I think that Louis Sachar is NOT racist . I argree to what Mr.Bogart said in class about how Mr.Sachar used the reason of how Sam died to tell us that it is wrong to do that. Also, the whole story really had to connect to this racist thing because if back then the white people weren't against the black people, then Katherine Barlow won't have to escape with Sam and then Sam ends up being killed and she puts her anger and turns into a thief. "You're not in Girl Scouts anymore," Mr.Sir said. Pp.13 Holes From this sentance we can see that it contains some sexism. It says that the girls are weak and I though the way the author used to express the idea is really wrong. I thought he could of changed the way of saying that instead of using something extreme like being sexist.

I think Louis Sachar is not racism or sexism 
although in holes, it really contains a lot of it. I think it's just that at the time in Holes (1970s-1980s), there are many people who are racism or sexism and Louis Sachar just want to show that off in his novel
