In my episode, the theme I am focusing on is this: don’t do good things for people who do not deserve it.
One quotation from Holes that supports the theme here is the following: “Well I’ll show it to Mom X-Ray said picking up the thing he took from Stanley, “ Who knows, maybe I’ll get the day off. “”” (Sachar p. #28).
These details show the theme to not stick up for people who do not deserve it because in this quote, X-ray takes Stanley’s lipstick tube and will get a day off from it and X-ray does nothing for Stanley.
Another quotation from Holes that supports the theme here is the following: “ So tell me Caveman said Mr.Sir “How did my sack of sunflower seeds get in your hole? “ ” (Sachar p. #38).
This shows the theme because Stanley did something good for Magnet and Magnet did nothing for stanley. These details show the theme to not stick up for people who do not deserve it because in this quote, Stanley takes all the blame for Magnet who stole the sunflower seeds and ate them.This shows the theme because Stanley helped out magnet and then magnet never helped him out.
