Title of Text: Night of the Twisters Section 5
Minutes: 40
Summary: While Dan and Arthur tried to find Mrs. Smiley, they thought that she was already killed. When they arrived though, the house only lost its roof, and received a couple dents. Other than that, the house was in perfect condition. They looked all over the house, and they finally found her sleeping on the couch. Turns out, she never noticed the tornado. She felt very healthy and they tried getting her out. The kids brought Mrs. Smiley to a mini bus that will take her to a refuge to stay at. The kids on the other hand went on to a cop car with a cop named Kelly and he started bringing the kids to Kmart where they would provide the kids some clothes to wear. When they were headed over there, the radio started going crazy. People were telling Kelly to get out of the car but Kelly only told the kids to get down. Then, a vortex came by just missing them. The glass of the windows shattered and Kelly got a blow to the eyes. The kids were alright but Dan had to drive for Kelly because Kelly was loosing his sight. Dan had plenty of experience for driving from his family letting him drive the tractor. A connection I have with Dan is that when he heard all the voices layering on the radio, he felt like his ears were going to explode. I would feel the same way if I heard a million voices. A prediction i have is that Kelly will not be able to continue driving his car and the kids will get help from Kmart. A question I have is how could Mrs. Smiley possibly sleep through a tornado ripping her house apart? It is so weird.

Title of Text: Series of Unfortunate Events-The Reptile Room
Minutes: 90
Summary: Stephano came by and told the kids that he would be the one to take the kids to Peru. The kids were in shock and wanted to check with Uncle Monty. When they went to the Reptile Room, it was completely silent. The kids turned the lights on to see if he was hiding and when Klaus flipped the switch, there he was, sitting on the couch super still. His body was completely pale and there were two holes under his eye which may have meant that he got a snake bite. While the kids got into the car with Stephano and started driving to their transportation, they crashed into a car that they soon found out belonged to Mr. Poe. They all went back to the house and Stephano called a doctor over to check on Uncle Monty. While the doctor was checking on him, the kids looked for clues. Violet decided to make a lock pick and she later opened Stephano's suitcase. She found a bottle of poison, a needle, tickets to Peru, Uncle Monty's herpetologist member card, powder, and a mirror. Violet spent a lot of time trying to link them together until she came up with the perfect explanation. She figured that Stephano used the poison and the needle to kill Uncle Monty by stabbing him under the eye. Then, he stabbed a second hole to make it look like a snake bite. He would then use the member card so he can use the Peru ticket and get the kids to come with him alone. He also used the powder to hide the tattoo from his leg. He was really Count Olaf, the man trying to steal the Baudelaire fortune! They made sure by rubbing the man's ankle and there it was, the picture of an eye which was basically Count Olaf's logo. When Count Olaf tried to run for it, the doctor came with him. Sunny then bit the hand of the doctor off revealing that the doctor was really the hookman from Count Olaf's theater troupe. The kids were upset that they let go yet another criminal. A connection I have with the kids is how they felt so bummed out that they let go Count Olaf yet again. If I let a criminal escape multiple times, I would be very upset. A thing I saw in Violet is that throughout the series, Violet has become smarter and smarter and that she has become more confident in herself.

Title of Text: Series of Unfortunate Events-The Miserable Mill
Minutes: 70
Summary: The Baudelaire kids were riding a train that was leading them to their new owner. They were looking out the window and all they saw was a very ugly forest that seemed gray and lonely. When they arrived, they found a note saying that their new caretaker wants to see them in the dorm for the Lucky Smells Lumbermill. When they arrived, they found a bunch of adult men and woman on bunks playing cards. The kids were immediately put to sleep, but they didn't bother because all they could think of was their horrible past. The next thing they knew, they were quickly thrown to work. The kids had to debark 14 trees while facing back-breaking pain and the moist, sticky feeling of the factory's heat. When the lunch break finally came, the kids were disappointed. All they got was a square of gum. A small square. They also only got 5 minutes to chew. After the lunch break was over, everyone went back to work except for the kids. They had to pay a visit to the owner. The kids explained to the owner that they were put to harsh work and the owner said that it was all a huge mistake. Then, out of nowhere, a man came up and disagreed. He said that he was their new owner and that they would make a deal. The kids would work for their owner until they get the fortune in exchange for protection from Count Olaf and his buddies. The kids thought it was unfair but they didn't disagree. A connection I have with the kids is how they felt about their lame lunch break. I would feel the exact same way if I got 5 minutes to chew a small piece of gum. It doesn't seem fair at all. A question I have is why must the the foreman be so harsh to the workers? He wakes the people up very early, and doesn't give them decent meals! A thing I see in Sunny is that she always does her job. If she is directed to take the bark off a tree, she does anything she can to get it done
