Published in Literature 2 mins read

In the novel "Holes" by Louis Sachar, there are several characters who cry at different points in the story.

  • Stanley Yelnats: Stanley is a young boy who is unjustly sent to Camp Green Lake, a detention camp for boys. He cries when he is first sent to camp, feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. He also cries later on when he realizes the harsh realities of camp life and the unfairness of his situation.
  • Zero: Zero is a young boy who is also sent to Camp Green Lake. He cries when he is separated from Stanley, fearing that he will never see him again. He also cries when he is mistreated by the camp counselors.
  • Miss Katherine: Miss Katherine, also known as Kissin' Kate Barlow, is a former schoolteacher who is now a notorious outlaw. She cries when she remembers her lost love, Sam, and the harsh realities of her life as an outlaw.

While other characters in the story may experience sadness or grief, these three characters are the ones who are specifically described as crying.
