Lemony Snicket

by Jonathan from Toronto, Ontario, Canada


Ordinary person:

Lemony Snicket is an ordinary person because, like many people, he struggles with love. He once loved a woman named Beatrice, but she died in a tragic accident. Lemony Snicket, like some people, is a hermit, a person who lives alone and seldom leaves his living quarters. Lemony Snicket has encouraged reading and believes it's important.


Extraordinary Circumstances:

Unlike most people, Mr. Snicket is an author; he wrote the popular book series, "A Series of Unfortunate Events," and books 1-3 of the series had been made into a movie called, "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Mr. Snicket, unlike most people, is carbonicly chalanged, meaning he does not exist in flesh and blood, and he is a fictional character, or pen name. But there is a real person behind all f this, and his name is Daniel Handler.

Odd stacked against him:

Mr. Snicket has many odds stacked against him. One of the odds stacked against him is summer. He urges people to stay out of the summer sun's heat, and to stay inside and read. Unfortunatly, it is summer now, and with the greenhouse gasses and pollution, the ozone layer is weakened and the sun will beat down hotter and hotter. Mr. Snicket is a hermit, therefore he seldom leaves his home and remains in hiding, isolated from the world and the people of the world.

How does the hero prevail?:

Lemony Snicket has decided to write about the events in the lives of the Baudalaire orphans. Note: The Baudalaires are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, NOT REAL PEOPLE!!


The books he wrote include:

A Series of Unfortunate Events:

The Bad Begining,

The Reptile Room,

The Wide Window,

The Miserable Mill,

The Austere Academy,

The Ersatz Elevator,

The Vile Village,

The Hostile Hospital,

and The End.
