SAMPLE BOOK PUNCH WRITING PROMPTS

Things went wrong a lot for Stanley Yelnats and his parents. It was a family joke. They always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They didn't believe in curses but they seemed to have more than their share of bad luck. Write a paragraph about a time that you felt unlucky.

In the two settings of the realistic novel "Holes," both present and past, the characters live in isolated, lawless environments. Many of the characters take authority into their own hands and act cruelly towards others. Write a multi-paragraph essay that argues that the characters in "Holes" begin to behave cruelly towards others after they have been treated badly themselves. You must write a thesis statement that expresses this opinion, a body of two or three paragraphs to support your statement, and a concluding paragraph that sums up this point of view.
