HOLES SUMMARY

This is my summary by far. 


Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather, is sent to Camp Green Lake. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day. As Stanley continues to dig holes and meet the other boys at the camp and the story reviles the why Stanley's family has a curse. When he was a boy, Stanley's great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats from Madam Zeroni. In exchange for a promise ,Elya's promise was that after the pig grew strong he would carry Madame Zeroni, who only had one leg, up a mountain and sing her a song that she had taught him. As Elya's prepose to Myra he brought his pig because the one who has the bigger pig gets to marry Myra and Elya's and the other man's pig was the same. So Myra's father let her choose and she was very confused. So Elya got mad and ran away, as Elya was running to a boat to move to America he forgot his promise to Madam Zeroni. Elya marries and has a child in America and always thinks about Madame Zeroni.

 One hundred and ten years before Stanley arrives at Camp Green Lake, the town of Green Lake is a beautiful place where peach trees bloom throughout the spring. In this Texas town, the schoolteacher, Katherine Barlow, falls in love with Sam, the onion seller. While Katherine and Sam are alive, racism is institutionalized in the United States and it is against the law for a black man to kiss a white woman. Because Sam is black and Katherine is white, the people in the town become irate when they find that Katherine and Sam have kissed. Then Charles Walker or Trout Walker found out that they kissed so Charles Walker putted Miss Kartherine's school on fire. So miss Katherine was running to the sherif and the sherif is in the same team as Trout Walker. Katherine and Sam attempt to escape but their boat is destroyed while only half way across the lake and Sam is killed.  Katherine is driven mad by her grief and becomes an outlaw known as Kissin' Kate Barlow. Her name refers to the fact that she kisses the men she kills, leaving a lipstick imprint of her lips on their faces. In her twenty years of robbing people in the west, she happens to rob Stanley's great- grandfather while he is on his way from New York to California. Because Green Lake dries up, the citizens of the town all move away and by the time that the land is serving as Camp Green Lake.At one point Stanley digs up half of a lipstick tube that has the initials KB on it. Although Stanley and Zero, also known as Hector Zeroni, do not know it, Hector is the great- great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni.
