Holes Essay

Rabbit Proof Fence has been published both as a book and as a movie. Being a reader or a viewer entirely changes our point of view on the story. As a reader, we get descriptive insight on the situations and emotions of the characters. We are then able to re-create these visually using our imagination and have endless freedom doing so. As a viewer, our creativity is somewhat restricted. We do not imagine the characters’ physical appearance, the locations or the overall situations in the same way as in a book. These elements are already given to us. Throughout this essay I will be exploring how the music and the filming creates a contrast between reading the book with elaborate descriptions.

The story Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, who has the worst luck in the entire world because his great, great grandpa was cursed and he is sent to a Juvenile Camp in the desert called Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. The boys spend their days digging holes in the desert because the counselors tell them that it helps them build character. Camp Green Lake is full of holes that are 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide, with nothing but a dry lake bed. The Warden of Camp Green Lake is keeping a secret about all the holes she has the boys digging. Stanley and his friend Zero are trying to serve their time and figure out what the Warden is hiding.

Through the masking of narrative, secret window exposes order and chaos. The use of mise en scene throughout the first scene

2) What are some of the themes that are central to the film? How have they been communicated?

Hole is a story written about a boy and his friend who dies by falling into a hole when he was ten and the boy was eleven and recalling and reflecting on the events that transpired. In The Catcher in the Rye there is a similar event that occurs in Holden’s life around the time he was thirteen and his youngest brother, Ali, was ten, in which Ali dies from leukemia. Both stories feature boys that are ten and ones that are slightly older.

This is a perfectly painted picture of what is the platform for the rest of the movie. The main ideas that Scott establishes are developed very well through cinematography and the soundtrack. His use of textbook techniques from the film noir era bring the movie to a new level which it wouldn’t have otherwise. The soundtrack gives us a bleak and often disconnected feeling that compliments the cinematography, specifically in the interrogation scene at the start of the movie and in the closing scenes when it starts raining as Roy Batty prepares to die. Both these scenes are filled with poignant cinematography and appropriately stark and/or 'biting' sound, and typify the rest of the movie.

Whilst reading the novel, I never experienced any passion or emotion. I felt that the novel was descriptive but just not captivating to audiences. When reading "Holes" I definitely found myself losing focus and interest. This may be due to the slow pace and difficulty to picture each scene realistically. Time after time, I found myself unengaged and unwilling to continue the novel due to its lack of emotional description. However, in the movie, actually watching the scenes be bought to life engaged audiences and, during major scenes in the plot, enhanced the audiences experience using drama, realism and passion.

However, in “Holes”, the setting there is dry, hot, and it’s a punishment for the boys for people troublemakers. They’re supposed to dig holes until they physically can’t dig anymore.

Stanley is in Camp Green Lake. Stanley was surprised that there wasn’t a lake “There is no lake at Camp Green Lake” Stanley said. So Stanley met new people their names were Armpit, Zigzag, and Zero they showed Stanley around the camp. Everybody at the camp had to dig holes. Stanley didn’t like digging holes because it will hurt his hand, feet, and he starts to get tired easily. The good thing for Stanley was he was big so it will be easier for him.

The book Holes, written by Louis Sachar and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, is a young adult mystery and adventure novel. It was published on August 20, 1998, and won a Newberry and National Book Award. The novel follows an overweight Stanley Yelnats as he is wrongfully accused of stealing shoes and is sent to Camp Green lake.

The script uses some of the fundamentals that make for a successful thriller, such an isolated setting in a gothic Victorian house, strange noises, horrifying visuals, the sense of being watched, tease attacks, and the threat of

In the novel and film ‘Holes’ written by Sachar and directed by Andrew Davis, there is a scene where, after Stanley discoverers Zero is in a flipped over boat the two boys decided to find refuge on god’s thumb by climbing the mountain. This scene in the novel and film have both differences and similarities. The characters involved in this scene are only Zero and Stanley as the scene occurs after the two had run away from Camp Green Lake. The main events that occurs in this scene is that the two boys reach the edge of the dried lake and decide to climb the mountain. Both scenes are relatively similar in length, with the movie version being slightly shorter once the boys reach the top of the mountain.

In the multi-language comedic drama Mystery Train, the analysis of narrative vs narration, character motivation, goals, narrative complexity, as well as other techniques such as colour, sound and mise-en-scene are useful tools that help the audience understand the social commentary and meaning that underlies the film.

What comes to mind when you think of paradise? As the world becomes more populated, technology advances, and cities expand, people from across the country have been driven to escape the stress of urban life. Not everyone is lucky enough to appreciate the beauty of nature but for those who can, Montana is tantalizing. The western state is best defined by its diverse terrain that includes the Rocky Mountains, Glacier National Park, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, and a portion of Yellowstone National Park. Amongst the snow-capped peaks are alpine hiking trails and countless rivers filled with several species of trout such as rainbow and westslope cutthroat. Many of the solitary trout fishing waters of Montana have
