A  Series  Of  Unfortunate  Events  The  Bad  Beginning    

By  Maya  The  Baudelaire  orphans  are  rich,  smart  and  charming.  Violet,  Sunny  and  Klaus  live  the  dream  life.  Think  that’s  it  amazing  to  an  heir  millionaire  fortune,  living  in  a  mansion  with  a  private  library,  teething  toys  and  a  workshop.  Having  everything  you  want  with  the  snap  of  your  fingers,  loving  parents  and  you  and  your  siblings  all  get  along.  Think  it’s  the  dream  life.  Well  you’re  wrong.      Well,  the  Baudelaire  Orphans  have  the  worst  of  luck,  having  their  mansion  scorched,  losing  their  home  and  their  parents.  Then,  existing  with  a  horrible  man  their  “relative”  Count  Olaf  who  treats  them  like  slaves  and  physically  abuses  them!  But  these  keen  children  have  to  figure  out  how  to  save  themselves  from  the  horrible  man  who’s  trying  to  snake  their  billion-­‐dollar  fortune,  while  making  a  few  friends  on  the  way.  Will  Violet,  Sunny  and  Klaus  survive  with  their  fortune?      Violet  is  a  clever,  appealing,  reliable  fourteen-­‐year  old  child.  She  is  an  inventor  and  can  always  think  her  way  out  of  the  bleakest  circumstances,  with  the  help  of  her  inventions.  She  knows  when  to  speak  and  how  to  approach  people.  Violet  is  family  driven  and  feels  that  she  is  blamable  for  any  wrong  that  happens  to  her  or  your  family.  So  she  feels  like  she  must  protect  the  remains  of  the  Baudelaire’s.    Klaus  is  book  smart  lad;  he  is  definitely  keener  then  the  standard  elven  year  old.  He  is  book  smart  and  has

read  hundreds  of  books  each  all  captivating  him.  He  has  a  wide  vocabulary  or  words  and  and  often  times  finds  himself  using  most  of  his  time  well,  reading.  He  has  recently  been  very  fascinated  about  wolfs  but  since  he’s  met  the  atrocious  Count  Olaf,  he  hasn’t  had  much  time  for  reading,  except  in  Justice  Strauss  collection  of  books.  But  the  gears  are  always  turning  in  his  head  about  the  knowledge  he  has  absorbed  from  books,  but  during  any  difficulty  he  can  always  use  his  experience  and  hatch  a  solution  in  any  situation.      Sunny,  has  a  different  set  of  skills  for  a  two  year  old.  Most  children  try  to  walk  or  talk,  but  Sunny  she  bites.  Not  metaphorically  literally.  Surprisingly  enough  even  though  she  can  only  say  a  few  things  and  mostly  expresses  herself  by  nibbling  you  (she  likes  you)  or  gnawing  (she  hates  you,  and  she  wants  you  to  know  it).  Sunny  the  youngest  of  the  Baudelaire  orphans  still  plays  a  very  big  part  in  the  outcome  of  a  situation.  With  her  ability  to  observe  a  problem  she  can  well,  bite  her  way  to  victory…  or  be  used  as  a  weapon  against  her  siblings,  unwillingly  or  corse.      Count  Olaf  is  a  very  sickening  man,  his  long  slender  body,  his  scrawny  face,  his  ghastly  uni-­‐brow,  the  unexplainable  obsessions  with  eyes,  (all  over  his  house,  the  eye  tattoo  to  his  ankle  and  his  signature)  his  rundown,  rotten  house  and  his  vile  attitude.  Count  Olaf  doesn’t  care  for  the  bright,  kind  hearted,  innocent,  orphaned  Baudelaire  children.  For  all  he  cares,  he  would  enjoy  them  rotting  to  a  sluggish,  excruciating  death  as  long  as  he  got  the  Baudelaire

fortune.  Count  Olaf  is  vain  and  talentless.  He  believes  he  magnificent  and  a  brilliant  playwright  and  actor,  but  as  this  story  is  very  unfortunate  the  Baudelaire  have  to  listen  to  him  and  applaud,  it’s  like  watching  paint  dry.  Count  Olaf  uses  the  Baudelaire  children  as  slaves  making  them  do  sets  of  monotonous  chores  repairing  his  rotten,  rundown  house  while  he’s  spending  the  very  last  of  his  small  amount  of  money  left  getting  drunk  with  his  threate  troupe.  Being  Count  Olaf  he’s  always  up  too  no  good  trying  to  steal  the  Baudelaire  fortune,  if  the  Baudelaire  do  one  tinsy,  tiny  thing  wrong  he  is  angry  with  them,  abusing  them,  yelling  at  them  and  putting  them  in  terrible  danger.      Justice  Strauss  is  an  energy  ball  of  life.  She  is  a  merciful,  tenderhearted  and  gullible  woman.  She  has  a  soft  spot  for  the  Baudelaire  orphans,  and  enjoys  their  company  like  if  they  were  her  own  children.  Justice  Strauss  well  if  you  can  tell  by  her  name  is  a  judge.  Her  hobbies  are  gardening  and  reading  in  her  cozy  library,  which  the  Baudelaire  orphans  take  a  liking  to.  She  has  a  dream  of  being  an  actress  and  that  is  her  downfall,  or  is  it?    The  thing  I  like  about  Lemony  Snicket’s  writing  is  that  there’s  always  a  problem,  that  looks  so  dark  like  the  Baudelaire  children  are  falling  in  a  never  ending  hole  engulfing  them  in  obscurity  and  misfortune  forever.  But  the  Baudelaire  orphans  always  hatch  a  plan  to  survive.  There’s  always  that  anticipation  that  keeps  you  going  to  see  if  there  hardship  continues.  Will  they  survive?  I  really  like  how  Snicket  seems  to  make  the  character  personas  excel  and  the  way  no  matter  what

mistakes  the  Baudelaire  children  make,  you’ll  always  root  for  them.      The  most  exiting  part  is  Count  Olaf’s  play    “The  Marvelous  Marriage”.  With  the  Glitz’s  and  Glam  of  showbiz.  The  rapid  outfit  and  set  changes,  the  monotonous  performance  and  the  stage  lights,  the  gears  particularly  fascinated  Violet.  But  to  do  you  think  this  was  all  done  out  of  kindness.  No,  like  Lemony  says  this  is  a  very  unfortunate  story  and  Count  Olaf  is  not  kind,  he  has  motive.  I  also  like  how  Violet  is  faced  with  a  choice.  A  terrible  choice  between  herself  or  her  sister.  All  because  of  Count  Olaf…  that  malicious  man.      The  characters  are  witty  and  smart  and  are  faced  with  terrible  situations  that  they  manage  to  get  out  of.  The  Baudelaire  orphans  are  very  brave  going  against  Count  Olaf  wishes  to  safe  themselves.  This  reminds  me  of  when  I  don’t  listen  to  my  parents.  Like  on  one  weekend  in  the  dead  of  night,  my  best  friend  and  I  crept  to  the  fridge  and  slowly  eased  it  open,  (more  like  yanked  it  open.)  We  raided  the  fridge  leaving  no  chocolate  spared.  We  took  the  Kit  Kats,  Kinders,  m&ms.  We  dashed  to  my  room  but  as  we  ran  we  saw  my  mom,  like  the  Baudelaire  children  we  disobeyed  our  guardian  save  our  selves.  We  need  to  save  our  selves  so  we  showed  the  candy  in  our…  pants.  Every  thing  was  in  a  wrapper,  so  it  was  just  semi  gross  when  we  were  eating  it.  But  luckily  we  had  another  set  of    pajama  pants  under  our  other  pajama  pants.  It  was  a  dare.  But  like  the  Baudelaires  we  used  ours  wit  to  get  of  a  situation.
