Series of Unfortunate Events - Reptile Room - Broke Down
Character

Q: Who are the main characters in the story?

A: The main characters in the story are Violet, Klaus, Sunny, and Count Olaf (a.k.a Stehpano). The series and book revoles around these characters. Without them, there wouldn't be a story. Uncle Monty, on the other hand, is more of a side character. He may be looking after the Baudelaire children, but he is still just there to be a filler.

Q: Choose a character. Why is this character important in the story?
A: Violet Baudelaire would be my character of choice. Violet is the eldest of the Baudelaire children, and the natural leader of the group. Violet is important to the story in many ways, one being that she is the one who is ment to inherit the Baudelaire fortune when she becomes of age. She is also the one who invents things that helps her younger siblings out of trouble.

Setting

Q: Where does this story take place?

A: The book takes place at the house of Doctor Montgomery Montgomery, although it's never made clear where exactly his house is. It is said to be past Hazy Harbor and into the Town of Tedia on a stretch of road called Lousy Lane. It is said to be a very unpleasant drive to Uncle Monty's house.

Q: What is this place like?

A: Doctor Montgomery's home is very misleading. On the outside it seems scary, making the children not want to go in, but on the inside it is very pleasant. The house is a very happy place for the children. The mood of the place is very uplifting and joyous. Sadly, the mood changes when Stephano moves in. It becomes very uncomfotable.

Style

Q: What did you like about the way the author has written the story?

A: I like that the story was written differently from other books. Lemony Snicket writes with a very unique style, you might even say odd. He uses uncommon and complex words that not most people know the meaning of, but then uses Klaus or other characters to explain the meaning. Lemony also speaks to you and asks you question, making you

    This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy. This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

    I am confused by the fact that Cinder chose to go to Europe in search for a woman instead of going to Dr. Erland. Another question I thought of while reading the book was, why would Scarlet trust a man who used to work with kidnappers, he could be lying to her. This book reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood as they both have similar characters, in both books there is a little girl, a wolf and a grandmother. I love how Meyer’s books are so similar to classic fairy tales but yet they are so different. Myer writes this book in the future where an emperor rules the whole world. A question I have for the Mrs. Meyer is, what made her think of changing the government from a democratic government to a monarchy. Overall I love this book and I can’t wait to finish it. I just hope it isn’t a cliffhanger like the previous book,…

    The setting of the story changes as the book goes on but for the most part the story takes place in Boston. The story first takes place in the Lapham household in the early 1770’s. The setting soon becomes the Lyte’s mansion, the courthouse, and various shops in Boston for a while. Finally the setting stays in one place for most of the book when Johnny moves into the Boston Observer shop. Some of the major themes are war transforms boys into men, war, pride, and forgiveness. Since the setting is Boston, where the British soldier…

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    I think this book was one of the best books I have read. It’s funny, has action, and is serious at moments. It was written really well and kept me entertained the whole time reading it. The only thing I would change is at the end of the book it ends to fast and doesn’t really explain everything I was thinking of. Other than that it was an awesome book.…

    What I enjoyed most about reading this book was the way the author introduced and described all of the characters. I had a great picture in my mind about each and every character and I felt myself thinking about some of them even when they were absent from a page or two. It became so interesting that before I could finish the book, I had to turn to the internet to look up the characters of the movie. I just had to see them in the flesh!…
