Synopsis Of The Vile Village By Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket is an amazing writer, and one of my favorite books he has written is The End. AS the title implies, it is the end of a thirteen book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Definitely on the of the best series ever written. This book, in my opinion is the best one of all the thirteen.

Kristin Lewis uses the literary device, a simile, in the first paragraph. She compares “New Jersey” having heat “like a hot blanket.” She uses this device to compare and help the reader understand how hot it was during “the summer of 1912,” in New Jersey.

Society tends to misjudge people base on their appearances instead of their personality. This can be seen in the play Cyrano De Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. In which Roxane represents that vile aspect of society. Roxane is attracted to Christian based on his looks, and under minds Cyrano because of his appearance. Society misjudgment of people cause oppression on an individual and it is from oppression and misjudgment f character that causes self consciousness to be born. Cyrano exhibits this self consciousness by helping Christian. Such oppression or self conscious aids to form magnificent characteristics attributes such as the ones portrayed by Cyrano throughout the novel. After all of its societies misjudgment that causes Cyrano to be

I don’t like the way the government treats people in this book. The government is too controlling. In the book you are only allowed two kids per family. The government can see everything you are doing on a computer or hear what you say when you are calling someone. They can also make you do what they want. For example if they need more land they can take yours, or if they

Main character, protagonist, 12-14 years old, blond hair, dark eyes, foster daughter of Hans and Rosa Hubermann. She does not know how to read when she arrives at Himmel street and is distrusting. By the end of the novel she loves her friends and family and has her own set of morals.

The book I read was "The Midwife's Apprentice" by Karen Cushman. The book is about a shy and timid girl names "Brat" who is homeless and has no family or friends. Brat believes she does not belong anywhere, nor is she important. A woman named Jane finds Brat sleeping in a farmer's dung heap and decides to take her under her wing. Jane is a Midwife (a woman who helps other woman during childbirth), and told Brat that she can be her apprentice in exchange for food. As Brat starts working with Jane she learns more about herself and begins to stand up for herself. Brat gives herself a real name, Alyce and now knows she does belong somewhere and she has a purpose in life. I think that this book doesn't fall under the category of the what children

The children’s book that I selected to analyze is Mission: New Baby, written by Susan Hood. The book focuses on the roles of older siblings and what type of responsibilities they have to partake in. The book begins with the family announcement to their children about expecting a new baby into the family. Then the child helps their parents prepare for the baby by setting up the stroller and the new baby’s room. The baby is born into the family and the book goes into details of what a helpful older sibling is expected to do. The numerous ways the book provides specific responsibilities of older siblings are through reading stories, teaching them the ABC’s, playing hide-and-seek, and so on. I selected this book because

According to Annette Gordon-Reed, It is common for people to look at women’s novels and not take them seriously, especially in that time. “Jane Smiley, in a controversial essay, asked why Stowe’s novel has been more harshly treated than works written by men which are just as dated and offensive in their treatment of race, notably, Huckleberry Finn.” (Annette Gordon-Reed). I believe that Stowe’s novel was taken seriously as a woman’s novel. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was very influential in that time period, and still is today. The novel is commonly noted as a big influence that began the Civil War, and people still refer to it today. Uncle Tom’s Cabin is used very commonly today as a reference to slavery and the time period, and in many literature courses throughout high school and college. It is also stated in this critique that, “As a woman, Stowe had no hope of making a statue” (Annette Gordon-Reed). I disagree with this statement as well. Although women, along with blacks, were suppressed in that time period, there were many influential women in that time period that made a ‘statue’ for themselves, or a name.

I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. This book is about a young orphan child, with a never-ending imagination, named Anne. Anne has been taken in and out of orphanages all her life. Until, one day Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Miss Marilla Cuthbert, are interested in having a young boy to live with them. They called the orphanage and told them to send the child on the train. He goes to the train station to pick the child up, but to his surprise he found Anne. Anne tells Matthew how she imagines living there would be like. She was so set on staying that Matthew just couldn't leave her at the train station. He takes her to his house, and while on the journey, Anne is enjoying every moment of the beautiful flowered valleys.

The Orphans of Normandy by Nancy Amis is the true story of the orphans of the Clos Orphanage during the Allied invasion of 1944. This story is uniquely told through the pictures drawn by the girls who were forced by the Germans to leave du Clos in the middle of the night while the terrors of war surrounded them. As they journeyed through the countryside seeking safety and shelter, the girls' pictures give us a small sense of what they experienced, what they saw, and how they felt while their country was deep in war.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin, is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe which originally was published on March 20, 1852. Under the background that the country had been divided over the issue over slavery, the south states of the country are slaves states, and the north states of the country are slave free states. Different sides of the country have distinct views over slavery system in south. The north, specially abolitionist, views slavery system is villainous and immoral, it takes away the basic right of human which is freedom, and it againsts God which is Christian believes. The theme of the novel based on the abolitionist views. The purpose of the novel is that tell the world what is slave life like, especially for those northerners never been to the south.Their life will be strenuous or comfortable is depend on what kind of slave owner they meet. The book is appeal people to face and deal with the issue of slavery which lasted in the history for a long time.

I've read many books in my life that touched me but I've never read a book that changed me as much as the book The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket.. The book starts, of course, with a bad beginning.
