New Book!
‘Hem ‘hem. Well it is lovely to be back, I must say! And to see such happy little faces looking up at me! (Of course it’s only in my head, but why on earth should that mean that it’s not real?) Now then, enough of these Harry Potter references, let’s move on to another series of blog entries, this time about a children’s book called “Holes” written in 1998 by American author Louis Sachar.
Firstly I want to make it clear that this is not a book of my own choice but a school assignment. Now, having that said I shall conclude the introduction bit so as to rise to the challenge by limiting myself to an upper limit of 250 words per entry.
The plot revolves around a middle school boy called Stanley who is sent to Camp Green Lake Juvenile Correction Facility for a crime he did not commit. Contrary to popular belief, Camp Green Lake is neither a lake (it has been dried out hundreds of years ago), nor a proper camp. Well, if you count waking up at 4:30 to dig up holes all day for no reason except perhaps for “turning into good boys”, "proper camping". Surely there is another reason for digging up holes and I believe it’s quite obvious that the camp’s officials are looking for something buried deep under the crusty surface of the “Lake”.
To be continued...
sorry, I simply can't write short entries so I'll just divide this one into two parts :) I won't be breaking any rules now, will I ?
