Please read p. 95-139 (Chapters 22-30) of Holes.

 

Based on our discussion of superstitions in class, answer the following:

What superstition exists in the novel Holes? Is there more than one? How does the belief in each superstition shape the lives of the characters in the story? Consider Elya Yelnats and Madame Zaroni (no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather...) The Warden, her grandfather, and the holes being dug at Camp Greenlake. Do you have any superstitions?

 

Please print out the word search you received via email. We will complete it next week in class.

It seemed like a place which is cursed, and someone who sell onions dead in there, because of the gold and treasure maybe, and they believe the treasure is still in there, if someone find it, he\she will live forever and have a large amount money. For me, my family all believe Buddhism, and they will go to some famous temples during vacations, but I don't trust the Buddha, I think it is fake.
