Holes Setting
Holes takes place in Green Lake Texas. "There is no lake at Camp Green Lake" (holes 3). There used to be a very pretty lake,but it dried up. It also used to be a very pretty town around it. It had beautiful peach trees bloomed with pink and red blossoms (holes 101).
Holes takes place in the 20th century. All except for the flash backs to the 19th century were Kate Barlow lived. There was a picnic every year at Green Lake. No one even tried to make spiced peaces because they knew no one could make it as good as hers. In the 20th century Green Lake is a dry barren land, with no lake.
