Explanation:

In "Holes", Stanley is unfairly treated by people of authority because even the judge described his 'crime' as despicable and that he would either be sent to Camp Green Lake to learn some discipline or he would have to go to jail, and the decision had to be instant.

Actually, Stanley is innocent because he did not steal the shoes, but on his walk home a pair of shoes that had fallen from a freeway overpass fell and struck him on the head and he was charged and convicted for stealing the shoes.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

when reagan refers to freedom in this passage, he uses repetition as a rhetorical device. repetition is when the same words or phrases are repeated few times to make an idea stronger and more unforgettable. in this case, when he talks about freedom, he starts the sentence whit this word followed by a verb in present simple and after an advantage of being free.
