Series of Unfortunate Events: The Austere Academy

Question: What don't you understand or have questions about?

Answer: I don't understand why there are sad situations in each book. In the series, for example, the Baudelaire orphan's parents died in a fire. Also, there Uncle Monty and Aunt Josephine die because they are killed by the evil Count Olaf.

The Series Of Unfortunate Events:The Austere Academy

This book make me feel how awful these orphans go throw. I'm glad I'm not an orphan. It also makes me feel sad, and happy because they they always help each other. I chose this book because I want a book to have action, fiction, and interesting facts. The one I would change is not repeating thing in The Bad Beginng they kept saying ''when''. I'm wondering that Couch Genghis will be Count Olaf.

Journal Entry #7

Phil told Violet that there was nothing wrong with Klaus and that he was working really hard.  He told Violet that stamping the lumber is the easiest job at the mill.  Phil said Violet should look on the bright side and continued to tell her that there was nothing wrong with Klaus.  There was a huge boom and crashing noise.  The stamping machine had fallen on Phil's left leg and broken it.  Violet rushed over to Phil, but he was not screaming or crying.  He was very calm and said that his leg was just broken.  Violet tells Phil that he has to get to a hospital.  Phil does not want to go.  Many of the workers at the mill promise to share their coupons to the Paultryville hospital so that Phil could go get his leg looked at.  Violet goes and calls for an ambulance.  Foreman Flacutono says that this is the worst disaster that has ever happened at the mill.  He starts to complain that this accident has broken the stamping machine and he doesn't care that Phil has broken his leg.  Klaus begins to talk about the meaning of a word and Violet realizes that he has started to act normal again.  Klaus asks what has happened to Phil.  Klaus does not even remember what he saw a minute ago.  Foreman Flacutono tells Klaus that he has broken the stamping machine and now the workers can not work anymore today.  He says that no one will get coupons for todays work.  Violet says that this is unfair and Foreman Flacutono says that he does not care.  Klaus bends down to pick up Foreman Flacutono's pots and as he gets up his glasses fall off and break.  Flacutono says that Klaus needs to go see the optometrist, but Klaus refuses.  Foreman Flacutono says that he has to go.  Violet says that she and Sunny could take Klaus to see Dr. Orwell.  Foreman Flacutono lets the Baudelaire orphans go to the eye doctor together.

Journal Entry #6

Klaus finally comes back from the eye doctor.  Violet begins to ask Klaus what happened, but Klaus says that he doesn't remember anything.  He remembers breaking his glasses and going with Charles to see the eye doctor, but doesn't remember anything after that.  Violet told Klaus to lay down on the bottom bunk to get some rest.  In the morning, Foreman Flacutono came into the room banging his pots.  Violet, Sunny and Klaus got up in a hurry.  Klaus didn't know where he was.  He told Violet that he didn't know where he was and didn't remember what happened the night before.  Violet noticed that Klaus was acting weird.  Klaus walked out of the bedroom and into the courtyard without putting on his shoes.   Violet tells Phil that there is something wrong with Klaus and that he should find out what it is.  Phil tells Violet that there is nothing to worry about and that she should not cause any trouble.  The Baudelaire orphans began their work at the mill.  Violet began to ask Klaus about what happened the night before, but Klaus would not answer the questions or say a word.  Klaus then followed Foreman Flacutono to the stamping machine and Klaus began to stamp the lumber with the mill's name.

Journal Entry #5

Violet and Sunny were worried about Klaus because he had not come back from the optometrist.  It was already dinner time and he was not back.  They were worried that the optometrist was Count Olaf and that he had taken Klaus away from Paultryville.  Phil told the orphans that it was going to be alright and that the optometrist was their friend, but the Baudelaire orphans knew that if Count Olaf was the optometrist, then he definitely wasn't their friend.  Sunny and Violet went to their bunk and began to think of Klaus and what could have happened to him.  The workers in their bunks began to whisper to each other, but in about ten minutes the whole room was silent and filled with snores.  Violet and Sunny could not fall asleep because they feared for their brother's life.

Journal Entry #4

The Baudelaire orphans start to debark the logs. Sunny couldn't use her debarker, so she used her teeth. Charles came into the mill and told Foreman Flacutono that the orphans could not be working in the mill because they were too young. Foreman Flacutono said that their guardian gave specific orders to him that the orphans had to work in the mill. Foreman Falcutono gave each Baudelaire orphan a piece of gum for their lunch. On their lunch break, Charles then took the orphans to see the library. When they entered, they asked where all the books were. Charles said that the owner of the mill let him build the library, but not buy any books. Charles had only three books in the library which he put in there. One of the books scared the Baudelaire orphans. The book had a big eye on the cover just like the eye that Count Olaf has tattooed on his ankle. Charles said the local optometrist wrote the book and gave it to him. The orphans fear that Count Olaf is the optometrist. Charles took them back to the mill. While working in the mill, Foreman Flacutono tripped Klaus. Klaus fell and broke his glasses. Charles then took him to see the local optometrist. Violet and Sunny were left behind and were scarred that Klaus would have to face Count Olaf alone.
