In my episode, the theme I am focusing on is this: never give up.
One quotation from Holes that supports the theme here is the following: “The boys all followed Mr. Pendanski as he walked over to X-Ray's hole. Stanley could see the gold tube sticking out of some dirt on the end of X-Ray's shovel. Mr. Pendanski examined it and took a long look at its flat bottom. "I think the Warden is going to like this." "Does X-Ray get the day off?" asked Squid. "Just keep digging until someone says otherwise," Mr. Pendanski said. Then he smiled. "But if I were you, Rex, I wouldn't dig too hard." (Sachar 14).
This shows the theme to never give up because Stanley was pressured into X-Ray the golden tube. Stanley wanted the day off, but he didn’t get it because X-Ray told him to give him whatever he finds. Stanley didn’t give up, and he eventually found the treasure.
Another quotation from Holes that supports the theme here is the following: “Stanley took hold of Zero's forearms and pulled him upright. Then he stooped down and let Zero fall over his right shoulder. He stood up, lifting Zero's worn-out body off the ground.” (Sachar p. 75).
These details show the theme to never give up because in this quote. Stanley picked up Zero. Zero basically fainted, and Stanley could have left him there to die, but instead, he carried him all the way up the mountain.
