Holes Summary

This is my summary of the book holes. 

Stanley Yelnats is just a regular kid until one day he found a shoe who belonged to a baseball player, Clyde Livingston. The fact that Stanley's family is cursed, he and his family always had a bad luck. His family got a curse because of his great great grandfather, Elya Yelnats who made a deal with Madam Zeroni to carry a pig to the mountains while singing a song. He has to do it until the pig grew strong and big. He made this agreement to mary a girl called Myra. After the pig grew big, Elya is suppose to carry Madame Zeroni to the mountains. If he didnt do it, then his family will be cursed. He then forgot to do it because of the distraction of his love life. He then left to move to America and he got married with another women there. But everyday he kept thinking about the promise he make with Madame Zeroni.

Stanley was then given a choice by the judge. He was suppose to choose whether to go to jail or Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a dried up place. There used to be a lake there. Everyday, Stanley has to dig a hole that is 5 feet deep and 5 feet long. Stanley is given two sets of clothes. He then met new friends such as Armpit, Zig Zag, Zero, X-Ray and many more. The Camp Green Lake is guarded by Mr. Sir, Mr. Pendanski and the Warden. In camp green lake, they had to be careful of Yellow Spotted Lizards. If one of them got bitten by that lizard, he would die slowly. 

Around one hundred years before Camp Green Lake, the green lake town is a beautiful town. The lake is still there and there are beautiful Peach trees grow and more. Katherine Barlow, which is called as Kate Barlow, was a school teacher. She then falls in love with an onion seller, Sam. Because of the slavery, Sam is not allowed to have a relationship with Kate Barlow because he is black and its against the rule for black people to have a relationship with white people unless the white people allowed it.

One day, Sam kissed Kate but then Trout Walker, a rich guy saw them kissed. Trout is obviously not happy with it. So then he set Miss Katherine's school on fire. Miss Katherine then ran to the sheriff to get some help but then the sheriff was also angry. Miss Katherine then ran to Sam and told him to escape but then while they are escaping, one of Trout Walker's men catch up to them and then they murdered Sam. 

Katherine Barlow then became an outlaw. Her first victim is the sheriff. She shot the sheriff in the head. After killing him, she then kissed his chick to leave a lipstick mark on sheriff's face. She was then known as Kissin Kate Barlow. She started killing a lot of people and robbing them. But then she also robbed from Stanley's great grandfather. The Green Lake then dried up since they killed Sam, causing all people to move from there. 

Stanley then made an agreement with Zero. If Stanley teaches Zero how to read, Zero would helped Stanley to dig his hole. One day Zero told Stanley that his real name is Hector Zeroni. That means that Hector Zeroni is the great great great grandson of Madame Zeroni.

YouTubing

I'm gonna talk about Youtubing. I'm sure everyone knows YouTube so yeah. 

I love watching YouTube videos. It can make you laugh, it can also be for study and other stuff. 

Watching YouTube videos is kinda like my routine (I literally watch YouTube everyday) and probably not only me. 

You can post some videos that you think it will entertain people and then you will get subscribers. You can also comment other people's videos and other stuff. 

YouTube is also a great place to make money. If you have a lot of subscribers, YouTube will pay you. 

In YouTube, I like to watch gaming videos, one of the gaming channels that I like to watch is Chris Smoove. Chris Smoove plays NBA 2k, madden, black ops, GTA and many more. The reason why I like him is that I find him funny and good at what he's doing. He also gives some interesting information through his videos like what's going on with the world and many things. Basically I love watching comedy videos on YouTube.

What's your favourite channel? Do you know Chris Smoove? If yes, let me know in the comments below.

Elgin Baylor's Birthday

JdIt's Elgin Baylor's 80th birthday! If you don't who he is, let me tell you. 

Elgin Baylor used to be a Minneapolis Lakers (it's now Los Angeles Lakers) and he is a 11 time all star. He was drafted by the Minneapolis Lakers on 1958 first round. 

In his rookie year, he averaged 24.9 points per game and 15 rebounds per game. He won the rookie of the year award. 

 After that, he's average is rising to 34.8 and 38.3. He also set the NBA record for most points in a game he scored 71 points and grabbed 25 rebounds while playing against the Knicks ( the record is broken by Wilt Chamberlain he scored 100 also while playing the Knicks)

Because Elgin Baylor used to be a US army reservists, he was called to active duty in the 1961-1962 season. That's why he only played 48 games. But he still scored more than 1.800 points (not in one game) 

In the NBA finals, he set the NBA finals most points scored by scoring 61 points in one game and it's now still haven't been broken. 

Unfortunately, he didn't  won any championship. Baylor was selected as a Hall of Famer on 1977 and the Lakers retire his jersey number (he wore number 22). 

This is Elgin Baylor

Those are the jersey that is retired by the Lakers (Elgin Baylor is number 22)

My iTunes

I'm going to talk about my iTunes. First of all iTunes is an application for Apple designs. There's iTunes in almost every apple products such as MacBook, iMac, iPhone, iPad, iPod and more.

So iTunes is filled with some songs, movies, Radio and more. From iTunes, you can also download musics and movies. When you download stuff from iTunes, you have to pay. for music, it usually costs around $ 1.29 and for movies it cost around 20 dollars. for movies, you can also rent it for a certain amount of time (I don't know how long). 

You can also download some apps/games from the app store and put it on your device (not computer to computer) but you can't play it because its a mobile game so you can't play it on your computer. If you don't have any music in your iPhone, you can put some songs from your computer. You just have to connect your iPhone (by the way you can do this with iPad and other devices) and just sync it. 

So that is iTunes, now I'm going to talk about what's inside my iTunes. Inside my iTunes, I have so many songs and movies. I got them from my friends and some of it I downloaded from the internet (I bet everyone does that so don't get mad). I have many genres of songs. My favorite genre is Pop. I love Calvin Harris. His genre of songs is Techno. Techno is like dubstep. 

I also have some movies. Mostly is comedy movies. I love comedy movies where there is Zach Galifianakis in it. I find him funny and entertaining. I have like a lot of them and sometimes if I'm bored, I just go to my iTunes because my iTunes can entertain me.

My Weekend

In my weekend, I spent time with my family. At Saturday, I go to the salon of dogs with my dog. So there, he gets treatment. First they want to clean his fur so there will be no lice on his fur. Second they showered his body so it would be clean and it would smell nice. After that, they cut his nails so it wont be sharp or long. After that, they cleaned his private parts and yeah.

After I'm done, I go to my basketball lesson with my friend, Ihya. He's in Year 10. We practice basketball together from 2 pm until 4pm. We had fun time there. The team is called KABC. I don't know the meaning of the name because I am new there. After that I got home and rest.

At Sunday, I stayed at home and I spent my time with my brother and sister watching TV. And because its Sunday, we can order food. So me, my brother and my sister agreed to order McDonald's (I want KFC but they don't like KFC)

Friday Reading

Today at friday I read a book called "The Kite Runner" It's about this two kids named Amir and Hassan. The story is quite interesting for me because it changes subject like it doesnt keep talking about the same thing over and over again.

The name of the author is Khaled Hosseini. He release 2 the kite runner books, one is the novel and one is the graphic novel (its like a comic). He has released a lot more novels like A Thousand Splended Sun, And the Mountains Echoed and more.

I didn't finished reading the book because the time is up. I read until the part where there's this exploading part and Amir said its part of this Afghanistan Monarcy.
