Character Analysis

Author's Note: I wrote thus piece to show that sometimes you just need to stand up for yourself. Please look
at my word choice.

For my character analysis I am doing Stanley Yelnats from the book Holes. In the beginning of the book Stanley is a weak overweight nerd who gets bullied everyday at school and doesn't do anything about it. But then Stanley is accused of stealing a famous baseball players shoes but they really just fell on him, and he must go to either jail or camp Green Lake. He decides to go to camp. When he gets to camp Green Lake he expects to just drag along and go with the flow for 18 months. But then he meets Armpit and X-ray. Armpit and X-ray have been there for a while and they show Stanley that you can’t drag yourself along you have to work for it. Stanley loses weight gains mental and physical strength. When Stanley came home he surprised everyone with how in shape he was and how intelligent he was. Back at school no one wanted to bully him but if they did Stanley could stand up for himself.
