Summery: The book was about a men, Who tells the story of the dead person. He is going to a colony called Lusitania somewhere in outer space. It is currently the only alien living planet earth has discovered. But they are in the problem with their natives. The aliens try to get technology, And Humans are trying to learn about their society. But eventually, The humans are evacuating the colony, But in the other worlds, rumor spreads that the evacuation fleet might be armed with Little doctor.
I would recommend this book to:A friend who is a fan of science fiction. Because the story is going on in the alien colony, and there are lot of future technology in the book.

I would make much more unwise decision compared to the main character of the story. Because the main character has living for more then 3000 years, because of the many time travels he did. If he lived more then 3000 years, He had seen thing for 3000 year. But I only had lived for 13 years, so I can't make more wise or better decision.]]> 2021-09-29 23:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jacobbang2028/jacoopsreadersnotebook/wish/1779591396 10/06/21 jacobbang2028 https://padlet.com/jacobbang2028/jacoopsreadersnotebook/wish/1796249299 When the bomb explode on the sky of Hiroshima, many peoples were doing their personal works. the author of this book keeps on talking about the normal survivor that wasn't aware of the attack until it happened.
In this part of the story, I can know that the author of this book focused on the life of the people in Hiroshima who knows then anybody else that the attack can come any time, and it would be special, but don't care about it much. 
The bomb that exploded in the sky of Hiroshima was indeed a very special and dangerous bomb that was ever made in the history of human. It was an Atomic bomb, and the one fell on Hiroshima that day was named Little boy. The Hiroshima people had no idea about this 9700 pound nuclear bomb, and didn't knew how it could effect their life, and thought it was a normal weather plane that flew past the sky of Hiroshima every day.
At this part, I felt that the people in Hiroshima was very stupid and careless. there was lot of rumors about the Next USAF target was Hiroshima, and that the USAF was saving something special for Hiroshima too. If I was one of the citizens in Hiroshima that period of time when the rumor came, I would pack up all my stuff and move to somewhere safe.

2. Imagine yourself as the main character in the story. Would you make a different decision than the character? Explain why or why not.

Answer: If I was the main character of Holes, I wouldn't have many different choices. I wouldn't have made different choices because the condition that the main character was facing didn't gave much chance for the character to decide what to do, and also, the Camp Green Lake, where the main character was forced for labor, had a very strict rule trying to make the teenagers a working machine and didn't gave them much freedom.
