 Kia Ora Team 

In literacy, we have been reading the book holes and learning how to write an essay. We used the structure TEXAS which means 

T - Topic sentence 

E - Explain & expand 

X - Examples

A - Analysis 

S - Summarie 

I enjoined learning about texas because it was fun to figure out what parts belong in an essay. We had to write our Essay on the quote " God will punish you " A girl named Hattie said this in the novel Holes by Louis Sachar, you will find out why she said, " God will punish you " soon if you want to read my Essay! Our essay had to be at least five paragraphs long. I have five with a little conclusion at the end :) 

I wrote my essay on Google docs so here is my essay about " God will punish you" : 

When Hattie said “god will punish you,” I think she's meaning god will punish Trout Walker. Some of the reasons why I think god will punish Trout is because after Sam and Katherine kissed and Hattie caught them Hattie went and told Trout and Trout said that they will be punished. Little did Sam know the punishment was Trout killing him. Katherine’s punishment for kissing Sam was her schoolhouse getting burnt down. After Trout killed Sam, Green Lake dried up and got abandoned. 

Everyone in Green lake left, Passed away and Green Lake turned out to be nothing but bland old land. Trout wasn't happy about Green Lake getting abandoned because his daddy owned the lake and they earned a lot of money and were a rich family. After everyone left the lake wasn't getting used as much and that meant that Trout’s family wasn't getting much money, which meant that Trout’s family was becoming a little poor.

Then something happened that no one was expecting, Katherine became an outlaw. Just because Katherine became an outlaw and changed her name to Kate doesn't mean she does not miss Sam, She misses Sam so much that she's putting her mood on other people. Now that Kate is an outlaw she started killing people and kissed them on the cheek after she had killed them.

Trout didn't like that Sam and Kate liked each other, there are two reasons why. Trout liked Kate and wanted to be the one that kissed Kate instead of Sam and in Green Lake black men aren't allowed to be with white women. Later on, Trout found out that Kate had buried the loot, Trout was desperate to find that loot and was demanding Kate take him to where the loot was buried.

If there was no racism none of this Green Lake drama would have happened and Sam wouldn't have been killed and Katherine wouldn't have become an outlaw and changed to Kate Barlow. Most importantly Green Lake wouldn't have dried up. 

So in conclusion I think that God punished Trout because Green Lake, the lake that his dad owned, dried up and his family became poor and the girl that he liked kissed another man. 

That is my essay :), I hope you enjoined reading it. Have you ever read or watched the movie Holes, Louis Sachar?, Is there anything I could change in my essay?
