.

This winner of the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award features Stanley Yelnats, a kid who is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake: the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime, punishment, and redemption.

i just realized something about Holes the book and also Holes the movie

It always felt a little inconsistent to me—why do so many characters treat Zero so differently from the way they treat the other boys? The adults at camp don’t have a lot of respect for any of the boys but with Zero they don’t even try to hide it. Mr. Pendanski—the “touchy feely” counselor—says the cruelest, most insulting shit to Zero right in front of everyone, and doesn’t seem to care who hears it.

Pendanski is at least pretending to be a child psychologist. Even though he’s defrauding the state, you get the sense he likes to think of himself as a half-decent therapist. So why doesn’t he make “showing Hector Zeroni a semblance of basic human respect” part of his good-social-worker act?

it’s because Zero’s mentally disabled. That’s why Pendanski doesn’t bother—even the respectable doctors won’t expect Pendanski to acknowledge Hector’s agency. It’s why none of the adults seem surprised that Zero can’t read, and why they assume he could never learn. It’s why everyone treats him with equal parts pity, contempt, and neglect. It wasn’t inconsistent characterization it was ableism the whole time

#holes 2003 #holes louis sachar #holes book #wow that sure is a hell of a media to try to tag accurately huh #it was ableism all along

This is a Mr. Pendanski hate-zone, btw. God, I forgot how much of an asshole he is, especially to Hector.

Go die in a hole (heh) you two-faced bitch >:-(

i started reading holes for the first time today! i've seen the movie a couple times and really loved it, and i'm enjoying the book so far too!

it's really cool how so many different stories are interwoven (stanley at camp green lake, elya yelnats and madam zeroni, kate and sam, kate and stanley yelnats the first), and how you slowly start to see how they're all related. i always thought the story was SO well constructed!

also, kate and sam will always make me cry, everything about their story is absolutely devastating
