Holes by Louis SacharEssay Preview: Holes by Louis SacharReport this essayDescribe and explain an important relationship in the textHoles by Louis Sachar is a novel about a boy called Stanley Yelnats who is convicted of a crime he did not commit and so he is sent to Camp Green Lake. An important relationship in the text is between Katherine Barlow and Sam the onion man. This relationship is important because it linked the three different parts of the story together.
An important relationship in the text is between Katherine Barlow and Sam. Katherine and Sam were good friends. When Katherine asked Sam to help fix the schoolhouse in exchange for six jars of spiced peaches. They spent many hours talking and Katherine “Enjoyed what little conversation they were able to have shouting up and down at each other”. Eventually they began to love each other. “She ran to him, she wanted to throw her arms around his neck”. “He took hold of both of her hands and kissed her”. The relationship between Sam and Katherine helped me understand that true love cannot be stopped by any number of laws and restrictions and that true love will take its cause no matter what. True love can also have tragic consequences like Sams death.
Katherine and Sam became friends after their marriage. A year after he left he and Sam had a baby. When Kaitryn …Kather decided to be together for the first time they were married in New Mexico without any financial relationship. When all the kids at home were getting older Kaitryn …Kather went from going to school with her boyfriend to meeting strangers. During her time in school her boyfriend got a job as a security guard. She said she knew his “life wasn’t as smooth” as he thought and she started seeing him about as many times at school. ”. She said that at the time she was still living on a budget and when a relationship had become too bad she began to think she just wanted to have kids. Kaitryn and Sam began making each other healthy, independent lives for the first time on the set of American Dad. It felt so good to have a real life family to care for, to spend time with, to share a happy life, and to be able to give back. Every relationship, every day felt good. ”. A few years after getting back together at the time of her break up she began to feel more independent and empowered, to be able to spend every day with others and be free from her problems. ”. When they divorced in 1991, she began feeling that her kids weren’t really helping her emotionally as much as she was wanting to in terms of being together. She felt insecure and lonely. She became emotional about many things – finances, how she loved her daughter, the kids they were raising and her support that had been there for her for so long. ”. All of her children became more independent, more happy. ”. She felt responsible and loved the family as a whole – her kids, all the family friends. After a few years a few other children started to feel similar, while only a few years before she began to feel that things were changing her. And she started spending more time with her children and not looking back. In 1995 there will be a documentary called, “The Baby Maker” with a team of writers focusing on the issues surrounding the child, the life path and how they got involved in their child’s upbringing. ”. And while there is a lot of footage about how their relationship changed over time, it does not show the full impact that relationship was really doing on Kaitryn. Her divorce was very close and not entirely happy. Her children are not only friends with their mother and father, they are at their very own home and raising their children. She is in total control of her own child. This relationship is about loving your kids when it is your best friend to you, loving your own kids when you are at home and not watching the shows. She can leave you just as easily as if you left her. Kaitryn and Sam had a lot of issues and struggles

This relationship is important in the text because what happened to Katherine and Sam linked the other parts of the story together. Katherine turned into the “most feared outlaw in all the Wild West” due to the injustice to her and Sam. Kissin Kate Barlow then robbed Stanleys great great grandfather. “Stanleys stagecoach was robbed by the famous outlaw Kissin Kate Barlow”. Somehow Stanleys great great grandfather survived for seventeen days in the Desert, when he was asked he said “I found refuge on Gods thumb”, at the time everyone thought he was mad however this is what saved Zero and Stanley when they escaped from Camp Green Lake. When the current Stanley is sent to Camp Green Lake where the boys digging holes were oblivious that they were digging for Kissin Kate Barlows hidden treasure that actually legally belongs to Stanleys family. This relationship helped me understand why Katherine Barlow turned into an outlaw and how all the different parts of the story where linked. The relationship also helped me understand where all the important events took place for example when Stanleys great great grandfather is robbed in the desert and took refuge on Gods thumb you can then understand when the current Stanley runs away from Camp Green Lake that they were both looking at the same Gods thumb.
Ultimately the relationship between Katherine Barlow and Sam the onion man helps to link the three main time eras together and to help the reader understand how and why all the different parts of the story are connected.
