Negative Effects Of Cruelty In Holes By Louis Sachar

Decent Essays
Another important idea from the novel Holes by Louis Sachar is the negative effects of cruelty. This is shown in many way about how cruelty exits in large amounts at Camp Green Lake, and its negative results are frequently shown throughout the novel. The cruelty that Sam and Kate face in the main town of Green Lake pushed Kate to become cruel herself. This causes her to kill and rob innocent people that she doesn't even know. This is shown in real life when bad people who grew up in a negative house hold go onto the streets and murder Innocent people or rob shopkeepers for no reason. There is nothing behind this sort of heated in the world. Just because someone treats you cruelty doesn't mean you have to change yourself. This is shown again
