 Homework Activity

Complete the activity below.

1. Think about this: In Holes, Elya Yelnats breaks his promise to Madame Zeroni and so his
descendants are cursed with bad luck. There are many other stories that involve curses. For
example, in Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is not invited to the princess’s birth, and so she curses
the princess, saying the princess will prick her finger on her sixteenth birthday and fall asleep
forever.
Imagine a new curse for people who do something you don’t like. It could be a curse for people
who mistreat animals, or who waste food, or who throw their garbage on the ground. In the box
below, explain who your curse if for, and what sort of thing happens to them after they are
cursed.

mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to

criticize something in a humorous way."

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sarcasm

Example:

"You have been working hard," he said with heavy sarcasm, as he looked at the empty page "

Mark Twain or Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21,
1910),[1] better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist,
entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer (1875) and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885),[2] the latter often
called "The Great American Novel".
 Now in your words, try to describe the meanings of these quotes below and write
whether you think they are using sarcasm or irony.

1." When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old
man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned
in seven years."

 Holes Characterization

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQAjwJ9XLz8&feature=youtu.be

Dear students, we talked about direct characterization and indirect characterization in class. Use
your notes and this video below to help. * USE YOUR OWN WORDS NOT FROM THE VIDEO!
Below is a list of the characters I’d like you to describe very simply (introduce them)- either with
the direct things written about them in the book, or things we can conclude about them from
others (indirectly).
*Use as many adjectives as you can to talk about the characterization/personality of each.

Part 1. Meet the Characters:

Stanley Yelnats

Zero

The Warden

X-Ray

26 | P a g e
 Mr. Pendanski

Miss Katherine (Kissin' Kate Barlow)

Armpit

Elya Yelnats

Mr. Sir

Myra

Part 2*(Optional) Your chance to create:

If you could create another of your own characters for HOLES, who might it be, and
what would he or she be like? Write 50 -75 words about your character with a name,
description, and background information. *Attach this on separate A4 paper.

27 | P a g e
 Extension Activities
Choose one of the activities below to complete.

1. One of the themes in this story is the unexpected consequences of words. Think about how
many characters were affected by Elyas Yelnats’ broken promise to Madame Zeroni, or by
Hattie Parker’s decision to tell the rest of the town about Katherine and Sam. Write a
paragraph discussing the power of words in this story.
2. Maybe you, like Stanley, have been accused of something you didn’t do. Were you punished?
Or were you able to prove that you were innocent? Write a paragraph about this experience,
and how it made you feel. (If you haven’t had an experience like this, you can write about
someone you know.)
3. The people of Green Lake told Katherine that God would punish her for what she did. Think
about this quote from the book: “This all happened one hundred and ten years ago. Since then,
not one drop of rain has fallen on Green Lake. You make the decision. Whom did God punish?”
Write a paragraph explaining this quote and responding to the question.
