The student read the novel Holes by Louis Sachar and watched the film adaptation. While some elements like the flashbacks were the same, there were also many differences between the two works. Specifically, Stanley was portrayed as overweight in the book but slim in the film. Additionally, the film omitted some events from the book and changed details like where Kate Barlow stayed upon returning to Camp Green Lake. Overall, the student found the book intriguing but thought the film was better as it was more interesting.

- 2. We have been studying the novel Holes by Louis Sachar. We also watched the film. The film and the book have little amount of similarities but plenty of differences. The flash-backs in the film are the same as the ones in the book. The events and the script are also the same. In the book, Stanley is overweight, but in the film, Stanley is slim. This is a confusing change as being overweight is an important detail to add. The film also misses out some events that the book has. Also, when Kate Barlow came back to Camp Green Lake, she stayed in a shed. Whereas in the film she stayed in the boat. I liked the book because it was very interesting and drew me in, I didn't want to stop reading it. I thought the book could have been a bit scarier and explain it a bit more, but I liked it all the same. The film was still good but it missed out important events and added different parts to it. Overall, I think the film was better as it was more interesting and I enjoyed it more.
