My First Book Response
This is my first book response.It is about A Series of Unfortunate Events,book 1. After the main character's(Violet,age 14,Klaus,age 12,and Sunny,a baby who's four teeth can really bite.)parents die in the fire of their house,everything goes downhill.According to their parents will, they must live with their closest relative who at the moment is a man named Count Olaf(Who is either a third cousin four times removed or a fourth cousin three times removed.)who wants their fortune.
He makes them share one room with one bed and makes them do the hardest of chores(like cooking a meal for 10 adults and chopping firewood and painting the porch.).
What could they do? Their only friend was Olaf's neighbor,Justice Strauss.But she couldn't help them.All she did for them was let them borrow books.
After Violet, Klaus, and Sunny thought they would live with Count Olaf for the rest of their life, he started acting nicer.He made them oatmeal with raspberries and told them they would be in his play(I forgot to tell you he was a actor!).It was called The Marvelous Marriage.Klaus and Sunny would play midgets and Violet would be the bride.
Was he just acting nicer? Or was he planning something? Klaus grabbed a book from Justice Strauss' house.This was their only chance.Klaus read all night long. And when when it was morning,he went down to the kitchen. After Count Olaf came down,Klaus explained what Count Olaf Was doing.He was actually going to marry Violet! Then he would be able to take her fortune!
But Count Olaf had a surprise too. he had locked sunny up in the highest tower,which was 30 feet up!And if anything they did messed up the play, he would radio his guard and his guard would drop Sunny down the tower.There was nothing they could do to stop him. There fortune would be gone.
Soon enough, the day of the play came.They had gotten into their costumes and had on their make-up.Scene 1 and scene 2 had finished.Time for scene 3.They were in a jam.Any wrong move and Sunny would fall 30 feet down.So they had to do the play.There was nothing they could do--Or could they?
As soon as scene 3 began,Violet was sweating.Justice Strauss was talking,Count Olaf was grinning and soon it was time for the "I do's". Violet had to say "I do".And of course Count Olaf said "I do".Justice handed the declaration of marriage paper to Olaf and he signed it.Violet's left hand was shaking as she signed.But she did.
Olaf radioed his guard."All went well.Bring the orphan to the theater."
"Attention,everybody!"Count Olaf announced to the audience."I have just officially married Violet Baudelaire."
"What?!?!!?That's impossible!!!!!"shouted Justice Strauss.
"No,it's true."Violet told Justice.
"But how could it--I can't believe--"
"How easy you are to trick?"Olaf finished."It was almost too easy."
"Actually,"came a voice from a group of actors and actresses,"Violet isn't your wife." It was Klaus speaking."She had signed with her left hand, not her right hand.So,she isn't married to you."
"What?"Olaf shouted.He grabbed his radio,but it was to late.Sunny and the guard had just walked into the theater.Everybody ran to Sunny and was asking her if she was okay.Suddenly,the lights all went out."Huh?", "What just happened?", 'Where are you?",and "Who am I touching?" were the loudest of the questions people asked.
Violet walked over to the place where she remembered the lights were.And just before she flipped the switch,she hear something in her ear."I'll get the fortune if it's the last thing I do.And when I do,I'll get rid of you orphans once and for all."
When Violet turned the lights back on, no one was standing next to her.But she knew it had been Count Olaf.
