The Series of Unfortunate Events books are so beautifully-written, that probably, anyone who reads them, from young, to very old, wil love them from the front cover, to the back.
This Author, Lemony Snicket uses the important literary elements that of course all spectacular authers like him should use, which includes action, the antagonist element, which he shows through count Olaf, character, which includes Sunny, Klaus, Violet, Count Olaf, and his troupe. He also uses various types of conflict, person against person,and in this book, person against society. somehow, this author is the narrarator of the book, but puts his own life events into it. his. Lemony Snicket writes in third person, because he is not actually in the book. He also uses biography, but on probably on fictional people, because Snicket is writing about the Series of Unfortunate Events that happened in these unfortunate childrens lives.
Characterization: Violet, the oldest Bauderlaire child is a very polite, smart, and clever, 14 year-old girl. She loves to invent things.When she is trying to think of something to create, she ties up her hair in a ribbon, to enable her to think better, because her long brown hair is no longer in her eyes.Violet helps her siblings, Klaus and Sunny, get through tough situations, with her inventing skills.
Plot- The main events in this book, is that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny's guardians have all been killed or have died, so they have to go to a school, called the Austere Academy. There, they have to live in a little old shack, made of tin, which the other children who go to the school, call the orphans shack. Like all of the other books in this series, count Olaf has found yet another way to hide his 1 eyebrow, and the tattoo of an eye on his ankle, and yet another scheme to steal the Baudelaire fortune. At Austere Academy, they befriend some other orphans, who are triplets, named Isadora and Dunkin Quagmire. Unfortunatley, their other sibling, Quigley, had died along with their parents in a fire.
