1.I think the view of this story is told from a narrator .I think that because in the text it says that,''Stanley Yelnats was given a choice between going to prison or going to Camp Green Lake'',instead of the main character saying I,me,or we you here the narrator telling the story.One more example is that,''His backpack lay on the seat next to him''.Also this is why I think the view of this story is told from a narrator.I think that this changes the way the story is being told because,a narrator really does't capture the emotions of the main character. 2.I think Sachar should have had the main character tell the story rather than a narrator which I kind of think was a bad decision.The reason I think that is because it would be more descriptive and make it more effective.

Na'ima's Response Question 2.

2020-03-17 11:34:08 UTC

Interpretive Question:
In my opinion I think that Sachar made a bad choice by telling the story in 2nd and 3rd person point of views because I like books that are more of a 1st and 2nd person. I don't really like 3rd person books. I just want read all the action from 1st and 2nd person point of view because its makes the story more interesting to me. This is why I think Sachar made a bad choice by telling the story from 2nd and 3rd person point of views.

1. The story is told from 2nd and 3rd person point of view.I think this because the author talks to you at some points in the book.For example, in chapter 1, the author will talk to you.I think this also because the author describes the surroundings and the character. For example, in chapter 1, the book also described that his family was poor.2.I think that the author made a good choice by telling the story from 2nd and 3rd point of view.

The difference between the warden and mr.sir is that mr.sir is nicer than the warden because the warden won’t allow boys to hangout under the shade or on the hammock or dosen’t allow them any shade. It shows me the warden is meant to the boys than mr.sir

I think it is written in 2nd and 3rd paragraph. I know this because the narrator is talking I know this because in chapter 1 the narrator says that no one is aloud in the hamok. he says that before the main character is interduced. I believe

1.This story was written in 2nd and 3rd person point of view in chapters 1-3. I know this because in chapter 1 it says "The campers are forbidden to lie in the hammock".

2. I think that Sachar made a good choice by telling chapters 1 and 3 2nd and 3rd person. I don't think that there should be another point of view.

1. The story is written in third and second person. This is because in chapter 1, the title alone can show that the author is trying t talk to you. Otherwise, in chapter three, the author is talking about Stanley without being in the story. I know this statement is true because in chapter 1 the title is, " You are Entering Camp Green Lake". This title is talking directly to you, making you feel as if you are a part of the story. However, this book is also written in third person. I know that is true because in chapter 3 it says, " He looked out the window, although there wasn't much to see." This shows how Holes is written in third and second person.

2. I think that by choosing two different point of view methods, it makes the book more interesting and intriguing. By choosing third person, I can see that it is easy for me to understand, because it is happening from a third person point of view. However, having second person as a choice for point of view was very interesting as well. This is because in second person the reader is brought into the story. This is extremely effective when trying to grab a reader's attention.

the chapters 1-3 in the book "holes" is in a 2nd and 3rd person. i know this Because the talking to the reader, and in one moment he talks to you without being in the book.

1. In this story it is written in second person and third person. I know this because in chapter one you can show that the author is talking to the reader. For example in the book it says, "The campers are forbidden in the hammock." Secondly, in specifically in chapter three it talks just about Stanley. Stanley isn't talking but the narrator is telling the story of how Stanley got to Camp Green Lake and how his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-grandfather" gave his family bad luck for eternity.

2. I think that by choosing two different types of point of view was a great method and idea to kind spice up the book and make it more interesting and intriguing.

1) I think that the point of view of holes is 3rd person. The narrator can hear everything the characters say and do. Everyone is saying or doing something the narrator knows. For example, The narrator knows Stanley didn't take the shoes because he saw everything. 2) I think the Point Of View of Holes is a good choice because if it was written in something like 1st person, It would only really tell you what Stanley was thinking. If it wasn't told in 3rd person, It would be a whole new way to get used to the story.

1. I think that Stanley was at the wrong time at the wrong place and he was sentenced to Either to the camp or to or prison 2. The main idea is that he was sentenced to the camp to get taught by pain

1.This story is written by third person because narrator is telling a story.I think narrator is telling story because it switching place or person.First it was talking about camping place but it switched to Stanley
2.I think author made good choice by telling story from this point of view because it can describe more specific about story and this point of view can switch person or place easily.But I also think it will be effective if it first person point of view because that way it easy to describe feeling.

1.The story is in second person because the narrator is talking to you through the book.But, it can also be in third person because it is talking about others feelings and thoughts.This influences how the story is being told, because it really shows their background story. 2.I think that it was a good idea for it to be in this point of view, because it really just describes there feelings and thoughts a lot more than some other books that aren't in second and third person.

The story is in 2nd point of view cause the author is talking to in in the chapters.
2. The author made it good in is view because the view was good and the way he has been talking throughout the chapters is effective in telling the story.

Holes is told by the narrator point of view.I this becuase in chapters 1,2, and 3 it uses words like he,she,him, or her instead of words like me, or I.

Donald

2020-03-17 14:41:33 UTC

I think that HOLES is written in 3rd person and 2nd person because it is mostly talking about what is going on but sometimes it is talking to you. An example of this is on page 8 where it says "To be a successful inventor you need three things: intelligence, perseverance, and just a little bit of luck." This POV is very effective and always succeed at leaving readers at cliffhangers.

I think he made a good a choice of telling the story holes in the narrators point of view because he informs you on evreything that's going on in the book right now and what happened before.

1 I think the story is first person and 2end to i know that because the narrator is talking how stanley is making a decision if he goes to campgreen lake.2 I think she or he made a good choice to tell the story in stanley point of view and what aventure he has ahead of him.

Kaelen

2020-03-17 14:49:21 UTC

In the book holes I think its told in a third person review because the narrator is telling the story, not the character in the story is telling the story.The author made the book better in his view because he's gives out more information to the text and it makes the story more interesting to the reader thats reading in the story.

Brianna

2020-03-17 14:54:51 UTC

I think the point of view is told from a 3rd person point of view. I know that 3rd person is when the narrator is not a character in the story and also they tend to focus on one character.In the story Holes, the narrator focuses on Stanley and what is happening to him. In chapter 3 it talks about how Stanley use to play camp with his toys. This is an example of when the narrator focused on Stanley. I think this influence how the story is told by telling the readers more about Stanley, so the reader can get an idea of who he is.

1.In some points of the book it is in 3rd or 2nd person. But there is more then one point of view through out the book. In the beginning the author was tell/describing how Camp Green Lake looked and it was no place like it.

2.I think that Sachar should have told it in his point of view because the author does not know what he is thinking and what he wants to do and when the author told it in his point of view instead of Sachar's point of view it through me off a little.

I think the book would be better if the book was written in first person.The book is written in 3rd person and Also in second because in that in the book it talks about how Stanley's father is named Stanley.But the book also says that I know what you're thinking why would someone go to the camp.I think if the book was written in 1st person it would give more detail but it would just be focused on Stanley.

1.The book holes is written in 2nd and 3rd person.I know this because in chapter 1 the author is talking to us / you.It is also 3rd person because in chapter 3 it said ''He looked out the window although there wasn't much to see.''I know he is a word that people use when something is 3rd person. This is why it is 2nd and 3rd person. 2.I think that the point of view of Holes is a good choice because if it was in 1st person it will just use words like I and me.Also if it was 1st person it will just talk about what Stanley thimks.

The book holes by Louis Sachar is written in third person point of view .I know this because the author tends to use he alot , and the narrator is not a character in the story ,but it tends to focus on one character .Some sentences that include the word he are He had never been to camp before ,and He was on a long bus ride to nowhere .
This novel is written in 3rd because of the amount of "He's" being used.
Louis has made this book alot more interesting and different by making it a different point of view. When i read the title I thought it would be 1st person but i had a nice experience because it was third. So i think sachar made a great decision to write his book in 3rd.Maybe the book would be different if it was written in first.It would show Stanley's thoughts ,feelings,and show why Stanley was arrested .

1. I think the point of view told from the story was told by 2 point of views, 2nd and 3rd person. I said that because 2nd person use [you] and 3rd person use [he or his]. So in chapter 1-3 it use the key words [you, he, or his.]
2. If the story holes was told in 1st it would have more actions, feelings, and details in the story. Because 1st person tells the felling of the characters in the story. That is why I want the Holes being told in 1st person because it is more exciting.

Jayda R.

2020-03-17 15:40:32 UTC

1. I think the point of view of Holes is 3rd person. I know this because the narrator is not in the story and it focuses on Stanley.

2. Yes, I think Sachar made a good choice to make it in 3^rd person. Because it would sound very different. No, I don’t think another point of view would be as effective.

Sarai N.

2020-03-17 15:49:07 UTC

1.I think that the point of view is third person because the narrator is the one who is telling the story, I know this because in those chapters it doesn’t say I,me ,or,we,you .
2. I think it will be better if the person who is telling the story is the main character because if the main character had to tell the story it will have more information and details.

1. This story is told in third person point of view. I know this because third person is when the narrator is not in the story and focuses on one character in the book only. That is what is being shown. The narrator is not in the story but only explains things that are happening in the story. Also the narrator only focuses on Stanley in the story. When we read the book we only know what is happening on Stanley's side of things.that is why it is in third person.
2. This influences how the story would be told by having the narrator only focus on Stanley. I f the narrator focused on everyone it would be different.

Devin

2020-03-17 15:57:16 UTC

1. I think that the point of view of the story is third and second person because in the book holes the second chapter it says “the readers is probably wondering why would anyone would want to go to camp green lake “. How I know this is third person too is that the author is talking about what is green lake, how did people go to green lake and how did green lake form.

2. No because the story it is told by third person point which is somebody else story and It could written by someone else first person could be could better because it talking about what they about going through.it can also talks about how they feel and how are they doing .

Gavin Holes chapters 1-3

1. The story is written in 2nd and 3rd person. I know this because it is where the narrator tells the story to another character using the word you. We know it was written in 3rd person because the author used words like he, she, and, it.

2. I like that the Holes is written in 2nd and 3rd person point of views so that the author can tell multiple characters side to the story. If it was in 1st person, it would not talk about the other characters. It would just talk about what Stanley is thinking about.

P

2020-03-17 16:10:13 UTC

1. The book is in second and third person because in chapter one the author is speaking to us or you. Also because in chapter three it said " he looked out the window although there wasn't much to see." which states this is in 3rd person

2. I think this is a good point of view because it uses the word such as " I " and "me".and it talks bout what Stanley Tenants thinks and says.

Hana

2020-03-17 16:10:49 UTC

1.In this story it is written in 2nd and 3rd person. I know because the chapter is talking about a reader.
2. I think that poit of view of holes is amazing. The holes book is hard for me to understand.But the hole book is good.

Nijah

2020-03-17 16:16:14 UTC

1. In the book 'Holes' by Louis Sachar, The story is told in a 2nd and 3rd person point of view I know this because in chapter 1 the narrator says"But you don't want to be bitten by a yellow spotted lizard.That's the worst thing that can happen to you.You will die a slow and painful death." But then in chapter 2 the author says"Stanley Yelnats was given a choice" This is what leads me to believe that there are 2 points of view in this story.

2.I think that the author (Louis Sachar) made a good choice of putting this book in 2nd and 3rd person views because I like the way that the story is told,this book ( personally) wouldn't make a good 1st person book just because of the way that the author wrote it,if he where to go back and change this book into 1st person it wouldn't be as interesting as it is now.

Angela

2020-03-17 16:27:01 UTC

1. I think the book "Holes" is told in 3rd person point of view because the narrator is not a character in the story and it focuses on several characters. It also uses a lot of keywords such as he and she.

2. I feel like Sachar should've written the book in Stanley's point of view. If Sachar wrote the book in 1st person POV then we would get more on what Stanley thinks about Camp Green Lake Stanley could also talk about the other people at Camp Green Lake and what he thought of them.

1.)
The story is told from third person point of view because Lewis writes about what is happening around Stanley, and what he thinks.It is also old from second person point of view because Lewis also writes like he is talking to you sometimes.

2.)
I enjoy holes being written in third person pint of view and second person point of view, because the parts where Lewis talks to you stands out to you and gives an impression of how this book is written. Third person point of view is my second favorite point of view, so I really like that.

Alicia Holes chapters 1-3

1.} I think the story is told in 3rd and 2nd person. I think this because { So Far } the book mostly talks about Stanley and other things related to him. But the book also talks about other people than just Stanley. So far the book as talked about Stanley, Stanley’s father, and Stanley’s No-Good-Dirty-Rotten-Pig-Stealing-Great Grandfather.
2.} I also think this book would have way more details if it was written in first person. We { Probably } would find out how Stanley feels or what he’s thinking. We also may find out why he’s handcuffed. At the same time I think Sachar made a Good Choice by telling the book in 3rd/ 2nd person.

1) I think the story is told in 3rd and 2nd point of view because Lewis is writing about Stanley and the things that are happening to him.It is also told in 2nd person because sometimes when Lewis writes its like he is talking to the reader. 2) I like how Holes is written in 3rd and 2nd point of view because when it is 2nd POV it stands out and shows how the story will be told.I like that it is also written in 3rd POV because it shows there feelings and what they are going through.

WILLIAM

2020-03-17 18:12:02 UTC

I think the story is in 3rd person because it has been talking about a lot of people like stanley and no good dirty rotten pig stealing great grand father.

Levi.S

2020-03-17 18:53:14 UTC

I think that the story is told in 3rd person and 2nd person because in the book it says, "here is a good rule to remember about rattlesnakes and scorpions: if you don't bother them thy wont bother you". The author is talking to you and giving advice.

Ferit

2020-03-17 19:02:50 UTC

1.I think the story is told in 3rd and 2nd point of view because the story does not include words like "I" or "me".This influences how the story is told by being able to talk about what other people think too, not only Stanley.

2. Sachar made a good choice by choosing the 3rd point of view so it could write what other people in the story thinks.I do not think an another point of view would be better.

JUAN - HOLES CHAPTERS 1-3

2020-03-17 19:29:05 UTC

QUESTION 1:
The story about Stanley is told in the third person, as the author is talking about the lives of people other than himself. An example of this is when it says:
Chapter 2: "Children who have committed crimes are sent to Camp Green Lake"
Chapter 3: "Stanley travels to Camp Green Lake in a bus with the bus driver and a guard with a gun"

QUESTION 2:

When the story is told in the third person, the risk of ignoring the feelings of the protagonist runs. However, the author may have specified feelings such as: sadness or anger and did not do so.

Na'ima's Response Question 1.

2020-03-18 18:23:34 UTC

This story is told from 2nd and 3rd person point of view. The keywords to know if the story is told in 2nd person point of view is you, you're, and yours. The keywords to know if the story is told in 3rd person is he and she. In the text it states," If you take a bad boy and make him dig a whole every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy. He just never had any luck." Now that I know that this story is told in 2nd and 3rd person it let's me think that the person who wrote this book had some connection with Stanley or the Yelnats.

Samuel -Holes Chapter 1-3

2020-03-18 21:56:03 UTC

1) I think the story is told in 3rd person point of view how I know this is, because the narrator uses he and his, which is Stanley.And also how I know this is the narrator does not include I and Me. 2)I think Sachar made a good choice by using 3rd person point of view because it make's the story more interesting.And I think another persons point of view will make it more effective.

Dayla's Response

2020-03-19 00:03:25 UTC

I think the story is told in third person. In the story, the author uses words like he and his. Plus, the author uses dialog from Stanley himself and other characters. The story was deffenitly not in first or second view, I also know it was not omnistiont because the other only shares Stanley's thoughts.
2) I think Sachar made a good choice by choosing third person point of view. It makes the story more interesting and understandable.

2020-03-20 02:49:45 UTC

Ayomide response to holes
It is a third person point of view and is basically being told by Stanley but by the author and is told in his past and present.

Samir Response

jonesamir — 2020-03-20 03:39:24 UTC

1)I think the story is told in third and second point of view because the key words in the story was your's, your, you he, his, him. 2) It was a good chose for Sachar to read it in third person because it would know all the characters thoughts, fellings, actions it makes the story more better and understandable.

I think that the story is in third person. Because this part is not said in Stanley's words or other people's words
