Answer: Stanley is arrested, Stanley digs a hole, Stanley's grandfather is cursed, Stanley is proud of himself.
Explanation:
In Chapters 6 and 7 of <em>Holes</em> by <em>Louis Sachar</em>, Stanley was first arrested for ''stealing'' baseball player Clyde Livingston’s sneakers. Stanley is then told to dig a hole which he finds hard at first but continues anyway.
The story then goes to Stanley's great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats being cursed for breaking a promise to Madame Zeroni that he would carry her to the top of a mountain and sing to her.
Back to the present, Stanley is still digging and is bleeding from his blisters but keeps going till he finishes and was proud of digging the hole.
Jacks Agueros's “'Agua Viva,' A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez" tells the story of Filthy Fredo, a hermit that collects scrap iron to build creations in his workshop. Filthy Fredo, is mentally unstable, hasn't shave or take a bath in five years, and the only human interaction that he had during the story is with some neighborhood boys which resulted to be violent at first glance. The author uses iron as a metaphor to Fredo's obsessive world, which is impenetrable as the iron creations that he builds for defense against the real world. One excerpt of the story that implies this conclusion is "His house had become the lair of the iron woodchuck, the hive of the iron bee, the storeroom of the iron squirrel, the complex of chambers of the iron ant". The iron served as the metaphoric armor of Fredo, and the only thing he enjoyed to do as a hermit. However, he eventually had to deal with the consequences of the life he decided to live and his inevitable return to society.
