Lemony Snicket

(AG) Lemony Snicket captures the hearts and minds of children at a young age, but how can people in the real world continue the excitement of reading beyond that one author? As the first generation of my family in America, I had a difficult time during my beginnings of reading and writing. Throughout my years, I’ve shown a bit of improvement. I understand that incorporating this foundation is the key to opportunities and understanding. Despite that I sometimes still struggle in this genre, I don’t want to stop developing myself to becoming a better reader and writer. (Thesis)The importance of literacy has been instilled in me since a young age, and although I did not recognize its importance then, I strive to reap the benefits of it now as…

A/N: Sam is pretty cute. Agree or Disagree? "Like a church bell, a coffin, and a vat of melted chocolate, a closet is rarely a comfortable place to hide." -Lemony Snicket, The Blank Book ••• The darkness of my lids and the blinking of my alarm didn't help jog my memory. I threw something and everything went dark. I clench my hands and squeeze my eyes shut. Remember dammit, remem- It was an early morning in August when They informed me an error had occurred in their system and it put…

collection of short scary stories by well known children 's authors. The opening story is the one I want to focus on, Thought you ought to know, by Lemony Snicket. Now this story in particular does not have all of my guidelines for a good scary story, but it freaked me out so much that I think It deserves to be mentioned and discussed. The only guideline it didn’t meet was the need for pictures, but the story itself was descriptive enough it didn’t need a picture. The story is about a…

Title My life has been a series of bad timing and bad luck. I believe if Lemony Snickets would have heard my story she would have titled her series The Series of Semi-Unfortunate Events. When most kids look back on their childhood they think about family vacations, the time they built a tree house with dad or running through the sprinklers when I look back the first thing I think of is when my parents got divorce. I don’t want to set the wrong picture for my childhood, it was great. I battled…

EXT. THE LOST ARMS – NIGHT He walks back to the Lost Arms with the look of a man feeling much less weight on his shoulders, eagerly needing a few bottles of root beer float to get his strength back from a draining day. His demeanour suddenly changes as if he anticipates trouble would be waiting for him, he comes to stop. We get a close up from LEMONY’s P.O.V of an unusual car parked out the front with a red light on top. It seems like a police car, but as he gets closer it comes to look even…

‘The Dark’ is a picture book written by Lemony Snicket and illustrated by Jon Klassen that centres around the two themes of fear and imagination. The main idea of this book is to demonstrate that in order to overcome fears, we have to use our imagination. The book shows the importance of overcoming your fears and not being afraid to try something new. Picture books are important as they help us connect with what we observe and how we link concepts with words. The book tells the tale of the…

cared about someone, and that affected your decisions in life? My guess is yes because often in real life the people you love and care about affect your decisions greatly. The two books The Slippery Slope and The Hunger Games both teach this lesson throughout their books. In The Slippery Slope, a book about three siblings whose parents had perished in a fire and are on the run from Count Olaf who is trying to get ahold of their parent's fortune. The author (Lemony Snicket) teaches that people…

When I started this book, I wasn’t exactly sure if I would like it or not, but after reading a little bit of it, I knew it was going to be a great novel. The author, Lemony Snicket, did a very good job of telling the story with the perfect combination of mystery, suspense, and comedy. One reason I enjoyed reading this book is the fact that the author wrote the book in such a way that you cannot guess what is going to happen next. Despite the fact that you come up with numerous predictions of…
