Standing Up For Yourself


 Author's Note: I wrote about Stanley Yelnats in the book "Holes". I wanted to show the readers how Stanley started to stick up for himself.

For my character analysis I analyzed Stanley Yelnats from the book Holes. After being blamed for steal a famous MLB player shoes he gets the choice to go to jail or Camp Green Lake. Stanley chose to go to the camp to dig a hole for two years. As the days went on he kept learning what the Warden was looking for and where it was. Throughout the book Stanley became more brave and learned how to stand up for himself. After him and his friend Zero tried to run away they came back to camp and stood up to all the guards and got the Warden arrested for running an illegal site. Threw the book Stanley came to the camp shy and chubby with no friends, but after his time digging holes he made some good friends and became strong and fit. After running away to God’s Thumb, where he found refuge he learned that he needs to stand up to bullies and in his case the warden.
