Dialectical Journal For Holes By Elie Wiesel

1610 Words7 Pages

Holes 1. Stanley keeps walking towards the mountain because he feels that there is water there, and he also wants to find Zero. The whole reason Stanley left was because he was worried about Zero. I guess he felt responsible because if he had said no to Zero about digging his hole, none of this would have happened. Before he left to find Zero, he kept asking himself “what if it’s not too late” as in he could still save Zero and maybe he didn’t die. On page 142 Stanley was planning what he could do if he ran away and found Zero; he planned for them to climb the “big thumb”. Then in the book, he did run away, got the truck stuck in a hole, and then ran. He tried following the big thumb. He called the mountain the …show more content…

I think Zero probably felt horrible when the warden said that. The warden was talking about keeping the story simple, she said, “Stanley tried to run away in the night, fell in a hole, and the lizards got him. That’s it. We’re not even going to give them Zero’s body. As far as anybody knows, Zero doesn’t exist.” This probably indicated that no one cared about Zero, and it won't matter if he died. Thinking that myself depresses me! Zero must of felt really bad because he knows that, he has no one to go home to, no one that would care. We know Zero lives alone on the streets, because he revealed that to Stanley earlier. He said that his mom told him to wait at a park but never returned. I think Zero already knows that he is a big nothing, but someone saying that right in front of him reminded him that he has no one. 9. I think it rained right after Stanley, Zero and Ms.Morengo left, because Sam’s curse was put to peace. It didn’t rain again after Sam died, it was obvious that Sam put a curse on the town. Trout Walker was the one to murder Sam for no good reason. Kate Barlow also put a curse which one that, Walkers family could dig for an eternity and still wouldn’t find the loot. Well when Stanley and Zero found the loot, and the warden (who was a Walker) did not. That way Sam was put to peace since, in a way, he got his and Kate’s

    1) In this quote, the term being used is metaphor because Life and Game are two completely different things but they are being compared to each other like if they are similar. 2) I think the author’s purpose for using this term is that he explains that Holden feels alone because he doesn’t feel like he is winning. 3) This quote revolves around the overall theme because it shows that Holden is isolated from everybody around him. 4) • I really like this dislike this idea because Holden is wrong you need to play according to the rules to win not be on the winning side. • I think this idea seems important because it is an inspiration quote to live by even though Holden doesn’t believe it; this is how life goes it is in reality.
