To: Violet

Hello! I have read “The bad beginning,” “The Reptile room,” and “The wide window.” I have lots of things to tell you. First of all, I feel really sorry for you about your parent’s terrible accident. If it wasn’t for that accident all of you might not have hardship at all. Also you might be normal children like others. And when I read that you and your siblings have survived from the Count Olaf's plot I was reallly impressed. If I were in your situation I an not sure I could have survived well like you. In addition it’s really sad that you couldn’t find a capable guardian who could take care of you. I really can’t understand Aunt Josephine. I mean although she wasn’t the best guardian, still she was better then Count Olaf of course. But she was afraid of such a silly thing. If I was in your situation I would have tried harder to persuade Aunt Josephine to use telephone, microwave, and other machines. However, the thing that made me really mad and crazy was when Mr. Poe didn’t believe your statement that Captain Sam was real Count Olaf. I mean Mr. Poe has seen Count Olaf more then two times and he can not realize him?! That doesn’t make sense. Also in the end when the Count Olaf run away and you and siblings try to catch him, but Mr. Poe tells them that it’s too dangerous for children. Because of that they always fail catching the Count Olaf. Even though you are always in the worst situation ever, you have best young brother and sister. As you can see if you and your young brother and sister combine their ability you guys can do anything. Every single riddles are solved by each of your siblings. You are the oldest sister, which means you have more responsibility and to take care of. I know it’s really hard for you, but I hope you can solve other problems as well as you did before. I’m looking forward reading another unfortunate event series. Bye!

P.S.
I will pray for you that you and your young sister and brother have good guardian and settle down someday as soon as possible.

I also think that this story is very unfortunate and sad for the children to go through. A lesson that I learned out of this book was 'age dosn't matter how much big thinkier you are. Basically, this means that no matter how young you are, adults should listen to you without biased opinions. If Mr.Poe and the other police mens or adults listened to the children, they would have caught Count Olaf a long time ago. Just because you're young, dosn't mean that you don't know what is going on in your surroundings. I think the children should do a better job in persuading the adults to listen to them. In that way, their lives will not be so unfortunate.

Hi, This is Elizabeth from Mr. Munson's Reading for Pleasure class. I have never read this book but I watched the movie. I feel sorry for the children in the book too. I like how you wrote about what you would do if you were in Violet's situation. It's very sweet of you to pray for them too because they definitly need it!
